You are going to value Lauryn’s Doll Co. using the FCF model. After consulting various sources, you find that Lauryn's has a reported equity beta of 1.5, a debt-to-equity ratio of 0.4, and a tax rate of 30 percent. Assume a risk-free rate of 5 percent and a market risk premium of 7 percent. Lauryn’s Doll Co. had EBIT last year of $46 million, which is net of a depreciation expense of $4.6 million. In addition, Lauryn's made $6.25 million in capital expenditures and increased net working capital by $3.6 million. Assume the FCF is expected to grow at a rate of 3 percent into perpetuity. What is the value of the firm?

How much should you deposit into a bank account annually in order to buy a property that you expect to cost $231400 in 4 years if the account pays 3% annual interest? You are able to deposit $1355 quarterly into a bank account that is paying 14% annually. How much will you be able to accumulate after 8 years? (Express your answer as a positive number and to two decimal places.)

(Option leverage; straddle payoffs; replication; % margin) In the one-period binomial model, the current stock price of CAT (Caterpillar) is $90. Robert expects that in one year the stock price of CAT will be either $108 (up move) or $75 (down move). The exercise price of one-year European call (or put) option of CAT=$100 and risk-free rate r=2% per annum. Robert would like to construct a portfolio with the stock and cash to replicate the payoff of 1,000 units of “straddle” of CAT, where one unit of straddle is the combination of long one call option and long one put option with the same strike price.

(a) What are the gross payoffs ($) of 1,000 units of CAT straddle in the up and down move, respectively?

(b) How many shares of CAT does Robert need to buy/short now?

(c) How much money does Robert need borrow/save now?

(d) Calculate the percentage margin.

[Note: percentage margin=(equity)/(short position) or percentage margin=(equity)/(value of stock)]

(e) Calculate the current price of CAT straddle (per unit) in the one-period binomial setting.

​Beryl's Iced Tea currently rents a bottling machine for $ 54 comma 000 per​ year, including all maintenance expenses. It is considering purchasing a machine instead and is comparing two​ options: a. Purchase the machine it is currently renting for $ 160 comma 000. This machine will require $ 24 comma 000 per year in ongoing maintenance expenses. b. Purchase a​ new, more advanced machine for $ 265 comma 000. This machine will require $ 20 comma 000 per year in ongoing maintenance expenses and will lower bottling costs by $ 11 comma 000 per year.​ Also, $ 40 comma 000 will be spent up front to train the new operators of the machine. Suppose the appropriate discount rate is 7 % per year and the machine is purchased today. Maintenance and bottling costs are paid at the end of each​ year, as is the cost of the rental machine. Assume also that the machines will be depreciated via the​ straight-line method over seven years and that they have a​ 10-year life with a negligible salvage value. The marginal corporate tax rate is 35 %. Should​ Beryl's Iced Tea continue to​ rent, purchase its current​ machine, or purchase the advanced​ machine? To make this​ decision, calculate the NPV of the FCF associated with each alternative.

7) Steinway has expected earnings before interest and taxes of $1,360,000, an unlevered cost of capital of 9.8 percent, and a tax rate of 25 percent. The company has $1,200,000 of debt that carries a 6.4 percent coupon. The debt is selling at par value. Assume the firm maintains this debt amount forever. What is the interest tax shield of the firm in a given year? What is the value of the firm?

8)Yankee Company is currently an all equity firm. Its current cost of equity is 10.4 percent and the tax rate is 25 percent. The firm has 1,700,000 shares of stock outstanding with a market price of $46 a share. The firm is considering capital restructuring that allows $12 million of debt with a coupon rate of 6.4 percent. The debt will be sold at par value and the proceeds will be used to repurchase shares. What is the value per share after the recapitalization? (Hint: You need to determine the total value of equity after recapitalization that accounts for the PV of interest tax shield and the number of shares outstanding after repurchased)

1. Suppose the market value of risky and risk free bonds is initially $850 with a corresponding return of 17.6 %, illustratively discuss the probable reaction of bond buyers and sellers when corporate bonds become riskier to such an extent that the market value of corporate bonds falls to $800 with a corresponding 25% rate of return. If the response of buyers causes the price of risk-free bonds to rise to$900 with a corresponding 11.1 % rate of return, derive the risk premium.

You have been hired as a consultant for Pristine Urban-Tech Zither, Inc. (PUTZ), manufacturers of fine zithers. The market for zithers is growing quickly. The company bought some land three years ago for $1.38 million in anticipation of using it as a toxic waste dump site but has recently hired another company to handle all toxic materials. Based on a recent appraisal, the company believes it could sell the land for $1,480,000 on an aftertax basis. In four years, the land could be sold for $1,580,000 after taxes. The company also hired a marketing firm to analyze the zither market, at a cost of $123,000. An excerpt of the marketing report is as follows: The zither industry will have a rapid expansion in the next four years. With the brand name recognition that PUTZ brings to bear, we feel that the company will be able to sell 3,600, 4,500, 5,100, and 4,000 units each year for the next four years, respectively. Again, capitalizing on the name recognition of PUTZ, we feel that a premium price of $630 can be charged for each zither. Because zithers appear to be a fad, we feel at the end of the four-year period, sales should be discontinued. PUTZ feels that fixed costs for the project will be $415,000 per year, and variable costs are 15 percent of sales. The equipment necessary for production will cost $3.30 million and will be depreciated according to a three-year MACRS schedule. At the end of the project, the equipment can be scrapped for $390,000. Net working capital of $123,000 will be required immediately. PUTZ has a 40 percent tax rate, and the required return on the project is 13 percent. Assume the company has other profitable projects. MACRS schedule. What is the NPV of the project? (Do not round intermediate calculations and round your answer to 2 decimal places, e.g., 32.16.)
