第五次作业
1.Divido公司是一个完全以股权融资的公司,其总市值为10000万元。该公司持有1000万元的现金等价物和9000万元的其它资产。公司发行在外的普通股共计100万份,每股市价为100元。 Divido 公司决定发行2000万元的债券,并且回购价值2000万元的股票。
在一个满足M&M 定理、无摩擦的市场环境中,债券的发行对股票价格和股东财富有什么样的影响,为什么?
假设 Divido's息税前收益( EBIT)有可能是2000万元, 1200万元,或 400万元,并且这三种结果发生的可能性相同。求在无税收的环境中,该资本结构调整行为对每股盈余的概率分布的影响 。为什么股权风险变大不一定会影响股东的财富状况?
2.英国Comfort Shoe 公司决定将其Tango Dance Shoes 分部分离出去,使其成为美国的一个独立公司。Tango Dance Shoes 分部资产的经营风险与Comfort公司整体的经营风险相同。Comfort公司的资本结构为40%的债务和60%的股权(均按市值计算),并且管理层认为这一结构是最优的。对Comfort公司资产的应得收益率(Required return)为每年16%,而公司(包括分部)现在须支付的债务利息为每年10% 。
预计Tango Shoes 分部的年销售收入可能会保持去年的水平,即1000万元。可变成本为销售的55% 。年折旧是100万元,并且折旧费用正好与每年的新增投资额相等。公司税率为 40% 。
在无负债形式下, Tango Shoes 分部的价值应该是多少?
如果Tango Shoes分部分连同500万元的债务一起分离出去,那么它的价值又是多少?
股东对Tango Shoes 分部的应得收益率(Required return)是多少?
证明新公司股东权益的市场价值相对于股东得到的收益是合理的。
3.在问题7的基础上,假设 Foxtrot Dance Shoe 公司制造传统样式的舞鞋,是Tango Dance Shoes公司的竞争者。 Foxtrot公司与Tango公司有相似的风险和特征,区别只在于前者是完全无负债的。由于担心Tango Dance Shoes公司为了维持自己的市场地位可能会收购Foxtrot公司, Foxtrot公司决定进行债务融资以回购其股票。
如果现在发行在外的股票为500,000股,那么Foxtrot公司股票的每股价值是多少?
如果Foxtrot公司打算按照公司价值的40%进行债务融资,则它能够回购多少股份,以及回购价格将是多少?
Foxtrot公司是否应该借入更多的资金?
4.A leveraged buyout (LBO) is the acquisition by a small group of equity investors of a public or private company financed primarily with debt. The equityholders service the heavy interest and principal payments with cash from operations and/or asset sales. The shareholders generally hope to reverse the LBO within three to seven years by way of a public offering or sale of the company to another firm. A buyout is therefore likely to be successful only if the firm generates enough cash to serve the debt in the early years, and if the company is attractive to other buyers as the buyout matures.
In a leveraged buyout, the equity investors are expected to pay off outstanding principal according to a specific timetable. The owners know that the firm’s debt-equity ratio will fall and can forecast the dollar amount of debt needed to finance future operations. Under these circumstances, the adjusted-present-value (APV) approach is more practical than the weighted-average-cost-of-capital (WACC) approach because the capital structure is changing.
The APV method can be used to value companied as well as projects. Applied in this way, the maximum value of a levered firm (VL) is its value as an all-equity entity (VU) plus the discounted value of the interest tax shields from the debt its assets will support (PVTS). This relation can be stated as
In the second part of this equation, UCFt is the unlevered cash flow from operations for year t. Discounting these cash flows by the required return on assets, r0, yields the all-equity value of the company. Bt-1 represents the debt balance remaining at the end of year(t-1). Because interest in a given year is based on the debt balance remaining at the end of the previous year, the interest paid in year t is rBBt-1. The numerator of the second term, TCrBBt-1, is therefore the tax shield for year t. We discount this series of annual tax shields using the rate at which the firm borrows, rB.
The following RJR Nabisco transaction, the largest LBO in history, gives an example.
The RJR Nabisco Buyout. In the summer of 1998, the price of RJR stock was hovering around $55 a share. The firm had $5 billion of debt. The firm’s CEO, acting in concert with some other senior management of the firm, announced a bid of $75 per share to take the firm private in a management buyout. Within days of management’s offer, Kohlberg, Kravis and Roberts(KKR) entered the fray with a $90 bid of their own. By the end of November, KKR emerged from the ensuing bidding process with an offer of $109 a share, or $25 billion total.
If succeeded, KKR planned to sell several of RJR’s food divisions and operate the remaining parts of the firm more efficiently. Table 4.1 presents KKR’s projected cash flows for RJR under the buyout, adjusting for operational efficiencies and including planned asset sales.

With respect to financial strategy, KKR planned a significant increase in leverage with accompanying tax benefits. Specifically, KKR issued almost $24 billion of new debt to complete the buyout, raising annual interest costs to more than $3 billion. Table 4.2 presents the projected interest expense and tax shields for the transaction.
