Chp. 9 Mini Case During the last few years, Harry Davis Industries has been too constrained by the high cost of capital to make many capital investments. Recently, though, capital costs have been declining, and the company has decided to look seriously at a major expansion program that had been proposed by the marketing department. Assume that you are an assistant to Leigh Jones, the financial vice president. Your first task is to estimate Harry Davis’s cost of capital. Jones has provided you with the following data, which she believes may be relevant to your task. 1. The firm’s tax rate is 40% 2. The current price of Harry Davis’s 12% coupon, semiannual payment, noncallable bonds with 15 years remaining to maturity is $1,153.72. Harry Davis does not use short term % bearing debt on a permanent basis. New bonds would be privately placed with no flotation cost. 3. The current price of the firm’s 10%, $100 par value, quarterly dividend, perpetual preferred stock is $113.10. Harry Davis would incur flotation costs of $2.00 per share on a new issue. 4. Harry Davis’s common stock is currently selling at $50 per share. Its last dividend (D0) was $4.19, and dividends are expected to grow at a constant rate of 5% in the foreseeable future. Harry Davis’s beta is 1.2, the yield on T-bonds is 7%, and the market risk premium is estimated to be 6%. For the bond yield plus risk premium approach, the firm uses a 4% point risk premium. 5. Harry Davis’s target capital structure is 30% long term debt, 10% preferred stock, and 60% common equity. To structure the task somewhat, Jones has asked you to answer the following questions. a. 1. What sources of capital should be included when you estimate Harry Davis’s weighted average cost of capital (WACC)? Long term: long term debt, preferred stock, common stock Short term: non-interest bearing liabilities, interest bearing debt 2. Should the component costs be figured on a before tax or an after tax basis? After tax basis 3. Should the costs be historical (embedded) costs or new (marginal) costs? Marginal costs b. What is the market % rate on Harry Davis’s debt... ... middle of paper ... ...getting the stock are extending money but charging a higher percentage. This extra percentage would not be charged if earnings were reinvested which is internal. o. 1. Harry Davis estimates that if it issues new common stock, the flotation cost will be 15%. Harry Davis incorporates the flotation costs into the DCF approach. What is the estimated cost of newly issued common stock, taking into account the flotation cost? 4.19 (1.05) + 5% 4.40 + 5% = 15.4% 50 (1- 0.15) 42.50 2. Suppose Harry Davis issues 30 year debt with a par value of $1,000 and a coupon rate of 10%, paid annually. If flotation costs are 2%, what is the after tax cost of debt for the new bond issue? N= 30 PV= 980 PMT= -60 FV=-1000 =6.1476% after tax cost of debt p. What four common mistakes in estimating the WACC should Harry Davis avoid? Do not use coupon rate on firm’s existing debt as pre tax cost of debt Do not subtract current long term t bond rate from historical avg. when estimating risk premium for CAPM approach. Use target capital structure for WACC Capital components are only funding that come from investors.
John Mortimer controls Watson & Musico Developments and is well known for his abrasive style and aggressive approach in business dealings. His firm is rumoured to have a highly restricted cash flow because of its aggressive leasing policy. Because of the depressed real estate market, Mortimer is refinancing all of its properties to reduce its debt service requirements and to generate cash. Since, the amount that could be borrowed from the bank is positively correlated with the appraised value, Mortimer would like his property to be valued as high as possible. Therefore, he would want Richard to value his property at his requested value of $35 million.
Therefore, the additional compensation cost $3 per share should be recognized in the 2017 by
Yes, flotations should be part of the calculation of debt cost. This is because Flotation costs are typically included in the component of debt calculation as a part of calculating the nominal rate of the debt’ cost, which cover both underwriting spread and the costs paid by the issuing company.
The stock price is currently 103.31, down from a recent high of 121.50. The P/E ratio is declining at 28 and beta at .67, which is expected to grow closer to 1.0. A recent earnings surprise last December yielded a 15% difference from the lower expectations and the latest earnings reports late last month also surprised investors. Estimates for the 2000 fiscal year are being raised by a large majority of analyst who believe that earnings per share will increase and the stock price will reach close to 150.
In order to do this the WACC approach will be used based on the assumption that leverage will stay constant after 2012. Industry average of debt/value is 28.1 percent and debt/equity 71.9 percent. These figures will be used as an estimate for long-term leverage because it is expected that AirThread will maintain a leverage ratio that is constant with the industry. From this the relevered equity beta is found to be 0.9847 which will give an equity rate of return of 9.42 percent. The rate of return on debt will be 5.5 percent. This is the percentage of debt because it is the interest rate of the 10 year U.S. Treasury bond. The WACC is now found to be 7.80 percent. Next, the long-term growth rate of 2.9 percent will be assumed to stay constant. In order to determine the FCF 2013 FCF 2012 of $315.60 will be multiplied by the growth rate. This will give a FCF 2013 of $323.48. The FCF 2013 will then be divided by the WACC minus growth rate. By doing this the PV of terminal value is found to be approximately $4.6 billion. To see the calculations for this step refer to Exhibit 3 in the
First of all an analysis of the packaging machine investment’s hurdle rate is required. I will use comparable firm parameters approach to figure out the hurdle rate (WACC) of the firm using the information provided in Exhibit 5. The cost of debt should be calculated using the bond information given in footnote 2 of case under Exhibit 2. The cost of equity should be calculated using the Capital Asset Pricing Model.
Star Appliance is looking to expand their product line and is considering three different projects: dishwashers, garbage disposals, and trash compactors. We want to determine which project would be worth doing by determining if they will add value to Star. Thus, the project(s) that will add the most value to Star Appliance will be worth pursuing. The current hurdle rate of 10% should be re-evaluated by finding the weighted average cost of capital (WACC). Then by forecasting the cash flows of each project and discounting them by the WACC to find the net present value, or by solving for the internal rate of return, we should be able to see which projects Star should undertake.
Based on the information in the case, Pepsi could invest US$360 million in exchange for 30% equity of Deltex. So we have to calculate the value of 30% equity of Deltex. First, we calculated the discount factor by using average unlevered beta of US independent bottlers, US 10 year Treasury bond as risk free rate and assuming market risk premium 10%. We came up with 9.83% of WACC. Next, we calculated Deltex free cash flow and terminal value and then converted them into US dollar value. Now with WACC and total cash flow, we had NPV of the company. So we deducted current debt from NPV and came up with the value of US$360M investment equal to 59.99% of Deltex equity. So the proposal to buy 30% of Deltex with US$360M is too expensive to PepsiCo and not attractive to PepsiCo.
a. The cost of debt is the money company has to pay for using the funds. In our case, annual cost of debt is kd: kd/2 = r = 5.0%. kd/2 = (47.5 + [1000-891] / 30) / ((2*891 + 1000) / 3) = 5.5% We have to multiply t...
The sales director proposed that if the firm were to reduce the price of Item 345 to FF15.00/m, they would be able to increase sales to 175,000 units (or 25% of industry volume). But if they were to keep the price at the current value of FF20.00/m, they would be able to sell not less than 75,000 units (or 11% of industry volume).
In “Bank Debt” alternative, a sum of $3.5 million will be injected to the company through bank loans. However, the company will have to pay an additional amount of $33,750 in interest and a principal payment of $300,000 to the bank annually over the course of 7 years. Net income will come to $489,187.50 and EPS will be 0.49.
When discussing the cost of equity capital, or the rate of return required by investors for their share expenses, there are three main models widely used for analyzation. These models are the dividend growth model, which operates on the variable of growth and future trends, the capital asset pricing model (CAPM), which operates on the premise that higher returns are a result of higher risk, and the arbitrage pricing theory (APT), which has a more flexible set of criteria than CAPM and takes advantage of mispriced securities
...efit is shared by a larger group of equity investors. The company is still subject to similar level of risk compared to immediate repurchase based on credit rating determinants. Most importantly, initial abundant cash with promising investment projects will lead to even more lackluster non-core investment performance.
To begin the analysis on Krispy Kreme, the first analysis is that of the depreciation analysis. There are three different methods to calculate depreciation and they are straight-line, units-of-production and double-declining-balance (Larson, Wild, & Chiappetta, 2005). The Krispy Kreme Company uses the straight-line method to calculate their depreciation on building, machinery, equipment and leasehold improvements. The breakdown of the depreciation on property and equipment consist of land, buildings, machinery and equipment, leasehold improvements and construction in process (Larson, Wild, & Chiappetta, 2005). Krispy Kreme’s total gross property and equipment in 2002 was a total of $156,484,000 and in 2003, it was a total of $252,770,000. The accumulated depreciation for the year 2002 was a total of $43,907,000 and for the year 2003, the total was $50,212,000. To find the net property and equipment amount, taking the gross property and equipment and subtracting the accumulated depreciation is the equation used. The net property and equipment for the year 2002 would be $112,577,000 and 2003 would be $202,558,000. Once b...
