32) Which of the following statements are TRUE regarding the impact of a dividend issuance compared...

32) Which of the following statements are TRUE regarding the impact of a dividend issuance compared to a share repurchase on the three financial statements?

a) Both a dividend issuance and a share repurchase will change the company’s Earnings per Share (EPS), since dividends affect earnings and repurchased shares affect the company’s share count.

b) A share repurchase is better for both the company and shareholders because no taxes are paid on repurchased shares, whereas taxes are always paid on dividends issued.

c) Both a share repurchase and a dividend issuance will show up within the Cash Flow from Financing section of the Cash Flow Statement.

d) Both a dividend issuance and a share repurchase will reduce the Equity line item on a company’s Balance Sheet.

e) While a share repurchase reduces the Treasury Stock line item within Equity, a dividend issuance reduces Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income (AOCI), since AOCI represents the company’s saved-up, after-tax earnings.

42) Suppose that you have built a PP&E Schedule.. Which of the following conditions might you check to verify that you are using reasonable assumptions?

a) CapEx as a % of Revenue should almost always be rising over time for a high-growth company like this one.

b) The CapEx annual growth rate should be in-line with historical growth rates, perhaps declining modestly each year as the company grows.

c) Particularly if a company is growing quickly, CapEx as a % of Revenue will often exceed Depreciation as a % of Revenue.

d) In the long-term, Total CapEx should always equal Total Depreciation because the company’s Net PP&E balance should not be changing.

e) CapEx as a % of Revenue should be falling over time because companies have lower re-investment needs as their businesses grow.

47) Suppose that you are analyzing a high-growth software company, such as the one we have been using in these examples. This company, despite its high growth, also has high margins and is generating significant Free Cash Flow.

Which of the following answer choices represent the BEST ways for this company to spend its excess Free Cash Flow if it wants to maximize its valuation?

a) Return capital to investors in the form of dividends or share repurchases, as doing so will likely boost the value of the company’s shares.

b) Substantially increase spending on Working Capital or Capital Expenditures, as both items are essential for software companies to grow.

c) Spend more on sales & marketing to win bigger customers and boost the average customer value.

d) Acquire related companies if the market is highly fragmented and there are target companies with reasonable valuations.

1)      Surrounding the Great Lake are four paper-mills, each producing 100 tons of paper per year. The paper is sold on the national market for $2 per ton, and including all the costs of production, costs for each firm are $1 per ton. Thus each firm earns a pure economic profit of $1 per ton. These paper mills require fresh water to operate and also produce a pollutant, which they dump into the Great Lake. New paper mills can also locate on the Great Lake, and produce at a base cost of $1 per ton. However, for each new paper mill which arrives (i.e., starting with the 5th mill), the water will become more polluted, and each firm will have to install a water treatment facility to obtain fresh water. This externality associated with new plants will raise the costs of paper production at all facilities, including the new one, by $.15 per ton for each new mill.

a. Fill in the table below to help you with your answers. which compares average revenues with average and marginal costs as new firms locate around the lake. (2 points)

b. Assume there is free access to the Great Lake. If paper mills will continue to locate as long as their is any economic profit to be earned, how many new mills will be built (i.e., the open access solution? (2 points)

c. What is the number of mills that maximizes total combined profits for the paper producers? (Hint: Average revenue remains constant at $2 (i.e, the efficient solution)?. What are these profits (resource rents) if the efficient solution? (2 points)

d. Suppose that government regulation reduced the number of mills by one from the number that would have resulted given free access. Show that the increase in profits to the remaining firms (the resource rent) is sufficient to compensate the firm that is denied access its lost profits. (2 points)

2) Suppose the state is trying to decide how many miles of a scenic river it should preserve. There are 100 people in the community, each of whom has an identical inverse demand function given by P=10-1.0q, where q is the number of miles preserved and P is the per-mile-price he or she is willing to pay for the q miles of preserved river. If the marginal cost of preservation is $500 per mile, how many miles would be preserved in an efficient allocation? (2 points)
