Star, Inc., a prominent consumer products firm, is debating whether or not to convert its all-equity capital structure to one th
Dmitry_Shevchenko [17]

Answer:

Explanation:

1)  The earnings per share are:

EPS = $39,100/17,000 shares

EPS = $2.30

Cash flow for the company is:

Cash flow = $2.30 X 150 shares

Cash flow = $345

2) Need to determine the EPS of the firm under the proposed capital structure. The market value of the firm is:

MV = $47*17,000  = $799,000

Under the proposed capital structure, the firm will raise new debt in the amount of  D = 0.20*$799,000 = $159,800 in debt. The number of shares repurchased will be:

Shares repurchased = $159,800/$47  = 3400

Under the new capital structure, the company will have to make an interest payment on the new debt. The net income with the interest payment will be:

NI = $39,100 – 0.065*$159,800  = $39100-10,387= $28,713

EPS under the new capital structure will be:

EPS = $28,713/13,600 shares  = $2.11

Shareholder cash flow = $2.11*150 shares  = $316.5

3)  In this case, capital structure is irrelevant because shareholders can create their own leverage or unlever the stock to create different capital structures. This has no connection with the capital structure that firm chooses.

Andrei [34K]

Answer:

The answer is: underperform passive fixed-income indexes by an amount equal to fund expenses

Explanation:

According to Blake, Elton, and Gruber (The Journal of Business, 1993), the only people who benefit from actively managed bond mutual funds are those that work for the mutual funds and not their clients.

Justin Cement Company has had the following pattern of earnings per share over the last five years: Year Earnings Per Share 20X1
ElenaW [278]

Answer:

(a) $4.08

(b) $51.03

Explanation:

Constant growth rate for earnings:

= (EPS for any year ÷ EPS for the previous year) - 1

= (8.40 ÷ 8.00) - 1

= 0.05

= 5%

(a) EPS for 2016 = EPS for 2015 × (1 + 5%)

                          = 9.72 × 1.05

                          = $10.21          

Dividend for 2016 = 40% × EPS for 2016

                               = 40% × 10.206

                               = $4.08

(b) Stock Price at the beginning of 2016:

= Dividend for 2016 ÷ (Required rate of return - Constant growth rate)

= 4.0824 ÷ (0.13 - 0.05)

= $51.03

The price of notebooks is $5, and at that price consumers demand 12 notebooks. If the price rises to $7, consumers will decrease
Vitek1552 [10]

Answer:

3

Explanation:

We are asked to use the midpoint formula.

Here, instead of dividing the change in values by the old value as in the normal elasticity calculation, we use the average of the two.

Mathematically:

Price elasticity of demand according to midpoint formula is :

{Q2 - Q1 / (Q2 + Q1) ÷ 2] × 100%} ÷ {[P2 - P1/ (P2 + P1) ÷ 2] × 100}

Price changed from 5 to 7. The midpoint of 5 and 7 is the average = (5+7)/2 = 6

% change in price in this case is (7-5)/6 * 100 = 100/3 = 33.33%

% change in quantity:

We first find the average = (12+4)/2 = 16/2 = 8

% change = (4-12)/8 * 100 = -100%

The elasticity of demand is thus -100/33.33 = 3
