Chapter 24, Problem 8QP
Equity as an Option [LO4] Buckeye Industries has abond issue with a face value of $1,000 that is coming due in one year. The value of Buckeye’s assets is currently $1,090. Urban Meyer, the CEO, believes that the assets in the firm will be worth either $920 or $1,380 in a year. The going rate on one-year T-bills is 4.8 percent.
a. What is the value of Buckeye’s equity? The value of the debt?
b. Suppose Buckeye can reconfigure its existing assets in such a way that the value in a year will be $800 or $1,600. If the current value of the assets is unchanged, will the stockholders favor such a move? Why or why not?

16. Consider a firm with a market value equal 100. The firm is financed with a zero- coupon bond with a face value of 100, maturing at the end of the year. At the end of the year the value of the firm can be either 130 or 80. The firm has 10 invested in one-year T-bills earning 10%. The firm has just discovered a new project. This project requires an investment of 10 and will be worth at the end of the year, either 8 (when the firm is otherwise worth 130) or 16 (when the firm is otherwise worth 80.) If this project is taken, what will happen to the value of the stock?

The S&P 500 is currently at 2888. The CBOE far-term VIX (^vif) is at 13.15, and the one-year LIBOR rate is 2.75%.
