Problem 12-5
Answer:
Calculation a. Total value before $ 700,000
Total value after $ 595,000 One share $ 119
Formula Calculation b. Discount rate = r 140=20/(r-.05) 0.192857143
Year 1 Repurchase at r $167
Shares repurchased 299
Dividend payout $10/share price $140.00
House of Haddock has 5,000 shares outstanding and the stock price is $140. The company is expected to pay a dividend of $20 per share next year and thereafter, the dividend is expected to grow indefinitely by 5% a year. The president, George Mullet, now makes a surprise announcement: He says that the company will henceforth distribute half the cash in the form of dividends and the remainder will be used to repurchase stock.
a. What is the total value of the company before and after the announcement? What is the value of one share?
b. What is the expected stream of dividends per share for an investor who plans to retain his shares rather than sell them back to the company? Check your estimate of share value by discounting this stream of dividends per share.
Problem 12-6
Here are key financial data for House of Herring, Inc.:
Earnings per share for 2015 $5.50 million Number of shares outstanding 40 million
Target payout ratio 50%
Planned dividend per share $2.75 Stock price, y/e 2015 $130
Answers:
Calculation
a. Stock price $127.25
b. Stock price $130.00
Shares repurchased 84615450%*$5.50*40mill = $110 mill
c. Ex-dividend price $124.50
Shares needed 883534$40mill*$2.75=$110 mill House of Herring plans to pay the entire dividend early in January 2016. All corporate and personal taxes were repealed in 2014.
a. Other things equal, what will be House of Herring’s stock price after the planned dividend payout?
b. Suppose the company cancels the dividend and announces that it will use the money saved to repurchase shares. What happens to the stock price on the announcement date? Assume that investors learn nothing about the company’s prospects from the announcement. How many shares will the company need to repurchase?
c. Suppose the company increases dividends to $5.50 per share and then issues new shares to recoup the extra cash paid out as dividends. What happens to the ex-dividend share prices? How many shares will need to be issued? Again, assume investors learn nothing from the announcement about House of Herring’s prospects.
Problem 13-3 Answer: Step 1: Equity 60000000 Debt 20000000 Re 16% Rd 8% Step 2: Calculation
Expected return on assets (rA) 0.13
New return on equity (rE) 0.147
The common stock and debt of Northern Sludge are valued at $50 million and $30 million, respectively. Investors currently require a 16% return on the 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 expected return on the stock? Assume that the change in capital structure does not affect the risk of the debt and that there are no taxes.
Answers: Step 1:
Operating income 2,000
Market value of shares 5,000 Expected return on debt 12.5
Number of Shares 500
Price per share 10
Market value of shares- new debt
Market value of debt 5000
Formula Calculation
a. rA
rA=expected operating income/market value of all
securities C rD T C Calculation b. βA F βE C βD C
Look back to Section 13–1 (p. 329). Suppose that Ms. Macbeth’s investment bankers have informed her that since the new issue of debt is risky, debt holders will demand a return of 12.5%, which is 2.5% above the risk-free interest rate.
a. What are rA and rE?
b. Suppose that the beta of the unlevered stock was .6. What will A, E, and D be after the change to the capital structure?
TIP: see formulas on p. 331
TIP: calculate E/V and D/V first
