Logan Township acquired its water system from a private company on June 1. No receivables were acquired with the purchase. Therefore, total accounts receivable on June 1 had a zero balance.

Logan plans to bill customers during the month of sale, and 70% of the resulting billings will be collected during the same month. 90% of the remaining balance should be collectable in the next following month. The remaining uncollectible amounts will relate to citizens who have moved away. Such amounts are never expected to be collected and will be written off.

Water sales during June are estimated at $3,000,000 and remain the same in July and August.

Estimate the monthly cash collections for August. An example for June and July follows:

June July August
$3,000,000 X .7 = $2,100,000 (June receivables collected in June). This leaves $900,000 yet to be collected. $3,000,000 X .7 = $2,100,000 (July billings collected in July). In addition, 90% of June’s uncollected receivables will be collected: $900,000 X .9 = $810,000. $2,100,000 + $810,000 = $2,910,000 will be collected in July. ($90,000 will never be collected)


Without performing calculations, how would the answer change if Logan bills customers in the month following the month of sale?

The job cost sheets reflected the following allocations of costs to each building:

Job 2 2400 50

Job 3 1800 28

The company paid $320 cash for indirect labor costs. Actual overhead cost paid in cash other than indirect labor was $640. Ladora completed Jobs 1 and 2 and sold Job 1 for $5,000 cash. The company incurred $600 of selling and administrative expenses that were paid in cash. Over- or underapplied overhead is closed to Cost of Goods Sold.

Cara had been over her resume again and again. She was sure it was right. The night before the interview, she printed out a few copies to take with her. She looked this version so it would be fresh in her mind. Suddenly she noticed that she had made two errors! She had misspelled the company name with an ie rather than an ei, and she had used too instead of to. She quickly fixed both mistakes and was thankful that, despite the errors, she was still getting an interview. She would give the interviewer and any new jobs leads the new version of her resume and hopefully get a job.


How could Cara have avoided the error?

Robertson Real Estate Recapitalization

Founded 25 years ago by CEO Steve Robertson, Robertson Real Estate (RRE) purchases commercial real estate (land and buildings), rents both to tenants. The company has shown consistent annual profits over the past 18 years, and shareholders have been pleased with the company's management. Before he started RRE, Steve was also the founder and CEO of a now bankrupt Ostrich farm. This previous bankruptcy has made him extremely reluctant to undertake any type of debt financing, and he has financed the real estate company 100% with equity. Robertson Real Estate stock currently trades at $37.80 per share and has 8 million shares of common stock outstanding.

The company has been reviewing an opportunity to purchase a large segment of land in the southeastern United States for $85 million and plans to lease this property to one or more farming operations. The land purchase is expected to increase RRE's annual pretax earnings by $14.125 million in perpetuity. Raylynne Givins, the company's new CFO, determined the company's current cost of capital is 10.2%. She feels the company would be more valuable if it added some debt to its capital structure, so she is evaluating whether the company should issue debt to fully finance the project.

Based on conversations with several investment banks, Raylynne believes RRE can issue bonds at par value with a 6% coupon rate. Her analysis suggests a capital structure using 70% equity / 30% debt would be optimal. If the company's debt structure exceeds 30%, RRE's bond rating would be lower and require a significantly higher coupon due to the increased exposure to financial distress and the associated higher financing costs. RRE has a combined state and federal corporate tax rate of 23%.

Questions:

  1. If RRE seeks to maximize total market value, should the company issue debt or equity to finance the land purchase? Explain.
  2. Suppose RRE decides to issue equity to finance the purchase.
    1. What is the net present value (NPV) of the project?
    2. Construct RRE's market value balance sheet after it announces the firm will finance the purchase using equity.
      1. What would be the new price per share of the firm's stock?
      2. How many shares will RRE need to issue to finance the purchase?
    3. Construct RRE's market value balance sheet after the equity issue but before the purchase has been made.
      1. How many shares of common stock does RRE have outstanding?
      2. What is the price per share of the firm's stock?
  3. Suppose RRE decides to issue debt to finance the purchase.
    1. What will be the market value of RRE if the purchase if financed with debt?
    2. Construct RRE's market value balance sheet after both the debt issue and the land purchase. What is the price per share of the firm's stock?
  4. Which method of financing maximizes the per-share stock price of RRE's equity?
