Stephenson
Real
Estate
Recapitalization
Stephenson
Real
Estate
Company
was
founded
25
years
ago
by
the
current
CEO,
Robert
Stephenson.
The
company
purchases
real
estate,
induding
land
and
buildings,
and
rents
the
property
to
tenants.
The
company
has
shown
a
profit
every
year
for
the
past
18
years,
and
the
shareholders
are
satisfied
with
the
company’s
management.
Prior
to
founding
Stephenson
Real
Esiate,
Robert
was
the
founder
and
CEO
of
a
failed
alpaca
farming
operation.
The
resulting
bankruptcy
made
him
exiremely
averse
to
debt
financing.
As
a
result,
the
company
is
entirely
equity
financed,
with
8.7
milion
shares
of
common
stock
outstanding.
The
stock
currently
trades
at
$346.50
per
share.
Stephenson
is
evaluating
a
plan
to
purchase
a
huge
tract
of
land
in
the
southeastern
United
States
for
$65
milion.
The
land
wil
subsequantly
be
leased
to
tenant
farmers.
This
purchase
is
expecied
to
increase
Stephenson’s
annual
pretax
eamings
by
314
milion
in
perpetuity.
Kim
Weyand,
the
company's
new
CFO,
has
been
put
in
charge
of
the
project.
Kim
has
determined
that
the
comparny's
current
cost
of
capital
is
12.5
percent.
She
feels
that
the
compary
would
be
more
valuable
if
it
included
debt
in
#ts
capital
structure,
so
she
is
evaluating
whether
the
company
should
issue
debt
to
entirely
finance
the
project.
Based
on
some
conversations
with
investment
banks,
she
thinks
that
the
company
can issue
bonds
at
par
value
with
a
coupon
rate
of
8
percent.
From
her
analysis,
she
also
believes
that
a
capital
structure
in
the
range
of
70
percent
equity/30
percent
debt
would
be
optimal.
If
the
company
goes
beyond
30
percent
debt,
its
bonds
would
carry
a
lower
rating
and
a
much
higher
coupon
because
the
possibiity
of
financial
distress
and
the
associated
costs
would
rise
sharply.

Current Attempt in Progress
Blossom LLC, a leveraged-buyout specialist, recently bought a company and wants to determine the optimal time to sell it. The
partner in charge of this investment has estimated the after-tax cash flows from a sale at different times to be as follows: $200.000
if sold one year later; $300,000 if sold two years later; $400,000 if sold three years later; and $500,000 if sold four years later. The
opportunity cost of capital is 10.0 percent. Calculate the NPV of each choices. (Do not round factor values. Round answers to the
nearest whole dollar, eg. 5,275.)

Question 4.4
Celebration Greeting Cards Incorporated is starting a new business venture and are in the process of evaluating its product lines. Information for one new product, traditional parchment grade cards, is as follows:
Sixteen times each year, a new card design will be put into production. Each new design will require $600 in setup costs.
The parchment grade card product line incurred $75,000 in development costs and is expected to be produced over the next four years.
Direct costs of producing the designs average $0.50 each.
Indirect manufacturing costs are estimated at $50,000 per year.
Customer service expenses average $0.10 per card.
Current sales are expected to be 2,500 units of each card design. Each card sells for $3.50.
Sales units equal production units each year.

Question 4
You are Chief Financial Officer of the ABC Corporation. ABC has two divisions, one of which distributes alcohol, while the other manufactures bottles for brewers and beverage companies. The company is considering a capacity expansion project in the alcohol distribution division, and the Board of Directors has asked you to provide a financial analysis of the project.
• The project would require an initial investment of $100 million for a new distribution center. In addition, $20 million in additional working capital would need to be committed to the project. The working capital will be recovered at the end of the project life.
• The distribution center facilities would be depreciated on a straight-line basis over five years. At the end of five years, you estimate that the center will be sold for $20 million.
• The distribution center is expected to generate cash revenues of $85 million per year and cash operating costs of $50 million per year in each of the next five…

Problem 12-15 (Algorithmic)
Strassel Investors buys real estate, develops it, and resells it for a profit. A new property is available, and Bud Strassel, the president and owner of Strassel Investors, believes if he purchases and
develops this property it can then be sold for $165000. The current property owner has asked for bids and stated that the property will be sold for the highest bid in excess of $100000. Two
competitors will be submitting bids for the property. Strassel does not know what the competitors will bid, but he assumes for planning purposes that the amount bid by each competitor will be
uniformly distributed between $100000 and $150000.
a. Develop a worksheet that can be used to simulate the bids made by the two competitors. Strassel is considering a bid of $130000 for the property. Using a simulation of 1000 trials, what is the
estimate of the probability Strassel will be able to obtain the property using a bid of $130000? Round your answer to 1 decimal place. Enter…

Solve the Dilemma
LO 15-7 Recommend the most appropriate financial institution for a hypothetical small business.
Seeing the Financial Side of Business
Dr. Stephen Hill, a successful optometrist in Indianapolis, Indiana, has tinkered with various inventions for years. Having finally
developed what he believes is his first saleable product (a truly scratch-resistant and lightweight lens), Hill has decided to invest
his life savings and open Hill Optometrics to manufacture and market his invention.
Page 504
Unfortunately, despite possessing true genius in many areas, Hill is uncertain about the "finance side" of business and the various
functions of different types of financial institutions in the economy. He is, however, fully aware that he will need financial services such as checking and
savings accounts, various short-term investments that can easily and quickly be converted to cash as needs dictate, and sources of borrowing capacity

Question 1
The GFA Company, originally established 16 years ago to make footballs, is now a leading producer of tennis balls, baseballs, footballs, and golf balls. Nine years ago, the company introduced “High Flite,” its first line of high-performance golf balls. GFA management has sought opportunities in whatever businesses seem to have some potential for cash flow. Recently Mr Dawadawa, vice president of the GFA Company, identified another segment of the sports ball market that looked promising and that he felt was not adequately served by larger manufacturers.
As a result, the GFA Company investigated the marketing potential of brightly coloured bowling balls. GFA sent a questionnaire to consumers in three markets: Accra, Kumasi, and Koforidua. The results of the three questionnaires were much better than expected and supported the conclusion that the brightly coloured bowling balls could achieve a 10 to 15 percent share of the market. Of course, some people at GFA complained about…

Homework 11
Assume you have just been hired as a business manager of Arnie’s Artichokes a regional health food restaurant chain. The company’s EBIT was $80 million last year and is not expected to grow. The firm is currently financed with all equity and it has 10 million shares outstanding. When you took your corporate finance course, your instructor stated that most firm’s owners would be financially better off if the firms used some debt. When you suggested this to your new boss, he encouraged you to pursue the idea. As a first step, assume that you obtained from the firm’s investment banker the following estimated costs of debt for the firm at different capital structures:
