The firm will pay interest only on this loan each year, and it will maintain an outstanding balance of $49.3 million on the loan. After making the investment, Kohwe expects to earn free cash flows of $10.7 million each year. However, due to reduced sales and other financial distress costs, Kohwe's expected free cash flows will decline to $9.7 million per year. Kohwe currently has 4.6 million shares outstanding, and it has no other assets or opportunities. Assume that the appropriate discount rate for Kohwe's future free cash flows is 7.9% and Kohwe's corporate tax rate is 40%. What is Kohwe's share price today given the financial distress costs of leverage? The price per share is $23.01 per share. (Round to the nearest cent.) Carrow_forward
- In year 1, AMC will earn $2,200 before interest and taxes. The market expects these earnings to grow at a rate of 3.3% per year. The firm will make no net investments (i.e., capital expenditures will equal depreciation) or changes to net working capital. Assume that the corporate tax rate equals 25%. Right now, the firm has $5,500 in risk-free debt. It plans to keep a constant ratio of debt to equity every year, so that on average the debt will also grow by 3.3% per year.
