In 2009, Roche Holding AG (Roche) made an offer to acquire all remaining outstanding shares of US biotechnology company Genentech. To pay for the deal, Roche planned to sell a record $32 billion in bonds at various maturities from 1 year to 30 years, and in three different currencies (USD, Euro, British pound). For simplicity, let us assume they only issue 10 year dollar-denominated bonds. The 10 year interest rates on corporate bonds, and the median earnings to interest expense ratios (EBITDA/interest expense coverage ratio) for US rated industrial companies at the time were as follows:

With the acquisition of Genentech, suppose we project that Roche will have earnings (EBITDA) of $23 billion, and their interest expense will be $32 billion (the debt) times the interest rate. If we use the coverage ratio to estimate the bond rating, and we use the bond rating to estimate the interest rate, what rating will we assign to Roche's debt?

Retlaw Corporation (RC) manufactures time-series photographic equipment. It is currently at its target debt–equity ratio of 0.83. It’s considering building a new $46 million manufacturing facility. This new plant is expected to generate after-tax cash flows of $8.5 million in perpetuity. The company raises all equity from outside financing. There are three financing options: A new issue of common stock: The flotation costs of the new common stock would be 8% of the amount raised. The required return on the company’s new equity is 16%. A new issue of 20-year bonds: The flotation costs of the new bonds would be 4% of the proceeds. If the company issues these new bonds at an annual coupon rate of 8.0%, they will sell at par. Increased use of accounts payable financing: Because this financing is part of the company’s ongoing daily business, it has no flotation costs, and the company assigns it a cost that is the same as the overall firm WACC. Management has a target ratio of accounts payable to long-term debt of 0.140. What is the NPV of the new plant? Assume that RC has a 35% tax rate. (Enter the answer in dollars. Do not round intermediate calculations. Round the WACC percentage to 2 decimal places. Round the final answer to 2 decimal places. Omit $ sign in your response.) NPV $

The Cost of the Cheap Shirt Conduct some research about the working conditions and regulatory environment in clothing factories in Bangladesh. Economists warn about quick fixes for wages and the imposition of U.S. safety standards on foreign factories. They offer the following figures to illustrate that the issue of labor conditions in other countries is complex. In Bangladesh, clothing factories get about $6.75 per shirt. These are the factory costs: $4.75 for the fabric and thread $1.00 for the shirt’s labels $0.38 wage costs for each shirt (workers earn $70 to $80 a month) $0.15 per shirt for laundering That leaves $0.47 per shirt for facilities, shipment, marketing, and perhaps the interest on loans. The cost of living in Bangladesh is $40 per month for rent, and food per adult is $13 per month. Milk for a child is $5 per month. Those who work in the factories are generally the main wage earners in their families because no other jobs pay as well. Given this analysis, where do you see some fixes for the safety and wage issues? What needs to be done besides instituting codes of ethics and factory and labor standards? Assume that you are a manager for a clothing firm in the United States and you are being sent to Bangladesh to select a new manufacturer for your clothing lines. Discuss some of the issues that will affect your decisions about choosing a new facility to work with.
