Yerba Industries is an all-equity firm whose stock has a beta of 1.2 and an expected return of 12.5%. Suppose it issues new risk-free debt with a 5% yield and repurchases 40% of its stock. Assume perfect capital markets.
- a. What is the beta of Yerba stock after this transaction?
- b. What is the expected return of Yerba stock after this transaction? Suppose that prior to this transaction, Yerba expected earnings per share this coming year of $1.50, with a forward P/E ratio (that is, the share price divided by the expected earnings for the coming year) of 14.
- c. What is Yerba’s expected earnings per share after this transaction? Does this change benefit shareholders? Explain.
- d. What is Yerba’s forward P/E ratio after this transaction? Is this change in the P/E ratio reasonable? Explain.

- Liu Industries is a highly levered firm. Suppose there is a large probability that Liu will default on its debt. The value of Lius operations is 4 million. The firms debt consists of 1-year, zero coupon bonds with a face value of 2 million. Lius volatility, , is 0.60, and the risk-free rate rRF is 6%. Because Lius debt is risky, its equity is like a call option and can be valued with the Black-Scholes Option Pricing Model (OPM). (See Chapter 8 for details of the OPM.) (1) What are the values of Lius stock and debt? What is the yield on the debt? (2) What are the values of Lius stock and debt for volatilities of 0.40 and 0.80? What are yields on the debt? (3) What incentives might the manager of Liu have if she understands the relationship between equity value and volatility? What might debtholders do in response?arrow_forwardA stock is trading at $80 per share.
