Explanation:

Given the following ;

Values depending on Success

$150M, $135M, $95M, $80M

Risk free rate = 5% = 0.05

Pervebtage to be lost in case of bankruptcy = 25% = 0.25

A.) 0.25 × [( 150 + 135 + 95 + 80) ÷ 1.05] = $109.52 million

Assume a zero-coupon debt with a $100million face value

B.) 0.25 × [( 100 + 100 + (95×0.75) + (80×0.75)) ÷ 1.05] = $78.87 million

C.) Yield to maturity (YTM)

(100M÷78.87M) - 1

1.2679 - 1 = 0.2679 = 26.79%

Expected return = 5%

D.) Equity value

0.25 × [( 150 + 135 + (95×0.75) + (80×0.75)) ÷ 1.05] = $99.11 million

E.) share if no debt is issued

109.52 ÷ 10 = 10.95 per share

F.) Share price if debt of $100M is issued

99.11 ÷ 10 = 9.91 per share

The price differs because bankruptcy cost will Lower the share price.

Xelga [282]

Answer:

b. $4,213

Explanation:

Net Operating Profit = Sales - Operating costs - Depreciation Expenses

Net Operating Profit = $172,500 - $140,500 - $9,250

Net Operating Profit = $22,750

Free Cash Flow (FCF) = Net Operating Profit After Tax(NOPAT) – Capital Expenditures – Changes in Net Working Capital

Free Cash Flow (FCF) = Net operating income*(1 - Tax Rate) + Depreciation Expenses - Capital Expenditures - Changes in Net Working Capital

Free Cash Flow (FCF) = $22,750 *(1 - 0.25) + $9,250 - $15,250 - $6,850

Free Cash Flow (FCF) = $22,750 *0.75) + $9,250 - $15,250 - $6,850

Free Cash Flow (FCF) = $17,063 + $9,250 - $15,250 - $6,850

Free Cash Flow (FCF) = $4,213.
