Give your thoughts on the prompts below
Firms use market capitalization when considering the market value added. We have seen that a number of things can affect capitalization values, so is this really the best method to use?
A well known company recently had a 20-1 stock split that drew a lot of attention...how does this affect their market value added?
Administrative errors can have a big impact in receivables turnover and payment delay ratios, so companies should include administrative and other indirect costs in the calculations of those ratios. Agree or Disagree and defend your answer.
You have been asked by your employers to demonstrate your knowledge in business valuation process, by analyzing the value of Best Group Savings and Loans Company (BGSLC). The company paid a dividend of GH¢ 250,000 this year. The current return to shareholders of companies in the same industry as BGSLC is 12%, although it is expected that an additional risk premium of 2% will be applicable to BGSLC, being a smaller and unquoted company. Compute the expected valuation of BGSLC, if:
The current level of dividend is expected to continue into the foreseeable future
The dividend is expected to grow at a rate 4% par into foreseeable future
The dividend is expected to grow at a 3% rate for three years and 2% afterwards

- David Lyons, CEO of Lyons Solar Technologies, is concerned about his firms level of debt financing. The company uses short-term debt to finance its temporary working capital needs, but it does not use any permanent (long-term) debt. Other solar technology companies have debt, and Mr. Lyons wonders why they use debt and what its effects are on stock prices. To gain some insights into the matter, he poses the following questions to you, his recently hired assistant: e. Suppose the expected free cash flow for Year 1 is 250,000 but it is expected to grow faster than 7% during the next 3 years: FCF2 = 290,000 and FCF3 = 320,000, after which it will grow at a constant rate of 7%. The expected interest expense at Year 1 is 128,000, but it is expected to grow over the next couple of years before the capital structure becomes constant: Interest expense at Year 2 will be 152,000, at Year 3 it will be 192,000 and it will grow at 7% thereafter. What is the estimated horizon unlevered value of operations (i.e., the value at Year 3 immediately after the FCF at Year 3)? What is the current unlevered value of operations? What is the horizon value of the tax shield at Year 3? What is the current value of the tax shield? What is the current total value? The tax rate and unlevered cost of equity remain at 25% and 14%, respectively.arrow_forwardMANAGING YOUR WRITING The business where you work is considering issuing bonds to finance a major expansion. Your boss has just come from a lengthy meeting regarding the bonds, including the interest rate the bonds should carry. This has irritated your boss, who feels that the interest rate to use is obviousthe lowest one possible. This would yield the lowest interest expense to borrow the money. It seems stupid to pay big fees to financial advisors and lawyers when the question is so simple. Write a report to your boss explaining how the issue price of the bonds (the net amount borrowed) is affected by the stated interest rate on the bonds. Include an explanation of how interest costs consist of more than just periodic interest payments.arrow_forwardYou begin a new job at Cabrera Medical Supplies. The company is considering a new accounting system, with an initial investment of about half a million dollars for new software and hardware. You are excited for the opportunity to apply your managerial accounting skills regarding screening and preference methods to decide on the best system for the company. Your boss is a little old-school, and when you mention some of the things you learned in managerial accounting, he says. Discounted cash flow methods are not the only way to approach this. I have more of a gut reaction approach that blows most managers out of the water when they become absorbed by discounted cash flow methods (DCF). How would you react and what would you discuss with your boss?arrow_forward
- You have been hired at the investment firm of Bowers & Noon. One of its clients doesn’t understand the value of diversification or why stocks with the biggest standard deviations don’t always have the highest expected returns. Your assignment is to address the client’s concerns by showing the client how to answer the following questions: What is the Capital Asset Pricing Model (CAPM)? What are the assumptions that underlie the model? What is the Security Market Line (SML)?arrow_forwardAnalysts and investors often use return on equity (ROE) to compare profitability of a company with other firms in the industry. ROE is considered a very important measure, and managers strive to make the company’s ROE numbers look good. A) If a firm takes steps that increase its expected future ROE, its stock price will increase. B) Based on your understanding of the uses and limitations of ROE, which of the following projects will a manager likely choose if his or her bonus is solely based on the ROE of the next project? Project Y, with 40% ROE and a small investment, generating low expected cash flows Project X, with 35% ROE and a large investment, generating high expected cash flows C) Suppose you are trying to decide whether to invest in a company that generates a high expected ROE, and you want to conduct further analysis on the company’s performance. If you wanted to conduct a comparative analysis for the current year, you would: Compare the…arrow_forwardInstructions: Assume the following data for two firms (U = unlevered firm) and (L = levered firm). Assume the two firms are in the same risk class when it comes to business risk. Both firms have EBIT = €1000 000. Firm U has zero debt and its required rate of return (KsU = 12%). Firm L has €2000 000 debt and pays 10% interest rate. Based on the data provided, answer the following questions and show all your computations and interpret your results. Find the value of unlevered (U) and levered (L) firms under zero corporate tax assumption. Find the market value of the firm’s L’s debt and equity. Do 1 and 2 under the assumption of corporate tax = 60%arrow_forward
- As a finance intern at Pork Products, Jennifer Wainwright’s assignment is to come up with fresh insights concerning the firm’s cost of capital. She decides that this would be a good opportunity to try out the new material on the APT that she learned last semester. She decides that three promising factors would be (a) the return on a broad-based index such as the S&P 500; (b) the level of interest rates, as represented by the yield to maturity on 10-year Treasury bonds; and (c) the price of hogs, which is particularly important to her firm. Her plan is to find the beta of Pork Products against each of these factors by using a multiple regression and to estimate the risk premium associated with each exposure factor. Comment on Jennifer’s choice of factors. Which are most promising with respect to the likely impact on her firm’s cost of capital? Can you suggest improvements to her specification?arrow_forwardJerry Allen graduated from the University of Arizona with a degree in Finance in 2011 and took a job with an investment banking firm as a financial analyst. One of his first assignment is to investigate the investor-expected rate of return for technology firms: Apple (APPL), Dell (DELL) and Hewlett Packard (HPQ). Jerry’s supervisor suggested that he make his estimates using CAPM where the risk-free rate is 4.5%. the expected return on the market is 10.5% 1. Calculate the risk premium of the market show all the working formula where applicable/ 2. Calculate the expected return using CAPM equation using a beta coefficient of 2.00 3. Solve the expected return for Apple using the beta from Yahoo and the beta from MSN and a risk-free rate of 4.5% and a market risk premium of 6% yield 4. Calculate the expected return with the CAPM equation using each of the following beta estimates for the three technology firms. Present the information in a tabulated formatarrow_forwardThe board of directors of Mystery Entertainment, Inc., wants the CEO to boost return on equity (ROE). During a recent interview, they announced their plan to improve the firm’s financial performance. They will raise the prices on all of the company’s products by 10%. They justify the plan by observing that ROE can be decomposed into the product of profit margin, asset turnover, and financial leverage. By raising prices, it is believed this will increase the profit margin and thus ROE. Is this reasonable? Explain your answer.arrow_forward
- Hello, having some trouble with my accounting homework. There are drop down boxes for question 2, and here are the options: Dropdown box #1: Both companies' debt-paying abilities are (medium, strong, weak). Dropdown box #2: From the standpoint of leverage (debt) (the companies are about equal, BestBuy is stronger, Modern is stronger). Dropdown box #3: (Modern has a stronger times-interest-earned ratio, The times-interest-earned ratios are about equal for both companies, Best Buy has a stronger times-interest-earned ratio).
