Hasting Corporation is interested in acquiring Vandell Corporation. Vandell has 1.5 million shares outstanding and a target capital structure consisting of 30% debt; its beta is 1.4 (given its target capital structure). Vandell has $10.19 million in debt that trades at par and pays an 8% interest rate. Vandell’s current free cash flow (FCF0) is $2 million per year and is expected to grow at a constant rate of 5% a year. Vandell pays a 25% combined federal-plus-state tax rate, the same rate paid by Hastings. The risk-free rate of interest is 5%, and the market risk premium is 6%. Hasting’s first step is to estimate the current intrinsic value of Vandell. What is Vandell’s cost of equity? What is its weighted average cost of capital? What is Vandell’s intrinsic value of operations? (Hint: Use the free cash flow corporate valuation model from Chapter 7.) Based on this analysis, what is the minimum stock price that Vandell’s shareholders should accept?

You hold a 25% common stock interest in YouOwnIt, a family-owned construction equipment company. Your sister, who is the manager, has proposed an expansion of plant facilities at an expected cost of 26,000,000. Two alternative plans have been suggested as methods of financing the expansion. Each plan is briefly described as follows: Plan 1.Issue 26,000,000 of 20-year, 8% notes at face amount Plan 2.Issue an additional 550,000 shares of 10 par common stock at 20 per share, and 15,000,000 of 20-year, 8% notes at face amount The balance sheet as of the end of the previous fiscal year is as follows: Net income has remained relatively constant over the past several years. The expansion program is expected to increase yearly income before bond interest and income tax from 2,667,000 in the previous year to 5,000,000 for this year. Your sister has asked you, as the company treasurer, to prepare an analysis of each financing plan. 1. Prepare a table indicating the expected earnings per share on the common stock under each plan. Assume an income tax rate of 40%. Round to the nearest cent. 2. a. Discuss the factors that should be considered in evaluating the two plans. b. Which plan offers greater benefit to the present stockholders? Give reasons for your opinion.

The after-tax cost of preferred stock financing is estimated tobe 14 percent.Required:Compute the marginal cost of capital schedule for Colbyco, and determine the breakpoints in the schedule.
IMB has 1 million outstanding shares, currently trading at $10 each, and it is all-equity financed. Current earnings are $2 million, which also provide the company’s current cash holdings. At the next board meeting, the directors will be discussing whether to implement a new investment project, not yet known to the public. The project costs $1 million and it will generate expected earnings of $.5 million a year, in perpetuity starting one year from now. The appropriate discount rate for the project is 10%. If the project is not undertaken, the firm will pay a dividend of $2 a share. If the project is implemented, the firm must decide how to finance it. The board is considering two options: i) to finance the investment project by retaining earnings and paying only $1 dividend per share; ii) to keep the dividend at $2 per share, and to finance the project by issuing new equity. Shares are issued ex-dividend. Capital markets are perfect (no taxes).

Hastings Corporation is interested in acquiring Vandell Corporation. Vandell has 1 million shares outstanding and a target capital structure consisting of 30% debt. Vandell's debt interest rate is 7.3%. Assume that the risk-free rate of interest is 4% and the market risk premium is 6%. Both Vandell and Hastings face a 30% tax rate. Hastings estimates that if it acquires Vandell, interest payments will be $1,500,000 per year for 3 years after which the current target capital structure of 30% debt will be maintained. Interest in the fourth year will be $1.459 million after which interest and the tax shield will grow at 5%. Synergies will cause the free cash flows to be $2.4 million, $3.0 million, $3.3 million, and then $3.72 million in Years 1 through 4, respectively, after which the free cash flows will grow at a 5% rate.
