- The Rivoli Company has no debt outstanding, and its financial position is given by the following data: What is Rivoli’s intrinsic value of operations (i.e., its unlevered value)? What is its intrinsic stock price? Its earnings per share? Rivoli is considering selling bonds and simultaneously repurchasing some of its stock. If it moves to a capital structure with 30% debt based on market values, its cost of equity, rs, will increase to 12% to reflect the increased risk. Bonds can be sold at a cost, rd, of 7%. Based on the new capital structure, what is the new weighted average cost of capital? What is the levered value of the firm? What is the amount of debt?

Suppose that in 2016, sales increase by 10% over 2015 sales. The firm currently has 100,000 shares outstanding. It expects to maintain its 2015 dividend payout ratio and believes that its assets should grow at the same rate as sales. The firm has no excess capacity. However, the firm would like to reduce its operating costs/sales ratio to 87.5% and increase its totalliabilities-to-assets ratio to 30%. (It believes its liabilities-to-assets ratio currently is too low relative to the industry average.) The firm will raise 30% of the 2016 forecasted interest-bearing debt as notes payable, and it will issue long-term bonds for the remainder. The firm forecasts that its before-tax cost of debt (which includes both short- and long-term deb) is 12.5%.
