The manager of a firm at t=0 has to decide whether to liquidate or to continue. If he decides to continue in t=1, the value
of the firm assets will be Va= €140 million assuming business recovers. Nevertheless, the most likely scenario ((1-p) =
85%) is that the company sales will continue declining. Then, company assets will be valued only at Vẞ = €78 million. At
what debt value, we see an inefficiency case because Managers' Aversion to Liquidation.
a.
$60 million
O b. None *
C.
$100 million
d.
$80 million
Your answer is incorrect.
The correct answer is:
$100 million
Your company doesn't face any taxes and has $768 million in assets, currently financed entirely with equity. Equity is worth $51.80 per share, and book value of equity is equal to market value of equity. Also, let's assume that the firm's expected values for EBIT depend upon which state of the economy occurs this year, with the possible values of EBIT and their associated probabilities as shown below: State Probability of state Expected EBIT in state Recession 0.10 $118 million Average Boom 0.75 0.15 $193 million $253 million The firm is considering switching to a 15 percent debt capital structure, and has determined that they would have to pay a 11 percent yield on perpetual debt in either event. What will be the standard deviation in EPS if they switch to the proposed capital structure
The Nelson Company has $1,248,000 in current assets and $480,000 in current liabilities. Its initial inventory level is $320,000, and it will raise funds as additional notes payable and use them to increase inventory. How much can Nelson's short-term debt (notes payable) increase without pushing its current ratio below 2.0? Do not round intermediate calculations. Round your answer to the nearest dollar.

What will be the firm's quick ratio after Nelson has raised the maximum amount of short-term funds? Do not round intermediate calculations. Round your answer to two decimal places.

- David Lyons, CEO of Lyons Solar Technologies, is concerned about his firms level of debt financing. The company uses short-term debt to finance its temporary working capital needs, but it does not use any permanent (long-term) debt. Other solar technology companies have debt, and Mr. Lyons wonders why they use debt and what its effects are on stock prices. To gain some insights into the matter, he poses the following questions to you, his recently hired assistant: e. Suppose the expected free cash flow for Year 1 is 250,000 but it is expected to grow faster than 7% during the next 3 years: FCF2 = 290,000 and FCF3 = 320,000, after which it will grow at a constant rate of 7%. The expected interest expense at Year 1 is 128,000, but it is expected to grow over the next couple of years before the capital structure becomes constant: Interest expense at Year 2 will be 152,000, at Year 3 it will be 192,000 and it will grow at 7% thereafter. What is the estimated horizon unlevered value of operations (i.e., the value at Year 3 immediately after the FCF at Year 3)? What is the current unlevered value of operations? What is the horizon value of the tax shield at Year 3? What is the current value of the tax shield? What is the current total value? The tax rate and unlevered cost of equity remain at 25% and 14%, respectively.arrow_forward(Liquidity analysis) Airspot Motors, Inc. has $2,172,500 in current assets and $869,000 in current liabilities.
