Solutions

Expert Solution

Part a)

Current Liabilities = $100 million

Long Term Debt = $200 million

Stakeholders Equity = $300 million

Long Term Debt to Long Term Debt plus Equity = 200 / (200 + 300) = 200 / 500 = 40%

Part b) Impact of stock repurchase in lieu of a cash dividend

For an investor both are lucrative options dividend and share repurchase however share repurchase is a uncertain event and doesn't guarantee future returns however dividend has payout ratio and mostly company maintain that or increase the payout to investors.

Stock repurchase announcement give a major rise to the share price because repurchase decision reduces the outstanding shares and increases ratio performances like EPS, ROE, ROA etc..

In share buyback announcement investors has option to choose date for sale of share and can plan tax filling accordingly however in dividend same flexibility is not given to investors, they are suppose to file tax in respective financial year.
