Rollins Corporation is estimating its WACC. Its target capital structure is 20% debt, 20% preferred stock, and 60% common equity

. Its bonds have a 7.5% coupon, paid semi-annually, a current maturity of 20 years, and sell for $1,105.78. The firm could sell, at par, $100 preferred stock which pays a 8% annual dividend, but flotation costs of 5 percent would be incurred. Rollins' beta is 1.8, the risk-free rate is 2.45%, and the market risk premium is 5%. The firm's marginal tax rate is 40 percent.

Answer:

A. What is the company's cost of preferred equity?

  • 8.42%

B. What is the company's cost of common equity?

  • 11.45%

C. What is the company's WACC?

  • 9.31%

Explanation:

20% debt ⇒ after tax cost of debt 3.76%

20% preferred stock ⇒ 8.42%

60% common equity ⇒ 11.45%

in order to determine the after tax cost of debt we must first determine the yield to maturity of debt:

approximate YTM = {37.5 +[(1,000 - 1,150.78)/40]} / [(1,000 + 1,150.78)/2] = 33.7305 / 1,075.39 = 3.3166% x 2 = 6.2732%

after tax cost of debt = 6.2732% x 0.6 = 3.76%

cost of preferred stocks = 8 / (100 x 0.95) = 8 / 95 = 8.42%

cost of equity (Re) = 2.45% + (1.8 x 5%) = 2.45% + 9% = 11.45%

WACC = (60% x 11.45%) + (20% x 8.42%) + (20% x 3.76%) = 6.87% + 1.684% + 0.752% = 9.306% = 9.31%

ipn [44]

Remainder part of the question:

This turned out to be a very poor growth strategy because

A. the capital stock was increasing less rapidly than technology.

B. the amount of labor per unit of capital was increasing.

C. there were diminishing returns to capital.

D. the amount of capital per hour worked was decreasing

Answer:

Option C There were diminishing returns to capital.

Explanation:

The reason is that the investment gave diminishing returns which didn't covered its cost of capital (the cost that we pay to finance providers). This diminishing returns limited the investment in the forthcoming period and as result we see the fall of Soviet Union. So this option provides a better insight to the poor growth strategy. The investment must be in projects that generates greater value to the organization.

Breakeven analysis: Barry Carter is considering opening a music store. He wants to estimate the number of CDs he must sell to br
Scilla [17]

Answer and Explanation:

The computation is shown below:

a. The operating break even point in number of CD is

= Fixed operating cost ÷ (Selling price per unit - variable operating cost)

= $73,500 ÷ ($13.98 - $10.48)

= 21,000 CDs

b. Now the total operating cost is

= Fixed cost + Quantity × variable cost per unit

= $73,500 + 21,000 CDs × $10.48

= $293,580

c. If he can sell 2,000 CDs per month than annual sale is 24,000 CDs and the break even is exceeded than 3,000 CDs by taking a difference of 24,000 CDs and 21,000 CDs . So, it should go to the CD business

d. Now the EBIT is

= (Selling price × Quantity) - Fixed cost - (Variable price × Quantity)

= ($13.98 × 24,000) - $73,500 - ($10.48 × 24,000)

= $335,520 - $73,500 - $251,520

= $10,500

We simply applied the above formulas

Suppose Rocky Brands has earnings per share of ​$2.33 and EBITDA of ​$29.3 million. The firm also has 5.3 million shares outstan
posledela

Answer:

enterprise value to EBITDA.

Explanation:

The computation of the value of the stock using P/E ratio is shown below:-

Stock value = (P/E ratio × EPS) × Number of shares outstanding

= (12.9 × $2.33) × 5.3 million

= 159.3021 million

Now, the computation of the value of the stock using EBITDA multiple is shown below:-

Stock value = (EBITDA multiple × EBITDA) - Net debt

= (7.1 × $29.3 million) - $125 million

= 208.03 - $125 million

= 83.03

There is no equivalent corporate debt. It is easier to make a comparison at the operating level and thus a better measure of valuation is the enterprise value to EBITDA.
