Question

Milano Pizza Club owns three identical restaurants popular for their specialty pizzas. Each restaurant has a debt–equity ratio of 35 percent and makes interest payments of $53,000 at the end of each year. The cost of the firm’s levered equity is 20 percent. Each store estimates that annual sales will be $1.54 million; annual cost of goods sold will be $790,000; and annual general and administrative costs will be $525,000. These cash flows are expected to remain the same forever. The corporate tax rate is 40 percent.
Use the flow to equity approach to determine the value of the company’s equity.
What is the total value of the company?

Answer 1

Answer:

A. $516,000

B. $696,600

Explanation:

A. Calculation to to determine the value of the Company's equity

First step is to calculate the Net income

Sales1,540,000

Less: Cost of goods sold790,000

Less: General and administrative costs525,000

Less: Interest expenses53,000

Income before corporate tax 172,000

Less: Corporate tax 40% 68,800

(40%*172,000)

Net income103,200

(172,000-68,800)

Now let determine the value of the Company's equity using this formula

Value of the Company's equity

= Net income/ cost of the firm’s levered equity

Let plug in the formula

Value of the Company's equity = $103,200/0.20

Value of the Company's equity = $516,000

Therefore The Value of the Company's equity is $516,000

B. Calculation to determine the total value of Company equity

First step is to calculate the Debt

Debt equity Ratio = 0.35

Debt/Equity = 0.35

Debt/ $516,000 = 0.35

Debt = $516,000 * 0.35

Debt =$180,600

Now let determine The Company’s value using this formula

Company’s Total value = Equity + Debt

Let plug in the formula

Company’s Total value = $516,000 + $180,600

Company’s Total value = $696,600

Therefore the total value of Company equity is $696,600
