An unlevered firm has expected earnings of $2,401 and a market value of equity of $19,600. The firm is planning to issue $4,000 of debt at 6 percent interest and use the proceeds to repurchase shares at their current market value. Ignore taxes. What will be the cost of equity after the repurchase?
Problem 2: Leni Robredo was hired as an investment analyst for XYZ Corporation.
The latter asked the former to assess the viability of the investment of XYZ Corp. XYZ
Corporation expects to hold the investment for one year only and sett it at the end of the
holding period.
Upon checking, Leni discovered that XYZ corp. will pay P4.68 in dividends per share,
while the selling price at the end of the holding period can reach to P187.69 per share. The
estimated cost of equity capital is 6.08%. Currently, the stock of XYZ corp. trades at P174.62.
Compute for the intrinsic value of the stock after one period.
Leverage and the Cost of Capital. The common stock and debt of Northern Sludge are valuedat $70 million and $30 million, respectively. Investors currently require a 16% return onthe common stock and an 8% return on the debt. If Northern Sludge issues an additional$10 million of common stock and uses this money to retire debt, what happens to the expectedreturn on the stock?
