第五次作业答案1.a) In an M&M frictionless environment, where there are no taxes and contracts are costless to make and enforce, the wealth of the shareholders is the same no matter what capital structure the firm adopts. In such an environment, neither the stock price nor shareholders wealth would be affected. In the real world Dividos management might be able to create shareholder value by issuing debt and repurchasing shares in two ways:- By reducing corporate taxes- By reducing the free cash flow available to management and exposing itself to greater market discipline.b) The formula for EPS without debt isIf we assume the interest rate is 6% (conclusions will not change if you assume different interest rates), then the interest payments will be $1.2 million per year () regardless the realised value of EBIT. The number of shares outstanding after exchanging debt for equity will be 800,000. EPS with debt is therefore The probability distribution of Dividos EBIT and EPS is as follows:State of EconomyEBIT(million)All Equity FinancingWith $20 million DebtEPS(1 million shares)Net Earnings(million)EPS(800, 000 shares)Bad$4$4$2.8$3.5Fair$12$12$10.8$13.5Good$20$20$18.8$23.5Mean$12$13.5Standard Deviation$6.53$8.16Although the shares of stock become riskier with debt financing, the expected earnings per share go up. In a frictionless financial environment, the net effect is to leave the price of stock unchanged.2.a) The unlevered free cash flow for the Tango Shoes Division would be (in millions):Sales:$10Variable Costs$5.5Depreciation:$1Profit before Tax:$3.5Taxes (40%)$1.4After-tax Profit:$2.1Depreciation:$1Investment:$1Free Cash Flow:$2.1 millionIf unlevered, Tango is worth: millionb) If Tango issued $5 million debt, its total value would be:Tango equity: $10.125 millionc) The weighted average cost of capital (WACC) is given by (Bodie and Merton, p436) And (Alternatively, you can use equation 16.1 of Bodie and Merton, p435)d) The expected net income is: millionThe value of equity: million3.a) Current price per share: b) Amount to borrow: 40% of $13.125 million = $5.25 millionPV of tax shield: millionValue of levered firm: 13.125 + 2.1 = $12.225 millionValue of equity: 15.225 - 5.25 = $9.975 millionThe number of shares repurchased: millionc) Foxtrons management must trade off the tax saving due to additional debt financing against the costs of financial distress that rise with the degree of debt financing.4The valuation process involves four steps:Step 1: Calculating the present value of unlevered cash flows for 1989-93.The unlevered cash flows for 1989-93 are shown in the last line of Table 1.TABLE 1.

The value as of the end of 1988 of the unlevered cash flows expected from 1989 through 1993 is Step 2: Calculating the present value of the unlevered cash flows beyond 1993(i.e. unlevered terminal value) .With the indications given in Table 4.3, its easy to calculate the value, as of the end of 1993, which is: This translates to a 1988 value of Therefore, the total unlevered value of the firm is ($12.224+$12.333=) $24.557 billion.To calculate the total buyout value, we must add the interest tax shields expected to be realized by debt financing.Step 3: Calculating the present value of interest tax shields for 1989-93.Its easy to calculate interest tax shields for 1989-93 according to Table 4.2:TABLE 2. Tax Shields for 1989-93 (in $millions)19891990199119921993Interest expenses$3,384$3,004$3,111$3,294$3,483Interest tax shields(TC=34%)1,1511,0211,0581,1201,184The discounted value of these tax shields is : Step 4: Calculating the present value of interest tax shields beyond 1993.Finally, we must calculate the value of tax shields associated with debt used to finance the operations of the company after 1993. Since its assumed that debt will be maintained at 25 percent of the value of the firm after 1993, it is appropriate to use the WACC method to calculate a terminal value for the firm at the target capital structure. This in turn can be decomposed into an all-equity value and a value from tax shields.First, we can calculate its WACC, which is:. Second, use it to calculate the levered terminal value as of the end of 1993: Since the levered value of the company is the sum of the unlevered value plus the value of interest tax shields, it is the case that Value of tax shields (end 1993) = VL(end 1993) VU(end 1993) = $26.654 billion - $23.746 billion = $2.908 billionThen, we again discount by the borrowing rate of 13.5 percent to get The total value of interest tax shields therefore equals ($3.877+$1.544)=$5.421 billion.Adding all of these components together, the total value of RJR under the buyout proposal is 24.557+5.241=$29.978 billion. Deducting the $5 billion market value of assumed debt yields a value for equity of $24.978 billion, or $109.07 per share.The above process are concluded in Table 3:TABLE 3 RJR LBO Valuation (in $millions except share data)19891990199119921993Unlevered cash flow (UCF)$5,404$4,311$2,173$2,336$2,536Terminal value:(3% growth after 1993) Unlevered terminal value (UTV)23,746 Terminal value at target debt26,654 Tax shield in terminal value2,908Interest tax shields1,1511,0211,0581,1201,184PV of UCF 1989-93 at 14%12,224PV of UTV at 14%12,333Total unlevered value$24,557PV of tax shields 1989-93 at 13.5%3,877PV of tax shields in TV at 13.5%1,544Total value of tax shields5,421 Total value29,978 Less value of assumed debt5,000Value of equity$24,978Number of shares229 millionValue per share$109.07Concluding Comments on LBO Valuation Methods The WACC method is by far the most widely applied approach to capital budgeting. One could analyze an LBO and generate the results of the second section of this appendix using this technique, but it would be a much more difficult process. We have tried to show that the APV approach is the preferred way to analyze a transaction in which the capital structure is not stable over time.Consider the WACC approach to valuing the KKR bid for RJR. One could discount the operating cash flows of RJR by a set of weighted average costs of capital and arrive at the same $30 billion total value for the company. To do this, one would need to calculate the appropriate rate for each year since the WACC rises as the buyout procee
