Benchmark Metrics Inc. (BMI), an all-equity financed firm, reported EPS of $5.74 in 2008. Despite the economic downturn, BMI is confident regarding its current investment opportunities. But due to the financial crisis,
BMI does not wish to fund these investments externally. The Board has therefore decided to suspend its stock repurchase plan and cut its dividend to $1.21 per share (vs. almost $2 per share in 2007), and retain these
funds instead. The firm has just paid the 2008 dividend, and BMI plans to keep its dividend at $1.21 per share in 2009 as well. In subsequent years, it expects its growth opportunities to slow, and it will still be able to
fund its growth internally with a target 42% dividend payout ratio, and reinitiating its stock repurchase plan for a total payout rate of 59%. (All dividends and repurchases occur at the end of each year.)
Suppose BMI's existing operations will continue to generate the current level of earnings per share in the future. Assume further that…
Little Lemon Co. is identifying the value of its equity using the enterprise value approach as they have never issued dividends to-date because the Company is still at its early stages. With this, they have the following available information:
The government's real free rate for its debt securities is estimated at 3.5% with an estimated inflation premium of 1.5%.
The target capital structure of Little Lemon is at 60% debt and 40% equity
Little Lemon was able to determine that its cost of debt is estimated as:
With 3 years maturity - 6.50%
With 4 years maturity - 7.0%
With 5 years maturity - 8.0%
The following are the information about the current debts issued by Little Lemon
A 3-year maturity instrument carries a Php500,000 face value and 8.0% coupon
A 5-year maturity instrument carries a Php500,000 face value and 8.0% coupon
Considering the current crisis, equity investors generally demand a 3.5% premium over government securities
Little Lemon's estimated beta is at 1.2

- David Lyons, CEO of Lyons Solar Technologies, is concerned about his firms level of debt financing. The company uses short-term debt to finance its temporary working capital needs, but it does not use any permanent (long-term) debt. Other solar technology companies have debt, and Mr. Lyons wonders why they use debt and what its effects are on stock prices. To gain some insights into the matter, he poses the following questions to you, his recently hired assistant: e. Suppose the expected free cash flow for Year 1 is 250,000 but it is expected to grow faster than 7% during the next 3 years: FCF2 = 290,000 and FCF3 = 320,000, after which it will grow at a constant rate of 7%. The expected interest expense at Year 1 is 128,000, but it is expected to grow over the next couple of years before the capital structure becomes constant: Interest expense at Year 2 will be 152,000, at Year 3 it will be 192,000 and it will grow at 7% thereafter. What is the estimated horizon unlevered value of operations (i.e., the value at Year 3 immediately after the FCF at Year 3)? What is the current unlevered value of operations? What is the horizon value of the tax shield at Year 3? What is the current value of the tax shield? What is the current total value? The tax rate and unlevered cost of equity remain at 25% and 14%, respectively.arrow_forwardLittle Lemon Co. is identifying the value of its equity using the enterprise value approach as they have never issued dividends to-date because the Company is still at its early stages.
