- What makes for a good investment? Use the approximate yield formula or a financial calculator to rank the following investments according to their expected returns. Buy a stock for $30 a share, hold it for three years, and then sell it for $60 a share (the stock pays annual dividends of $2 a share). Buy a security for $40, hold it for two years, and then sell it for $100 (current income on this security is zero). Buy a one-year, 5 percent note for $1,000 (assume that the note has a $1,000 par value and that it will be held to maturity).Hager’s Home Repair Company, a regional hardware chain, which specializes in “do-it-yourself” materials and equipment rentals, is considering an acquisition of Lyon Lighting (LL). Doug Zona, Hager’s treasurer and your boss, has been asked to place a value on the target and he has enlisted your help. LL has 20 million shares of stock trading at $12 per share. Security analysts estimate LL’s beta to be 1.25. The risk-free rate is 5.5% and the market risk premium is 4%. LL’s capital structure is 20% financed with debt at an 8% interest rate; any additional debt due to the acquisition also will have an 8% rate. LL has a 25% federal-plus-state tax rate, which will not change due to the acquisition. The following data incorporate expected synergies and required levels of total net operating capital for LL should Hager’s complete the acquisition. The forecasted interest expense includes the combined interest on LL’s existing debt and on new debt. After 2024, all items are expected to grow at a constant 6% rate. Note: aDebt is added on the first day of the year, so the 2019 debt is LL’s debt prior to the acquisition. Hager’s management is new to the merger game, so Zona has been asked to answer some basic questions about mergers as well as to perform the merger analysis. To structure the task, Zona has developed the following questions, which you must answer and then defend to Hager’s board: What are the steps in valuing a merger using the compressed APV approach?Hager’s Home Repair Company, a regional hardware chain, which specializes in “do-it-yourself” materials and equipment rentals, is considering an acquisition of Lyon Lighting (LL).

What method is appropriate? Use the projections and other data to determine the LL division’s free cash flows and interest tax savings for 2020 through 2024. Notice that the LL division’s sales are expected to grow rapidly during the first years before leveling off at a sustainable long-term growth rate.

You have $5,000 of your own to invest. You borrow an additional $5,000 from your broker and invest $10,000 in the stock. How far does the stock price have to fall for you to get a margin call if the maintenance margin requirement is 35%?You think that the stock of Fleetwood Corp is likely to rise within the next six months from its current price ($19.00 bid and $20.00 ask), and you want to maximize the amount of profit from your investment. So, you will use a margin account to borrow on margin in order to buy as many shares as you can. Your initial margin requirement is 45%, and you have $90,000 of your own money to invest in the shares. The minimum (maintenance) margin is 30%, and Fleetwood does not pay dividends. (Ignore interest for this problem.) If you buy Fleetwood on margin with the maximum margin loan, what is the maximum number of shares you can buy? Suppose you bought the maximum number of shares of Fleetwood as in (1). Assume that immediately after your purchase, Fleetwood’s share price drops to $18.00 per share. Calculate your new margin. Will you receive a margin call? How far can the price drop before you will receive a margin call? If the stock price falls to $14.00, you calculate that you would…
- You want to purchase IBM stock at $130 from your broker using as little of your own money as possible. If initial margin is 50% and you have $19, 600to invest, how many shares can you buy?Suppose you buy 700 shares of XYZ currently trading at $63 per share with a loan from your broker. Your initial margin requirement is 50%. The maintenance margin is 30%. Suppose the price suddenly (and instantaneously) jumps down to $42 per share, triggering a margin call. As a result of the margin call, you are required to get your margin back up to 50%, by selling off shares to pay down your margin loan (you could use cash, but you do not want to throw good money after bad). How many shares to you need to sell (using the proceeds to pay down your margin loan) to get your margin back up to 50%? Assume that you can sell shares at $42 per share and assume the interest rate on your margin loan is 0%. Ignore taxes and transaction costs.
