Morgan Stanly Case Study

We determine the amount of capital financing needed by taking line (10), after-tax net income and adding back line (16) depreciation, to determine actual capital needed given the forecast of capital expenditure. We made certain assumptions, such as, cash levels will be kept roughly in line with 1983 level of $542 million. In addition, we assumed that tax provisions were actually paid out each year, rather than accruing a liability or deferring taxes to future dates. According to our assumptions and using the forecast we have determined that MCI needs approximately $4.2 billion dollars in the next 4 years, from 1984 through 1987. After 1987 capital expenditure begins to taper off and growth in EBITDA increases to a point where it is enough to finance internally the planned capital expenditures. Over 75% of the capital requirements comes in the later 2 years, in 1986 and 1987.

Empirical evidence indicates that capital rationing is prevalent amongst firms. It was concluded that between 50 and 75% of firms operate under the capital constraint as found by Fremgen (1975) and Petty, Scott & Bird (1975). Further support for this notion was found

Small businesses are the backbone of national economy and play a leading role in innovations as well as in creating jobs. Small business has the intrinsic needs to growth. Obvious contributions of the growth of small businesses include the increased return on investment and job creation. The interesting and valuable question is how small business grows and are all small businesses growing? It is no surprise that the growth of business is a core topic both in organization theory and entrepreneurship, both are interested in the process and causes of business growth. Stages of growth models, which assume that business go through some distinct stages from birth to maturity, have been the most popular theoretical approach in academic to understand small business growth. Although the stages model of growth has been criticized for being too sequential and linear which is unrealistic and inconsistent with empirical evidence (e.g. Phelps et al., 2007; Levie and Lichtenstein 2010), various new stages models of business growth have been developed since the 1960s.

I hope you are doing well. Elizabeth Carr informed me that you worked for Ron Daniels after your first year of law school. I have an interview with him this Tuesday and I was hoping you could give me a little information about his law practice. I would greatly appreciate any advice.

Management’s discretion to set the firm’s capital structure is applicable at the firm level. Since any one particular project could be financed entirely with equity, another project could be financed with debt, and the firm’s overall capital structure would remain unchanged, financing costs are not relevant in the analysis of a project’s incremental cash flows according to the stand-alone principle.

Size is not the medicine when firms fail. For example, Fujian [2004], using a list of broken Japanese companies in 1997 ([Bouchaud, 2003]) has drawn the failure of some firms regardless of size. When business growth is supported by debt to risk exposed is superior because it threatens both the creditor losses as the lender. Size growth combined with rising debt can lead to colossal failures. It's like traveling with suicide pilots that guide aircraft dynamited. By taking unsustainable growth strategies with negative externalities, people end up paying higher costs.

A number of factors describe why smaller sized companies might also display greater exit levels while in crises. Smaller sized companies might be much more severely impacted by crises because of restricted monetary, technological as well as human sources and higher reliance on (fewer) clients, vendors as well as markets (Beck et al., 2005; Butler and Sullivan, 2005). On the other hand, smaller sized businesses might be much more versatile in adapting to downturns, becoming much more capable to take advantage of marketplace niches as well as activities seen as an agglomeration economies, instead of scale economic systems, and becoming much less dependent on formal loans in contrast to bigger companies and therefore much less inert as well as much less exposed to sunk expenses (Tan and See, 2004).

It goes contrary to the idea of firms having a unique combination of debt and equity finance, which minimize their cost of capital. The theory suggests that when a firm is looking for ways to finance its long-term investments, it has a well-defined order of preference with respect to the sources of finance it uses. It states that a firm’s first preference should be the utilization of internal funds (i.e. retain earnings), followed by debt and then external equity. He argues that the more profitable the firms become, the lesser they borrow because they would have sufficient internal finance to undertake their investment projects. He further argues that it is when the internal finance is inadequate that a firm should source for external finance and most preferably bank borrowings or corporate bonds. And after exhausting both internal and bank borrowing and corporate bonds, the final and least preferred source of finance is to issue new equity

According to Hall et al., (2000) and Schmid (2001) (as cited in Paul et al., 2007, p. 10), they found out that at the stage of development, businesses are informationally opaque which means the information is not transparent to public. At the same time, the start-up firm’s assets are often intangible and knowledge-based. So, if compared to the opportunities in the public companies, investors in the start-up work with less historic performance data on which investment judgements can be based. Again, the researches mentioned that the firms prefer internal to external finance when the external funds are necessary. It can be clearly understood that the firm prefer debt to equity finance. This hierarchy stems from information asymmetry between managers and investors with the results that, in attempting to raise external capital, investors will face an adverse selection problem and demand a premium that raises the required rate of return on external capital. At this point, the firms are definitely better off with the internally generated funds. The overall impact of information asymmetry is that external financing may carry a substantial investment premium (Jovanovic, 1982; Storey, 1994 as cited in Paul et al., 2007, p. 11). So, debt is preferable to equity finance due to the less risky
