Chapter 15, Problem 3QP
Rights [LO4] Red Shoe Co. has concluded that additional equity financing will be needed to expand operations and that the needed funds will be best obtained through a rights offering. It has correctly determined that as a result of the rights offering, the share price will fall from $51 to $49.30 ($51 is the rights-on price; $49.30 is the ex-rights price, also known as the when-issued price). The company is seeking $17 million in additional funds with a per-share subscription price equal to $35. How many shares are there currently, before the offering? (Assume that the increment to the market value of the equity equals the gross proceeds from the offering.)

III. Free Cash Flow Valuation
Goodyear Industries is considering going public but is
unsure of a fair offering price for the company. The firm's
CFO has gathered data for performing the valuation using
the free cash flow valuation model.
The firm's weighted average cost of capital is 11% and it
has P1.5 million of debt at market value and P500,000 of
preferred stock at its assumed market value. The
estimated free cash flows over the next 5 years 2016
through 2020 are given below. Beyond 2020 to infinity, the
firm expects its free cash flow to grow by 3% annually.
2016-P 250,00 2019-P 450,000
2017- 320,000 2020- 480,000
2018-
400,000
Required:
Using the free cash flow valuation method, estimate the
value of Goodyear Industries' entire company, the total
value of Common Stock and the estimated value per share
assuming the firm plants to issue 250,000 shares of
common stock.
3. Rights [LO4] Red Shoe Co. has concluded that
additional equity financing will be needed to expand
operations and that the needed funds will be best obtained

a result of the rights offering, the share price will fall from
$49 to $47.60 ($49 is the rights-on price; $47.60 is the ex-
rights price, also known as the when-issued price). The
company is seeking $16.5 million in additional funds with a
per-share subscription price equal to $34. How many shares
are there currently, before the offering? (Assume that the
increment to the market value of the equity equals the gross
proceeds from the offering.)

- Do solve all three parts Suppose that your company wants to raise additional money via a right offering. Currently, the value of the company is $10,000,000 and the price per share is $100. The company wants to raise $1,000,000. (a) Suppose that your company wants to avoid a large drop in price after the rights offering. In particular, it wants the ex-rights price to be $95. What should be the subscription price? How many additional shares should the company issue? (b) Compute the value of the right. How many rights are required to buy one share? (c) Suppose now that the firm decides to hire an investment bank as an underwriter to facilitate the process. Suppose that the underwriter charges a 2% fee for each dollar raised in the rights offering. Redo part (a), assuming that the ex-rights price is still $95. How does your answer change if, on top of the 2% fee, the underwriter requires a fixed payment of $10,000?arrow_forward6.

Pierce Products Inc. is considering changing its capital structure. F. Pierce currently has no debt and no preferred stock, but it would like to add some debt to take advantage of low interest rates and the tax shield. Its investment banker has indicated that the pre-tax cost of debt under various possible capital structures would be as follows: F. Pierce uses the CAPM to estimate its cost of common equity, rs and at the time of the analysis the risk-free rate is 5%, the market risk premium is 6%, and the companys tax rate is 40%. F. Pierce estimates that its beta now (which is unlevered because it currently has no debt) is 0.8. Based on this information, what is the firms optimal capital structure, and what would be the weighted average cost of capital at the optimal capital structure?arrow_forward

Assume that the company is interested in dramatically expanding its operations and that this expansion will require significant amounts of capital. The company would like to avoid transactions costs involved in issuing new equity. Given this scenario, would it make more sense for the company to maintain a constant dividend payout ratio or to maintain the same per-share dividend? I. Since the company would like to avoid transactions costs involved in issuing new equity, it would be best for the firm to maintain the same per-share dividend. II.
