Answer:
a. Suppose GP issues $ 100$100 million of new stock to buy back the debt. What is the expected return of the stock after this transaction?
b. Suppose instead GP issues $ 50.00$50.00 million of new debt to repurchase stock. i. If the risk of the debt does not change, what is the expected return of the stock after this transaction?
ii. If the risk of the debt increases, would the expected return of the stock be higher or lower than when debt is issued to repurchase stock in part (i)?
- If the risk of the debt increases, then the cost of the debt will increase. Therefore, the company will need to spend more money paying the interests related to the new debt which would decrease the ROE compared to the 18% of (i). Since we do not know the new cost of the debt, we cannot know exactly by how much it will affect the ROE, but I assume it will still be higher than the previous ROE.
Explanation:
common stock $200 million
total debt $100 million
required rate of return 15%
cost of debt 6%
current profits = ($200 million x 15%) + ($100 x 6%) = $30 million + $6 million = $36 million
if equity increases to $300 million, ROI = 36/300 = 12
if instead new debt is issued at 6%:
equity 150 million, debt 150 million
cost of debt = 150 million x 6% = $9 million
remaining profits = $36 - $9 = $27 million
ROI = 27/150 = 18%

Answer: Increase by $250
Explanation: As per the general rule of economics when there is an increase in income, that increase will eventually lead to increase in expenditure.
As, there is an increase in investment in the given case so it will result in increase in income for the economy.
We can compute it as :-
= $250
Therefore, the expenditure would increase by $250
Answer:
Book value per share is $3.5, Earnings per share is $0.48, Market-to-book ratio is 2.0x; P/E ratio = 18.75
Explanation:
1. In order to calculate the book value of the shares we divide the total value of the shares by the number of shares which is $35,000,000/10,000,000 shares = $3.5
2. Earnings per share is derived by dividing the total earnings (after subtracting preference dividends, but in this case we have common stock dividend so we do not subtract) by the number of shares outstanding. i.e. $4,800,000 / 10,000,000 shares = $0.48
3. Market to book ratio is derived by dividing the market value of the outstanding shares by its book value. Therefore ($9*10,000,000 shares)/$35,000,000 = 2.0 (written as 2.0x, implying that the market value of the shares of Roxie's Bed & Breakfast Corp. can cover its net assets (or equity) twice.)
4.The Price Earnings ratio is derived by dividing the Price of the shares by the earnings per share.i.e. $9/0.48(derived in 2 above) = 18.75.
