c. i.
Explanation of Solution
Determine the value of dividends
Therefore the value of dividends is $115,000

Determine the value of new shareholder in one year
The new shareholders value is raised only if the company sell the new equity in order to maintain the all-equity financing.
Therefore the value of new shareholder in one year is $33,600
Determine the value of old shareholder in one year
As a result of new shareholder value, the value of old shareholder will fall.
Therefore the value of old shareholder in one year is $1,691,400
Determine the current value of firm
Therefore the current value of firm is $1,625,178.57
The Reasons on low dividends depressing the stock prices is as follows:
- As indicated by Modigliani and Miller, the facts cannot prove that the lesser dividend is depressing the cost.
- According to the dividend policy it is considered as inappropriate, the dividend level ought not make any differences.
- Any resources not circulated as dividends add to the estimation of the firm, consequently the price of stock.
- These managers simply need to change the period of dividends.
- The estimation of the firm is unaltered by their proposition. Hence, the price of share will be remain same.
- Therefore the value of firm is similar from part a, hence the change in dividend will have no impact.

- Dividend Payout The Wei Corporation expects next year’s net income to be $15 million. The firm is currently financed with 40% debt. Wei has $12 million of profitable investment opportunities, and it wishes to maintain its existing debt ratio. According to the residual distribution model (assuming all payments are in the form of dividends), how large should Wei’s dividend payout ratio be next year?arrow_forwardCapital Structure Analysis Pettit Printing Company has a total market value of 100 million, consisting of 1 million shares selling for 50 per share and 50 million of 10% perpetual bonds now selling at par. The companys EBIT is 13.24 million, and its tax rate is 15%. Pettit can change its capital structure by either increasing its debt to 70% (based on market values) or decreasing it to 30%. If it decides to increase its use of leverage, it must call its old bonds and issue new ones with a 12% coupon. If it decides to decrease its leverage, it will call its old bonds and replace them with new 8% coupon bonds. The company will sell or repurchase stock at the new equilibrium price to complete the capital structure change. The firm pays out all earnings as dividends; hence, its stock is a zero-growth stock. Its current cost of equity, rs, is 14%. If it increases leverage, rs will be 16%. If it decreases leverage, rs will be 13%. What is the firms WACC and total corporate value under each capital structure?arrow_forwardHasting Corporation is interested in acquiring Vandell Corporation. Vandell has 1 million shares outstanding and a target capital structure consisting of 30% debt; its beta is 1.4 (given its target capital structure). Vandell has $10.82 million in debt that trades at par and pays an 8% interest rate. Vandell’s free cash flow (FCFJ is $2 million per year and is expected to grow at a constant rate of 5% a year. Vandell pays a 40% combined federal and state tax rate. The risk-free rate of interest is 5%, and the market risk premium is 6%. Hasting’s First step is to estimate the current intrinsic value of Vandell. What are Vandell’s cost of equity and weighted average cost of capital? What is Vandell’s intrinsic value of operations? [Hint: Use the free cash flow corporate valuation model from Chapter 8.) What is the current intrinsic value of Vandell’s stock?arrow_forward
- Bayani Bakerys most recent FCF was 48 million; the FCF is expected to grow at a constant rate of 6%. The firms WACC is 12%, and it has 15 million shares of common stock outstanding.

During the year, the company plans to raise and invest $30 million in new projects. The firm’s present market value capital structure, shown here, is considered to be optimal. There is no short-term debt. New bonds will have an 8% coupon rate, and they will be sold at par. Common stock is currently selling at $30 a share. The stockholders’ required rate of return is estimated to be 12%, consisting of a dividend yield of 4% and an expected constant growth rate of 8%. (The next expected dividend is $1.20, so the dividend yield is $1.20/$30 = 4%.) The marginal tax rate is 40%. In order to maintain the present capital structure, how much of the new investment must be financed by common equity? Assuming there is sufficient cash flow for Tysseland to maintain its target capital structure without issuing additional shares of equity, what is its WACC? Suppose now that there is not enough internal cash flow and the firm must issue new shares of stock. Qualitatively speaking, what will happen to the WACC? No numbers are required to answer this question.arrow_forward
