Chapter 16, Problem 23PS
Repurchases and the DCF model Hors d’Age Cheeseworks has been paying a regular cash dividend of $4 per share each year for over a decade. The company is paying out all its earnings as dividends and is not expected to grow. There are 100,000 shares outstanding selling for $80 per share. The company has sufficient cash on hand to pay the next annual dividend.
Suppose that, starting in year 1, Hors d’Age decides to cut its cash dividend to zero and announces that it will repurchase shares instead.
- a. What is the immediate stock price reaction? Ignore taxes, and assume that the repurchase program conveys no information about operating profitability or business risk.
- b. How many shares will Hors d’Age purchase?
- c. Project and compare future stock prices for the old and new policies. Do this for years 1, 2, and 3.

Tolo Co. plans the following repurchases: $10.4 million in one year, nothing in two years, and $19.2 million in three years. After that, it will stop repurchasing and will issue dividends totaling $25.7 million in four years. The total paid in dividends is expected to increase by 2.9% per year thereafter. If Tolo has 2.3 million shares outstanding and an equity cost of capital of 10.7%, what is its price per share today?
Heavy Metal Corporation is expected to generate the following free cash flows over the next five years:
Year 1 2 3 4 5
FCF ($ million) 51.1 69.2 78.8 76.4 80.1
After that, the free cash flows are expected to grow at the industry average of 3.9% per year. Using the discounted free cash flow model and a weighted average cost of capital of 13.5%:
Estimate the enterprise value of Heavy Metal. (Round to two decimalplaces.)
If Heavy Metal has no excess cash, debt of $285 million, and 43 million shares outstanding, estimate its share price. (Round to two decimalplaces.)
Merton Analytics is considering changes in its working capital policies to improve its cash flow cycle. Merton’s sales last year were $4,250,000 (all on credit), and its net profit margin was 7%. Its inventory turnover was 7.5 times during the year, and its DSO was 41 days. Its annual cost of goods sold was $2,200,000. The firm had fixed assets totaling $585,000. Merton’s payables deferral period is 42 days.
Calculate Merton’s cash conversion cycle.
Assuming Merton holds negligible amounts of cash and marketable securities, calculate its total assets turnover and ROA.
Suppose Merton’s managers believe the annual inventory turnover can be raised to 9.5 times without affecting sales. What would Merton’s cash conversion cycle, total assets turnover, and ROA have been if the inventory turnover had been 9.5 for the year?
