Bedrock Company has $70 million in debt and $30 million in equity. The debt matures in1 year and has a 10% interest rate, so the company is promising to pay back $77 million toits debtholders 1 year from now.The company is considering two possible investments, each of which will require an up-front cost of $100 million. Each investment will last for 1 year, and the payoff from each investment depends on the strength of the overall economy. There is a 50% chance that theeconomy will be weak and a 50% chance it will be strong.
Here are the expected payoffs (all dollars are in millions) from the two investments:
Note that the two projects have the same expected payoff, but Project H has higher risk. Thedebtholders always get paid first and the stockholders receive any money that is availableafter the debtholders have been paid.Assume that if the company doesn’t have enough funds to pay off its debtholders 1 yearfrom now, then Bedrock will declare bankruptcy. If bankruptcy is declared,…

The cost of equity capital is 15 percent, and the firm is financed entirely with equity. Management would like to repurchase $100 in shares by borrowing $100 at a 10 percent annual rate (assume that the debt will also be outstanding into the infinite future). Using Modigliani and Miller’s Proposition 1 answer the following questions.What is the value of the firm today?

A P1,500-bond which will mature in 10 years and with a bond rate of 15% payable annually is to be redeemed at par at the end of this period. If it is sold now for P1,390, determine the yield at this price. 4. A young mechanical engineer is considering establishing his own small company. An investment of P400,000 will be required, which will be recovered in 15 years. It is estimated that sales will be P800,000 per year and that operating expenses will be as follows: Materials P160,000 per year Labor P280,000 per year P40,000 + 10% of sales per year P60,000 per year Overhead Selling expense The man will give up his regular job paying P216,000 per year and devote full time to the operating of the business; this will result in decreasing labor cost by P40,000 per year, material cost by P28,000 per year and overhead cost by P32,000 per year.

- Mf1. Please help answer this: Company XYZ is planning to repurchase part of its stock by issuing corporate debt. The firm’s debt-equity ratio will rise from 40% to 50 %. Currently, the firm has 50,000 debt outstanding. The cost of debt is 20% per year. The firm expects to have an EBIT of 25,000 per year in perpetuity. The firm XYZ pays no taxes. (You might need to use Modigliani-Miller Propositions to answer some of the questions.) a) What is the market value of firm XYZ before and after the stock repurchase? b) What is the expected return on the firm’s equity (ROE) before the announcement of the stock repurchase plan? c) What is the expected return on the equity of an identical all-equity firm? d) What is the expected return on the firm’s equity after the announcement of the stock repurchase plan?arrow_forwardFinance Suppose that you are attempting to raise money for new business venture. Beginning one month from now the business will generate $10,843 of free-cash-flow each month in perpetuity. Say Mark Cuban offers you $148,481 today to help you make the initial investment, but requires that you sell him 34% of the business. Assuming your firm is all equity financed, what monthly WACC corresponds to Mark’s valuation? Enter your answer as a percent (e.g., enter 0.055 as 5.5). Round your final answer to two decimals.arrow_forwardA firm will earn a taxable net return of $500 million next year. If it took on debt today, it would have to pay creditors\varepsilon(rDebt) = 5% + 10% x wDebt2. Thus, if the firm has 100% debt, the financial markets would demand 15% expected rate of return. Further, assume that the financial markets will lend the firm capital at this overall net cost of 15%, regardless of how the firm is financed. The firm is in the 25% marginal tax bracket. 1. If the firmis fully equity-financed, what is its value? 2. Using APV, if the firm is financed with equal amounts of debt and equity today, what is its value? 3. Using WACC, if the firm is financed with equal amounts of debt and equity today, what is its value? 4. Does this firm have an optimal capital structure? If so, what is its APV and WACC?arrow_forward
