Summary Introduction

Case summary:

SP is a real estate firm that was established by the present CEO, RS, 25 years ago. The company had been profitable for the past 18 years. Before commencing the real estate business, RS was involved in a bankruptcy of a farming business. SP has a plan to buy a tract of land in U Country for $45 million.  This land will be leased to tenant farmers. The land purchase will raise the annual pre-tax earnings by $10 million in perpetuity.

KM, the new CFO, has been put in charge of the current project. KM has determined that the firm’s cost of capital is 10.5%. KM feels that the firm should issue debts to finance the project. Based on some planning, KM thinks that the company can issue bonds at par value with a coupon rate of 7%; she also believes that the firm’s capital structure in the range of 70% equity and 30% would be optimistic. The firm has to bear 40% corporate tax rate.

To determine: The net present value of the project.

Explanation of Solution

Calculate the net present value of the project:

After purchase, the company’s pre-tax earnings will raise by $10,000,000 per year in perpetuity. The tax rate is 40%.

Determine the earnings increase:

Earnings increase=Pre-tax earnings(1Tax rate)=$10,000,000(140%)=$6,000,000

Therefore, the earning increase is $6,000,000.

As SP is an all equity company, the suitable discount rate is the company’s unlevered rate of equity. So, the net present value of the purchase is:

Net present value (NPV):

  NPV=Land price+(Earnings increaseCost of capital)=$45,000,000+($6,000,0000.105)=$12,142,857

Therefore, the net present value is $12,142,857.

Explanation of Solution

After the announcement, the worth of SP’s business will raise by $12,142,857, the net present value of the purchase. According to the efficient-market hypothesis, the market value of the company’s equity will instantly increase to reflect the net present value of the project.

Calculate the equity value of the firm:

The total debt and equity value of the firm is $533,500,000 and the net present value of the firm is $12,142,857.

Equity value=Total equity valueNet present value=$533,500,000$12,142,857=$521,357,143

Therefore, the equity value f the firm is $521,357,143.

The balance sheet after the land purchase as follows:

Market value Balance Sheet
SP Real Estate Company
Assets   Liabilities
Particulars Amount   Particulars Amount
Old Assets $533,500,000   Equity $545,642,857
NPV $12,142,857      
Total assets $545,642,857   Debt and equity $545,642,857

As the market value of the company’s equity is $545,642,857and the company has 11,000,000 shares of common stock outstanding, SP’s stock price after the announcement will be as follows:

Calculate the new share price:

New share price=Total equity valueShares outstanding=$545,642,85711,000,000=$49.60

Therefore, the new share price value is $49.60.

As SP must raise $45,000,000 to finance the purchase and the company’s stock is worth $49.60 per share.

Calculate the number of shares to be issued:

Shares to issue=Capital valueStock price=$45,000,000$49.60=907,187

Therefore, SP should issue 907,187 shares.

SP will receive $45,000,000 in cash as the effect of equity issue. This will raise the company’s assets and assets by $45,000,000.

The new market value balance sheet after the stock issue will be as follows:

Market value Balance Sheet
SP Real Estate Company
Assets   Liabilities
Particulars Amount   Particulars Amount
Cash $45,000,000   Equity $590,642,857
Old Assets $533,500,000      
NPV $12,142,857      
Total assets $590,642,857   Debt and equity $590,642,857

The stock price will remain unchanged.

Calculate the total share outstanding:

The common stock value is 11million shares, and the shares to issue are 907,187.

Totak shares outstanding=Common stock value+Shares issued=11,000,000+907,187=11,907,187

Therefore, the total shares outstanding are 11,907,187.

Calculate the share price:

Share price=Equity valueTotal shares outstanding=$590,642,85711,907,187=$49.60

Therefore, the share price value is $49.60.

The old building is large enough to house the majority of operations, but they will need to rent a small storage building for raw materials. They have also decided that instead of purchasing the machinery necessary for production, they will rent the equipment on a monthly basis.
