Brandtly Industries invests a large sum of money in R&D; as a result, it retains and reinvests all of its earnings. In other words, Brandtly does not pay any dividends, and it has no plans to pay dividends in the near future. A major pension fund is interested in purchasing Brandtly's stock. The pension fund manager has estimated Brandtly's free cash flows for the next 4 years as follows: $3 million, $7 million, $11 million, and $16 million. After the fourth year, free cash flow is projected to grow at a constant 5%. Brandtly's WACC is 10%, the market value of its debt and preferred stock totals $48 million; the firm has $15 million in non-operating assets; and it has 22 million shares of common stock outstanding.
What is the firm's total market value today? Do not round intermediate calculations. Round your answer to the nearest dollar. Write out your answers completely. For example, 13 million should be entered as 13,000,000.

He states that he owns several shares of stock in a corporation. He has examined the most recent balance sheet of the corporation and has found that the common stock issued and outstanding totals 40,000 shares, and the market price per share is 25 on the balance sheet date. He is sure that the balance sheet must be in error because, in his words, the total assets are 1,100,000 and this current value should be the same as the 1,000,000 total value of the outstanding common stock. Required: Explain to your friend how the values of the various assets of the corporation typically are measured and reported on its balance sheet, and how the value of the 1,100,000 total assets is determined.

- The Case:Hassan Mustafa has recently started his new job as a financial manager in a firm called ScanSoft. ScanSoft is developing a new process to manufacture optical disks. The development costs were higher than expected, so ScanSoft requires an immediate cash inflow of $5,200,000. To raise the required capital, the company decided to issue bonds. Since ScanSoft had no expertise in issuing and selling bonds, Hassan suggested that the company work with an investment dealer. The investment dealer bought the company's entire bond issue at a discount, and then planned to sell the bonds to the public at face value or the current market value. To ensure it would raise the $5,200,000 it required, ScanSoft plans to issue 5200 bonds with a face value of $1000 each, on January 20, 2021. Interest is paid semi-annually on July 20 and January 20, beginning July 20, 2021. The bonds pay interest at 5.5% compounded semi- annually.Hassan Mustafa realized that when the bonds mature on January 20, 2041,…arrow_forward(EPS, Antidilution) Brad Dolan, a stockholder of Rhode Corporation, has asked you, the firm’s accountant, to explain why his stock warrants were not included in diluted EPS.

These clients often purchase shares in closely held investment funds with very limited numbers of stockholders. In the fall of 2008, the market for certain types of securities based on real estate loans simply collapsed as the subprime mortgage scandal unfolded. Solace's firm, however, sees this market collapse as an opportunity to put together a fund that purchases some of these mortgage-backed securities, which investors have shunned, at bargain prices and holding them until the underlying mortgages are repaid or the market for these securities recovers. The investment company has begun putting together sales information concerning the new fund and has made the following predictions regarding its possible performance over the coming year as a function of how well the economy does: State of the Economy Probability Fund Return Rapid Expansion 10%…arrow_forward
