The liabilities and owners’ equity for Campbell Industries is found here.
What percentage of the firm’s assets does the firm now finance using debt (liabilities)?
If Campbell were to purchase a new warehouse for $1.4 million and finance it entirely with long-term debt, what would be the firm’s new debt ratio?
(b) Given that nothing else is borrowed in the near future, the length of time it will take
a government to completely eliminate its stock of debt will be entirely dependent on
how much more annual repayments exceed the annual interest expenses. The
interest expense portion of the debt is a function of the present stock of debt, y, and
is given by
i(y) %3D у — у?
The amount of money that the government repays to reduce its debt stock is
assumed to be a fraction, a, of the present stock of debt. Repayment is done at the
end of each financial year.
(i)
(ii)
Solve for the present stock of debt, y, as a function of t.
What will happen to government debt as t → o? Justify your response.

- A company can borrow funds at LIBOR minus 50 basis points. There is a swap available where one side pays 7% and the other side pays LIBOR-1%. The company is concerned that interest rates will increase and, thus, wants to change the nature of its liability from paying floating to paying fixed rate. What rate can the company pay on its lability after it engages in the swap?arrow_forwardConsider two hypothetical firms: Firm U, which uses no debt financing, and Firm L, which uses €10,000 of 12 percent debt.

This means that the current take price level of $9,170,000 would increase by $500,000. This change would offer more collateral to the bank, and the bank would then increase the GAP loan. The GAP loan requires 200% collateral in unsold rights. This change would impact the equity investment. Question: What would be the new equity investment be if the budget stays the same?arrow_forward
