Chapter #7

E7.1 A balance sheet balances assets with their sources of debt and equity
financing. If a corporation has assets equal to $5.2 million and a debt ratio of
75.0%, how much debt does the corporation have on its books?
Debt ratio 75% = 0.75
Total assets = $5,200,000.00
Total liabilities = 0.75 (5, 200,000)
Total liabilities = 3,900,000.00
E7.2 Angina, Inc., has 5 million shares outstanding. The company is considering
issuing an additional 1 million shares. After selling these shares at their offering
price of $20 per share and realizing 95% of the proceeds from the sale, the
company is obligated by a prior contract to sell an additional 250,000 shares at
90% of the offering price. In total, how much cash will the company have from the
sale of these shares?

1 ) The equation would be


Total cash = 1,000,000x (20)x(0.95) + 250,000x(20)x(0.90)
Total cash = $23,500,000 -----------> Answer
======================================…
2) Since the company's shares are cumulative, the company must pay its preferred
shareholders 2.5x4 = $10 per share ($7.5 of late dividends in payment plus $2.5 of
the current dividend).
Before paying your common shareholders you must pay your preferred
shareholders 10x750,000 = $7,500,000
Since the company has $12,000,000 to distribute to its shareholders, its common
shareholders will receive the difference i.e. $12,000,000 - $7,500,000 = $4,500,000
Therefore, since there are 3,000,000 common shares, the amount of the dividend
per common share will be
$4,500,000/3,000,000 = $1.5 per share
ANSWER: The amount of dividend per common share that may be paid will be
$1.5 per share.
E7.3 Figúrate Industries has 750,000 cumulative preferred shares outstanding. The
company has not paid the last three quarterly dividends of $2.50 per share and
now (at the end of the current quarter) wants to distribute a total of $12 million to its
shareholders. If Figúrate has 3 million common shares outstanding, what will be
the amount of dividend per common share that it can pay?
$12000000
3000000
The amount of the dividend per share to be distributed is 43.
E7.4 Today Gresham Technology common stock closed at $24.60 per share,
$0.35 less than yesterday. If the company has 4.6 million shares outstanding and
annual earnings of $11.2 million, what is its P/E ratio today? What was your P/E
ratio yesterday?
11.200.000 = 2,43
4.600.000
Today P/E ratio (24.60 x 2.43) = $59.78
Yesterday P/E ratio (24.25 x 2.43) = $58.93
E7.5 Stacker Weight Loss currently pays an annual year-end dividend of $1.20 per
share. It plans to increase this dividend by 5% next year and keep it at that level for
the foreseeable future. If the required return on this company's stock is 8%, what is
the value of Stacker's stock?

E7.6 Brash Corporation initiated a new corporate strategy that indefinitely sets its
annual dividend at $2.25 per share. If the risk-free rate is 4.5% and the risk
premium for Brash stock is 10.8%, what is the value of Brash stock?
Kg = Rf + (bx (km-Rf))

Kg = 4.5+ (1.8x (10.5-4.5))


Kg= 15.3%

The required return is 15.3% of the shares

Chapter #8
P8-1 Rate of Return Douglas Keel, a financial analyst at Orange Industries, wants
to calculate the rate of return on two investments of similar risk, X and Y. Douglas'
research indicates that immediate past returns will serve as reasonable estimates
of future returns. A year earlier, investment X had a market value of $20,000;
Investment Y had a market value of $55,000. During the year, investment X
generated cash flow of $1,500, while investment Y generated cash flow of $6,800.
The current market values of investments X and Y are $21,000 and $55,000
respectively.
a) Calculate the expected rate of return on investments X and Y using the most
recent year's data.
b) If we consider that the two investments have the same risk, which one should
Douglas recommend? Because?
P8-2 Return Calculations For each of the investments presented in the following
table, calculate the rate of return earned during the period, which is not specified.
P8-3 Risk Preferences Sharon Smith, the financial manager of Barnett
Corporation, wants to evaluate three possible investments: X, Y, and Z. Sharon will
evaluate each of these investments to determine if they are better than the
investments the company already has, which have an expected return of 12% and
a standard deviation of 6%. The expected returns and standard deviations of the
investments are as follows:

a) If Sharon were risk neutral, what investment would she choose? Because?
b) If she were risk averse, what investment would she choose? Because?
c) If she were a risk seeker, what investment would she choose? Because?
d) Considering the traditional risk behavior shown by financial managers, which
investment would be preferable? Because?

a) If Sharon were risk neutral, what investment would she choose? Because?
A risk-neutral investor would choose investment X because it only considers the
highest return regardless of its implied risk.
b) If she were risk averse, what investment would she choose? Because?
A risk-averse investor would choose investment X, because its standard deviation
is lower, therefore lower risk.
c) If she were a risk seeker, what investment would she choose? Because?
A risk-preferring investor would choose investment Z because they prefer higher
risk even if its return is low relative to the other investments.
d) Considering the traditional risk behavior shown by financial managers,
which investment would be preferable? Because?
The manager will choose the lowest risk investment X because most people are
risk averse.
P8.4 Risk Analysis Solar Designs plans to make an investment in expanding a
product line. You are considering two possible types of expansion. After
investigating the likely results, the company performed the calculations shown in
the following table.

a) Determine the range of rates of return for each of the two projects.
b) Which of the projects is least risky? Because?
c) If you were to make the investment decision, which of the two would you
choose? Because? What does this mean for your sensitivity to risk?
d) Assume that the most probable outcome of expansion B is 21% per year and
that all other facts remain unchanged. Does this modify your answer to part c) ?
Because?

a) Determine the range of rates of return for each of the two projects.
Interval is the highest annual rate of return minus the lowest rate of return.
Investment A - Interval = 24% - 16% = 8%
Investment B - Interval = 30% - 10% = 10%
b) Which of the projects is least risky? Because?
Project A is less risky, compared to Project B, because the interval is smaller and
this means that its degree of variation will be lower.
c) If you were to make the investment decision, which of the two would you
choose? Because? What does this mean for your sensitivity to risk?
The initial investment is $12,000 for A and B, the decision will depend on my
attitude towards risk, in my case I will choose investment A because in a more
probable scenario I will have a return of 20%, the same as investment b, but in the
different pessimistic and optimistic scenario.
d) Assume that the most probable outcome of expansion B is 21% per year and
that all other facts remain unchanged. Does this modify your answer to part c)?
Because?
I would not change my criteria. I am a risk-averse investor, therefore I stand by my
decision.

P8.5 Risk and Probability Micro-Pub, Inc., is considering the purchase of one of
two microfilm cameras, R and S. Both must provide service for a period of 10 years
and each requires an initial investment of $4,000. Management has prepared the
following table of estimates of rates of return and probabilities of pessimistic, most
likely, and optimistic outcomes.
a ) Determine the interval of the rate of return of each of the two chambers.
b ) Determine the expected performance value of each camera.
c ) Which purchase is the riskiest? Because?

a) Determine the range of the rate of return for each of the two chambers.
Chamber R = 10% (30%-20%)
Chamber S = 20% (35% -15%)

b ) Determine the expected performance value of each camera .


c) Which purchase is the riskiest? Because?

You must calculate the standard deviation, I did it in Excel.

According to the data, camera S is the riskiest as shown by the coefficient of


Variation 0.2623, which is greater than camera R 0.1414. The coefficient of
variation is high which means that the investment has a greater volatility in relation
to its expected return. Also, it could be deduced from the standard deviation.

E8.1 An analyst predicted last year that Logistics, Inc. stock would deliver a total
return of at least 10% next year. At the beginning of the year, the company had a
stock market value of $10 million. At the end of the year it had a market value of
$12 million, although it experienced a loss or negative net income of $2.5 million.
Was the analyst's prediction correct? Explain using total annual return values.
Solution
Total return at least 10% next year .

Kt = -2.5 + 12 – 10 / 10 = -5.00%

With the data given, it can be ensured that the analyst's prediction was erroneous
because the calculated total return is -5%, that is, the shares of Logistics, Inc.
experienced a loss in one year.

E8.2 Four analysts carry out the valuation of Fluorine Chemical shares. One
predicts a 5% return for next year. The second expects a negative return of 5%.
The third predicts a 10% return. The fourth expects a 3% return for next year. You
are confident that the return will be positive, but not high, and you arbitrarily assign
probabilities of 35, 5, 20, and 40%, respectively, that the analysts' forecasts are
correct. Considering these probabilities, what is Fluorine Chemical's expected
performance for the next year?
Solution

The expected return for next year is 6.6%, considering forecasts and probabilities.
E8.3 The expected annual returns are 15% for investment 1 and 12% for
investment 2. The standard deviation of the return for the first investment is 10%;
The return on the second investment has a standard deviation of 5%.
Solution
Which investment is least risky taking into account only the standard deviation?
Investment 2 is the one with the least risk because it reflects less dispersion
around its expected return.
Which investment is least risky based on the coefficient of variation?
Investment 2 is the least risky because the return is lower compared to investment
1, therefore, the risk is lower and in turn the coefficient of variation indicates the
relative dispersion measure of an investment.
Which is a better measure considering that the expected returns of the two
investments are not equal?
The best measure is the coefficient of variation because it is useful for comparing
the risks of assets with different expected returns. The standard deviation is not
useful for comparing two investments with different returns but it is useful for
comparing equal returns.
E8.4 Your portfolio has three asset classes. U.S. Treasury bills make up 45% of
the portfolio, large company stocks make up another 40%, and small company
stocks make up the remaining 15%. If the expected returns are 3.8% for Treasury
bills, 12.3% for large company stocks, and 17.4% for small company stocks.

Solution

The proportion of each asset does not represent probabilities, keep in mind.

What is the expected return of the portfolio?


The expected return of the portfolio is 9.24%
E8.5 You want to calculate the risk level of your portfolio based on its beta
coefficient. The five stocks in the portfolio, with their respective proportions and
beta coefficients, are indicated in the following table. Calculate the beta coefficient
of your portfolio.

Portfolio beta coefficient, formula:

E8.6 a) Calculate the required rate of return of an asset that has a beta coefficient
of 1.8, considering a risk-free rate of 5% and a market return of 10%. b) If investors
have increased their risk aversion due to recent political events, and the market
return has increased to 13%, what is the required rate of return for the same
asset?
c) Use the results you obtained in part a) to graph the initial stock market line
(SML), and then use the results you obtained in part b) to graph (on the same
axes) the change in the SML .

a) Expected return on the Asset = 5% + 1.8*(10%-5%) = 14%


If you change the market return from 10% to 13%, then Expected return is now
19.40%(b)
c) graph.

E9.1 A company raises capital by selling $20,000 of debt, with flotation costs equal
to 2% of its par value. If the debt matures in 10 years and has a coupon rate of 8%,
what is the RAV of the bond?

We calculate the discount rate that equates the present value of the outputs
with the initial input.
E9.2 Your company, People's Consulting Group, was asked to advise on a Brave
New World preferred stock offering. This preferred stock issue with a 15% annual
dividend would sell at its par value of $35 per share. Flotation costs would reach $3
per share. Calculate the cost of these preferred shares.

E9.4 Weekend Warriors, Inc., has a capital structure consisting of 35% debt and
65% equity. The company's estimated after-tax cost of debt is 8% and its estimated
cost of equity capital is 13%. Determine the weighted average cost of capital
(WACC) of the company.

Calculation of the Weighted Average Cost of Capital:

Source of % Source Cost of CPPC


Financing Financing

Suppliers 35% 8% 2.8

Equity 65% 13% 8.45

TOTAL 100 11.25

Steps to calculate the CPPC:

1.- The Weighted Average Cost of each source is calculated, multiplying the
Financing Cost by the % that the source represents. Example: Suppliers 8 * 35% =
2.8

2.- The Weighted Average Costs of each financing source are added: 2.8 + 8.45 =
11.25.

Weighted Average Capital Cost of the project: 2.8 + 8.45 = 11.25

E9.5 Oxy Corporation uses debt, preferred stock, and common stock to raise
capital. The company's capital structure targets the following proportions: debt,
55%; preferred stock, 10%; and common shares, 35%. If the cost of debt is 6.7%,
the cost of preferred stock is 9.2%, and the cost of common stock is 10.6%, what is
Oxy's weighted average cost of capital (WACC)?

P6.1 Yield Curve A company that wants to evaluate the behavior of interest rates
collected yield data on five U.S. Treasury securities, each with a different maturity
and all measured on the same date. The summarized data is as follows.

a ) Draw the yield curve related to these data.

b ) Describe the yield curve resulting from part a ) and explain the general
expectations contained in it.

Nominal rates

Real interest rate = (K)

K1=k+Ip+Rp

The real interest rate decreases from January remained stable from March to
August and finally increased in December force that was responsible for a change
in the real rate include changing economic conditions such as international trade.

performance curve
The yield curve is slightly sloped downward which reflects lower interest rates
expected in the future. The curve may reflect general expectation for an economic
recovery due to upcoming inflation.

P6-2 Term Structure of Interest Rates Yield data for several top-quality corporate
bonds were recorded at each of the three indicated times.

a) On the same series of axles, draw the performance curve for each of the three
times indicated.

b) Identify each curve in part a) with its general shape (downward slope, upward
slope, or flat curve).

c) Describe the general expectation of the existing interest rate in each of the three
times.
d) Examine data from 5 years ago. According to expectations theory, what
approximate return would investors expect a 5-year bond to pay today?

Yield Curve of High Quality Bonds Comparative

The yield curve will be 5 years full of relatively, extremely descending financial
costs, which indicates that in the short term over time they are higher than the
long-term rates, the yield curve precedes the short-term financing costs. than long-
term financing costs.

P6.3 Risk-free rate and risk premiums The real interest rate is currently 3%; The
inflation expectation and risk premiums of various securities are as follows.

a) Calculate the risk-free interest rate, RF, applicable to each security.

P6.5 Valuation Fundamentals Imagine you are trying to evaluate the financial
aspects of purchasing a car. You expect the car to provide annual after-tax cash
income of $1,200 at the end of each year, and assume that you can sell the car for
after-tax income of $5,000 at the end of the planned 5-year ownership period. All
funds for the car purchase will come from your savings, which currently earn 6%
after taxes.

a) Identify the cash flows, the timing of their occurrence, and the required return
applicable to the valuation of the automobile.

b) What is the maximum price you would be willing to pay to purchase the car?

Explain your answer.

Fund flow CF=$1200

Cf Cf 2 Cf 3 Cf 4 Cf 5
Vo= + + + +
(1+k ) (1+ k )2 (1+k )3 ( 1+ k ) 4 (1+k )5

Vo= + + + +
(1+0 , 06) (1+ 0 ,06)2 (1+0 , 06)3 (1+0 , 06)4 (1+ 0 ,06)5

Vo=5054.83%

The maximum price you should be willing to pay for the car is $5054. If you pay
more than that amount you would be working out less than 16% profitability.
