- D6) Suppose there are perfect capital markets with taxes. Investors expect a company to have $120 earnings before interest and taxes in one year. This company has a 25% tax rate, $100 market value of debt, and 20 shares outstanding. This company’s net working capital, depreciation expense, and capital expenditures are all expected to be zero in perpetuity. Investors expect this company to have the same earnings before interest and taxes, market value of debt, tax rate, and number of shares outstanding in perpetuity. The firm’s unlevered cost of equity is 8% and its cost of debt is 5%. Based on this information, what amount would you expect this company’s share price to be closest to? $5 $20 $40 $80 $100 $200 $400arrow_forwardP7–15 Common stock value: All growth models You are evaluating the potential purchaseof a small business currently generating $42,500 of after-tax cash flow(D0 = $42,500). On the basis of a review of similar-risk investment opportunities,you must earn an 18% rate of return on the proposed purchase. Because you are relatively uncertain about future cash flows, you decide to estimate the firm’s value using several possible assumptions about the growth rate of cash flows.a. What is the firm’s value if cash flows are expected to grow at an annual rate of0% from now to infinity?b. What is the firm’s value if cash flows are expected to grow at a constant annualrate of 7% from now to infinity?c. What is the firm’s value if cash flows are expected to grow at an annual rate of12% for the first 2 years, followed by a constant annual rate of 7% from year 3to infinity?arrow_forwardShare repurchase proposal: Currently, the firm has available capital (cash and net income) of approximately $7,000,000. There is a large block of stock available at $35 a share. For the sake of this exercise let us disregard tax implications and effects. If the firm decides to spend this amount of excess cash on a share repurchase program, how many shares will be repurchased?? What are the benefits of repurchasing shares? How will this affect the capital structure of the company? How can this be interpreted in the marketplace? Suppose the market price of the shares is $35.75 a share. Why do you think the seller of the large block would agree to see at $35 a share? Suppose the assumptions of MM are true, then what would happen to the market price of shares once the purchase of the large block at $35 a share is completed? Would it rise above $35.75, remain unchanged or fall? Would a dividend be better? Please discuss the pros and cons of dividends and share buybacks. Make a…arrow_forward
