##### Credit default

Suppose Apic Bank  lends 1 million to Ken and 5 million to Kiptoo. The probability of default in the first year for Ken is 0.2 and for Kiptoo is 0.3. The probability of joint default (both Ken and Kiptoo default) in 1 year is 0.1. The loss given default (LGD) is 40% for Ken and 60% for Kiptoo. What is the expected loss of default in 1 year for the Apic Bank?

over the next year assuming 40% recovery rate for both assets.

##### Cost of capital

Based on his own analysis, Tom is recommending that the company increase its use of equity financing because, “debt costs 12.5 percent, but equity only costs 10 percent; thus equity is cheaper.” Ignoring all the other issues, what do you think about the conclusion that the cost of equity is less than the cost of debt?

In: Finance

Suppose Tom O’Bedlam, president of Bedlam Products, Inc., has hired you to determine the firm’s cost of debt and cost of equity capital. The stock currently sells for $50 per share, and the dividend per share will probably be about$5. Tom argues, “It will cost us $5 per share to use the stockholders’ money this year, so the cost of equity is equal to 10 percent (5$5/$50).” What’s wrong with this conclusion?

In: Finance ##### Value of Stock and P/E Ratio Castle-in-Sand generates a rate of return of $$20 \%$$ on its investments and maintains a plowback ratio of $$0.30 .$$ Its earnings this year will be $$\ 4$$ per share. Investors expect a $$12 \%$$ rate of return on the stock. Required: (a.) Find the price and $$\mathrm{P} / \mathrm{E}$$ ratio of the firm. (b.) What happens to the P/E ratio if the plowback ratio is reduced to 0.20? Why? (c.) Show that if plowback equals zero, the earnings-price ratio, E/P, falls to the expected rate of return on the stock.
