Textbook Question
Chapter 16, Problem 24P
You own your own firm, and you want to raise $30 million to fund an expansion. Currently, you own 100% of the firm's equity, and the firm has no debt. To raise the $30 million solely through equity, you will need to sell two-thirds of the firm. However, you would prefer to maintain at least a 50% equity stake in the firm to retain control.
- a. If you borrow $20 million, what fraction of the equity will you need to sell to raise the remaining $10 million? (Assume perfect capital markets.)
- b. What is the smallest amount you can borrow to raise the $30 million without giving up control? (Assume perfect capital markets.)

- An investor is considering starting a new business. The company would require $500,000 of assets, and it would be financed entirely with common stock. The investor will go forward only if she thinks the firm can provide a 15.0% return on the invested capital, which means that the firm must have an ROE of 15.0%.

- Companies that use debt in their capital structure are said to be using financial leverage. Using leverage can increase shareholder returns, but leverage also increases the risk that shareholders bear. Consider the following case: Universal Exports Inc. is a small company and is considering a project that will require $650,000 in assets. The project will be financed with 100% equity. The company faces a tax rate of 25%. What will be the ROE (return on equity) for this project if it produces an EBIT (earnings before interest and taxes) of $140,000? 16.15% 12.11% 11.30% 13.73% Determine what the project’s ROE will be if its EBIT is –$40,000.

We want to buy a majority interest in the firm by using a lot of debt and as little equity as possible on our part. If we assume that there will be a 20% premium increase once we start bidding for the firm, how much should we borrow, if we can use the cash of the target itself to fund our acquisition?arrow_forwardA company currently has EBIT of $25,000 and is all-equity financed. The company expect EBIT to stay at this level indefinitely. Now assume the firm issues $50,000 of debt paying interest of 6% per year, using the proceeds to retire equity. The debt is expected to be permanent. What will happen to the total value of the firm?

- A firm is worth $50 or $180 with equal probability and is financed with debt that has a face value of $60. It is considering a new project that is equally likely to be worth - $50 or +$40.

What will happen to the value of the firm if the new project is undertaken?arrow_forwardCompanies that use debt in their capital structure are said to be using financial leverage. Using leverage can increase shareholder returns, but leverage also increases the risk that shareholders bear.
