- 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_forwardSuppose there is a large probability that L will default on its debt. For the purpose of this example, assume that the value of Ls operations is 4 million (the value of its debt plus equity).

Its current value of operations, which is also its value of debt plus equity, is estimated to be $200 million. Higgs has $110 million face value, zero coupon debt that is due in 3 years. The risk-free rate is 5%, and the standard deviation of returns for similar companies is 60%. The owners of Higgs Bassoon view their equity investment as an option and would like to know the value of their investment. Using the Black-Scholes Option Pricing Model, how much is the equity worth? How much is the debt worth today? What is its yield? How much would the equity value and the yield on the debt change if Fethe's management were able to use risk management techniques to reduce its volatility to 45 percent?
