If company chooses to buy the equipment,
Debt ratio = Total debt / total assets = 500/900 = 0.5556 = 55.56%
If company leases,
Debt ratio = 400/800 = 0.5, meaning debt ratio would not change
Whether or not the company chooses to lease or to buy, the risk would stay the same. They
would still owe the same amount of money, just owing them to different companies.

20 year Bond without warrants and 8% annual coupon was issued at par value = $1000
20 year Bond with warrants and 6% annual coupon was issued at par value = $1000 = Value of
pure Bond + Value of warrants
Second issue:
1,000 = Bond + Warrants.
at 8 percent
N = 20
I=kd=8
PMT = 6% x 1000 = 60.
FV = 1000
PV = $803.64.
Value of warrants = S1,000 - $803.64 = S196.36.

PV of ownership @ 9%:
By using a financial calculator, input the cash flows in the cash flow register; input the
interest rate, I/YR = 9 and press the NPV key to obtain the PV cost of owing the
machinery. The answer comes out to be -$991,845.

PV of leasing @ 9%:
By using a financial calculator, input the cash flows in the cash flow register; input the
interest rate, I/YR = 9 and press the NPV key to obtain the PV cost of owing the
machinery. The answer comes out to be -$954,639.
Cost comparison:
Morris-Meyer should lease the equipment since leasing has a $37,206 net advantage over
buying.
B. The rate at which the cash flows are discounted is a crucial consideration. We know that
the higher the discount rate used to calculate the present value of a cash flow, the riskier
it is. The majority of the rates are fixed, at least when compared to the sorts of cash flow
estimations utilized in capital budgeting analysis, such as lease, loan, and maintenance
payments, which are determined by contracts, and depreciation expenditure and tax rates,
which are set by law and unlikely to change. The predicted salvage value of $250,000 is
the least certain of the cash flows, however even this estimate is based on previous
experience. If the lease plan is employed, we presume Morris-Meyer will buy the
equipment at the conclusion of the four years; so, the $250,000 is an additional cost under
leasing. Because the residual value uncertainty increases the unpredictability of
operations under the lease alternative, it seems appropriate to apply a lower rate to
penalize the lease selection.

A. Investors may believe the premium over the purchase price should be in the 20-30%
range, and since management predicts a future growth rate of 10% per year, we can place
the premium near the middle of the range, at 25%.
A 25% premium results in =
Conversion price = $21 x 1.25 = $26.25
B. Yes, a call provision should be included in the preferred stock to force conversion if the
market price climbs above the call price.
