Stephenson Real Estate Company was founded 25 years ago by the current CEO, Robert Stephenson. The company purchases real estate, including land and buildings, and rents the properties to tenants. The company has shown a profit every year for the past 18 years, and the shareholders are satisfied with the company’s management. Prior to founding Stephenson Real Estate, Robert was the founder and CEO of a failed alpaca farming operation. The resulting bankruptcy made him extremely averse to debt financing. As a result, the company is entirely equity financed, with 9 million shares of common stock outstanding. The stock currently trades at $37.80 per share.

Stephenson is evaluating a plan to purchase a huge tract of land in the southeastern United States for $95 million. The land will subsequently be leased to tenant farmers. This purchase is expected to increase Stephenson’s annual pre-tax earnings (EBIT) by $18.75 million in perpetuity. Jennifer Weyand, the company’s new CFO, has been put in charge of the project. Jennifer has determined that the company’s current cost of capital is 10.20%. She feels that the company would be more valuable if it included debt in its capital structure, so she is evaluating whether the company should issue debt to entirely finance the project. Based on some conversations with investment banks, she thinks that the company can issue bonds at par (face value) with a 6 percent coupon rate. From her analysis, she also believes that a capital structure in the range of 70 percent equity/30 percent debt would be optimal. If the company goes beyond 30 percent debt, its bonds would carry a lower rating and a much higher coupon because of the possibility of financial distress and the associated costs would rise sharply. Stephenson has a 40 percent corporate tax rate.

What after-tax cash flow must Stephenson be currently producing per year, assuming that its current cash flows remain constant each year?

Construct Stephenson’s market value balance sheet before it announces the purchase.

3)Suppose Stephenson decided to issue equity to finance the purchase.

Construct Stephenson’s market value balance sheet after the equity issue, but before the purchase has been made. How many shares of common stock does Stephenson have outstanding? What is the price per share of the firm’s stock?

e)What is Stephenson’s weighted average cost of capital after the acquisition? What after-tax cash flow will be produced annually after the acquisition? What is the present value of this stream of after-tax cash flow? What is the stock price after the acquisition? Does this agree with your previous calculations?

Suppose Stephenson decides to issue debt to finance the purchase.

Which method of financing maximizes the per-share price of Stephenson’s equity?

Does the resultant capital structure (with the land acquisition financed by debt) satisfy Jennifer’s concerns about the negative effects of moving beyond the optimal capital structure?
