Steinberg Corporation and Dietrich Corporation are identical companies except that Dietrich is more levered. Both companies will

remain in business for one more year. The companies' economists agree that the probability of the continuation of the current expansion is 70 percent for the next year, and the probability of a recession is 30 percent. If the expansion continues, each company will generate earnings before interest and taxes (EBIT) of $4 million. If a recession occurs, each company will generate earnings before interest and taxes (EBIT) of $1.4 million. Steinberg's debt obligation requires the company to pay $940,000 at the end of the year. Dietrich's debt obligation requires the company to pay $1.5 million at the end of the year. Neither company pays taxes. Assume a discount rate of 15 percent.

Answer:

Explanation:

he total value of a firm’s equity is the discounted expected cash flow to the firm’s shareholders. If the expansion [in the economy] continues, each firm will generate EBIT of $4 million, but the firm is also obligated to pay interest of $940,000. If a recession occurs, Steinberg will have an EBIT of $1,400,000 but still have to pay $1,500,000 in interest to bondholders. Therefore, assuming a discount rate of 15%, the market value of Steinberg’s equity will be:

ESteinberg = [(.70)($4,000,000 - $940,000) + (.30)($1,400,000 - $940,000)]/1.15

ESteinberg = $1,982,609

Steinberg’s bondholders will receive $940,000 whether there is a recession or expansion in the economy. So, the market value of Steinberg’s debt is: DSteinberg = {(.70)[$940,000] + (.3)[$940,000]}/1.15 = $817,391

Since Dietrich owes its bondholders $1.5 million at the end of the year, its shareholders will receive $ million [i.e., $4 million - $1.5 million] in the event of expansion. If there is a recession, its shareholders receive nothing because the EBIT of $1.4 million is less than the interest payment of $1.5 million. Therefore, the market value of Dietrich’s equity will be: EDeitrich = {(.70)[$1.5 million} + (.3)[0]}/1.15 = $913,043 Dietrich’s bondholders will receive $1.5 million if the expansion continues, but only $1.4million if there is a recession [i.e., they take a $100,000 loss].

DDeitrich = { (.70)[$1.5 million] + (.3)[$1.4million]}/1.15 = $1,278,261

The value of Steinberg is: VSteinberg = D + E = $2,800,000

The value of Deitrich is: VDeitrich = D + E = $834,783 + $695,652 = $2,191,304

Which of the following will not create minimum contacts in a state sufficient to find personal jurisdiction on an out-of-state d
Maurinko [17]

Answer: A company maintains a website that provides information about its products and that provides an address or number that a customer can contact to obtain an order form to purchase products directly from the company.

Explanation:

With different states having varying laws but yet still sharing a lot of business interests, it is important that the states know when they can have jurisdiction over a person.

Minimum contacts is the solution and is used to determine whether an entity has sufficient contacts in a state to warrant jurisdiction over them.

Simply having a website that can be accessed by people in a state does not fall under the provisions required for minimum contact to be met so the courts in this state cannot have personal jurisdiction over this company.
