Chapter 16, Problem 22QP
Homemade Leverage The Veblen Company and the Knight Company are identical in every respect except that Veblen is not levered. The market value of Knight Company’s 6 percent bonds is $l.4 million. Financial information for the two firms appears here. All earnings streams are perpetuities. Neither firm pays taxes. Both firms distribute all earnings available to common stockholders immediately.
| Veblen | Knight | |
| Projected operating income | $ 580,000 | $ 580,000 |
| Year-end interest on debt | 84,000 | |
| Market value of stock | $ 4,500,000 | 3,450 000 |
| Market value of debt | 1,400,000 |
- a. An investor who can borrow at 6 percent per year wishes to purchase 5 percent of Knight’s equity can he increase his dollar return by purchasing 5 percent of Veblen’s equity if he borrows so that the initial net costs of the two strategies are the same?
- b. Given the two investment strategies in (a), which will investors choose? When will this process cease?

- In-Class Example : MM Proposition I without Corporate Taxes Alpha Corporation and Beta Corporation are identical in every way except their capital structures. Alpha Corporation, an all-equity firm, has 18,000 shares of stock outstanding, currently worth $35 per share. Beta Corporation uses leverage in its capital structure. The market value of Beta’s debt is $85,000, and its cost of debt is 9 percent. Each firm is expected to have earnings before interest and tax of $93,000 in perpetuity. Neither firm pays taxes.
