Q.An unlevered company that has a current value of $1,600,000 is considering borrowing $700,000 and using the borrowed funds to repurchase shares. The company can borrow at 5% and has a cost of equity of 13%. EBIT is expected to remain the same every year forever. Assume all available earnings are immediately distributed to common shareholders and all the M&M assumptions are satisfied. What is the company's EBIT according to M&M Proposition I without taxes?
Consider this example:
Shares of Ex Why Zee, Inc. (ticker symbol: XYZ) are currently
trading at $6 per share. XYZ plans to issue $6M in short term
debt and use the money they borrow to repurchase $6M worth
of their own stock. What effect will the debt issuance and
share repurchase have on the balance sheet?
There isn't enough information to answer this question
Assets will increase by $6M
Liabilities will decrease by $6M
Number of Shares Outstanding will increase by 1 million
Equity will decrease by $6M

- Question 1 DMC currently has 100,000 shares of common stock outstanding with a market price of $50 per share. It also has $2 million in 7% bonds currently selling at par. The company is considering a $4 million expansion program that it can finance either (I) all common stock at $50 per share, or (II) all bonds at 9%. The company estimates that if the expansion is undertaken, it can attain, in the near future, $1 million EBIT. The company’s tax rate is 40%. Calculate EPS for each plan. Draw the EBIT-EPS graph. What is the break-even or indifference point between the two alternatives? Due to expansionary credit conditions / monetary policy, you expect that sales and EBIT next year would be greater than the break-even calculated in © above, what form of financing would you recommend? Which plan is riskier, I or II? Why?arrow_forwardSuppose IWT has decided to distribute $50 million, which it presently is holding in liquid short-term investments. IWT’s value of operations is estimated to be about $1,937.5 million; it has $387.5 million in debt and zero preferred stock. As mentioned previously, IWT has 100 million shares of stock outstanding. Assume that IWT has not yet made the distribution. What is IWT’s intrinsic value of equity? What is its intrinsic stock price per share? Now suppose that IWT has just made the $50 million distribution in the form of dividends. What is IWT’s intrinsic value of equity? What is its intrinsic stock price per share? Suppose instead that IWT has just made the $50 million distribution in the form of a stock repurchase. Now what is IWT’s intrinsic value of equity? How many shares did IWT repurchase? How many shares remained outstanding after the repurchase? What is its intrinsic stock price per share after the repurchase?arrow_forwardCapital Structure Analysis Pettit Printing Company has a total market value of 100 million, consisting of 1 million shares selling for 50 per share and 50 million of 10% perpetual bonds now selling at par. The companys EBIT is 13.24 million, and its tax rate is 15%. Pettit can change its capital structure by either increasing its debt to 70% (based on market values) or decreasing it to 30%. If it decides to increase its use of leverage, it must call its old bonds and issue new ones with a 12% coupon. If it decides to decrease its leverage, it will call its old bonds and replace them with new 8% coupon bonds. The company will sell or repurchase stock at the new equilibrium price to complete the capital structure change. The firm pays out all earnings as dividends; hence, its stock is a zero-growth stock. Its current cost of equity, rs, is 14%. If it increases leverage, rs will be 16%. If it decreases leverage, rs will be 13%. What is the firms WACC and total corporate value under each capital structure?arrow_forward

The current weighted average cost of capital is 7%. It also carries long-term debt of $200,000 at an interest rate of 7% p.a. One of the agenda items in its AGM is to switch to a D/E of 1. Based on this information, answer the following questions: a) What will be the number of outstanding shares for Jimmy Shoes Inc. if it switches to a D/E ratio of 1? (Hint: Current Debt = $200,000, current equity = 10,000 shares x $40 = $400,000, current D/E = 2/4 = 0.5/1. If the firm seeks to increase its D/E to 1, it can think of borrowing more) b) What is the level of EBIT at which shareholders will be indifferent between the two capital structures, the one with a D/E = 0.5/1 and the other with a D/E of 1?arrow_forwardQuestion 1 ABC Limited is an all-equity firm and has a present capital structure of 10 million shares of common stock, which trades at $12 per share.
