1. What is the expected value of the company in one year, with and without expansion? Would the company's stockholders be better off with or without expansion? Why? The expected value is equal to the probability times the value (Ross et. al, 2011). In this case, we have three possible values, so the weighted average is .3*11m + .5*17m + .2*22.5m=16.3 million USD WITHOUT EXPANSION or; .3*13m + .5*24m + .2*28.5m=21.6 million USD WITH expansion. The difference between the two options expansion and no expansion is 5.3 million; expansion earns 5.3m. Therefore, if expansion costs only 4.5m, it would be beneficial to the stockholders. This calculation has been performenced considering a one year period. 2. What is the expected value of the company's debt in one year, with and without the expansion? The debt owed is 14m USD regardless of the activities of the company. 3. One year from now, how much value creation is expected from the expansion? How much value is expected for stockholders? Bondholders? The value created will be the difference between the expansion cost and the expansion benefits in USD, which amounts to 5.3-4.5=.8m; this is how much the shareholders will get. Bondholders should receive the value of the bonds, which is 14m irrespective of the value creation. 4. If the company announces that it is not expanding, what do you think will happen to the price of its bonds? What will happen to the price of the bonds if the company does expand? The bond is in

In the attached file, there are calculations of relevant cash flows and their different impacts on the expansion analysis. The capital expenditure of the first year comes out to be about $43,500 which is financed via a 6% loan with monthly payments. Amortization of $9,300 per year will be charged to depreciate the capital expenditure which yields a tax shield (20% tax) of $1,860 annually. The per month interest payment comes out to be $1,927.95 and the entire loan will be paid off in two years. As a result, the annual interest tax

2. Forecast the firm’s financial statements for 2002 and 2003. What will be the external financing requirements of the firm in those years? Can the firm repay its loan within a reasonable period? In order to forecast the financial statements of 2002 and 2003, the following assumptions need to be made. The growth of sales is 15%, same as 2001, which is estimated by managers. The rate of production costs and expenses per sales is constant to 50%. Administration and selling expenses is the average of last 4 years. The depreciation is $7.8 million per year, which is calculated by $54.6 million divided by 7 years. Tax rate is 24.5%, which is provided. The dividend is $2 million per year only when the company makes profits. Therefore, we assume that there will be no dividend in 2003. Gross PPE will be $27.3 million (54.6/2) per year. We also assume there is no more long term debt, because any funds need in the case are short term debt, it keeps at $18.2 million. According to the forecast, Star River needs external financing approximately $94 million and $107 million in 2002 and 2003, respectively. In order to analysis if the company can repay the debt, we need to know the interest coverage ratio, current ratio and D/E ratio. The interest coverage ratios through the forecast were 1.23 and 0.87 respectively, which is the danger signal to the managers, because in 2003, the profits even not
1. In the last five years the growth in sales for the company has been around 10% per annum, except for the 1997, the growth was 18.78%.

One of the assumptions of the management is that they assume no acquisitions will be made in 2007. If the management decides to acquire other companies in 2007 and if they decided not to repurchase stocks, they will be able to use the 230M cash or borrow debt to finance the acquisition. And this would have little impact on financial stability. If they decided to repurchase stocks, they won’t be able to finance the acquisition with cash account, and the only way left is by borrowing more debt. And this probably have minor to major impact on financial stability depending how much the company decide to borrow.
