Kaelea, Inc., has no debt outstanding and a total market value of $81,000. Earnings before interest and taxes, EBIT, are project

ed to be $9,800 if economic conditions are normal. If there is strong expansion in the economy, then EBIT will be 23 percent higher. If there is a recession, then EBIT will be 32 percent lower. The company is considering a $23,100 debt issue with an interest rate of 8 percent. The proceeds will be used to repurchase shares of stock. There are currently 5,400 shares outstanding. Assume Kaelea has a tax rate of 40 percent.
Required:
a. Calculate earnings per share, EPS, under each of the three economic scenarios before any debt is issued.
b. Calculate the percentage changes in EPS when the economy expands or enters a recession.
c. Calculate earnings per share, EPS, under each of the three economic scenarios after the recapitalization.
d. Calculate the percentage changes in EPS when the economy expands or enters a recession.

Answer:

a. We have:

EPS under normal = $1.09 per share

EPS under expansion = $1.34 per share

EPS under recession = $0.74 per share

b. We have:

Percentage changes in EPS when the economy expands = 23%

Percentage changes in EPS when the economy enters recession = –32%

c. We have:

EPS under normal after recapitalization = $1.24

EPS under expansion after recapitalization = $1.59 per share

EPS under recession after recapitalization = $0.75 per share

d. We have:

Percentage changes in EPS after recapitalization when the economy expands = 28.23%

Percentage changes in EPS when the economy enters recession = –39.52%

Explanation:

a. Calculate earnings per share, EPS, under each of the three economic scenarios before any debt is issued.

Shares outstanding = 5,400

Net income under normal = EBIT under normal - (EBIT under normal * Tax rate) = $9,800 - ($9,800 * 40%) = $5,880

EPS under normal = Net income under normal / Shares outstanding = $5,880 / 5,400 = $1.09 per share

Net income under expansion = (EBIT under normal * (100% + Percentage increase in EBIT)) - ((EBIT under normal * (100% + Percentage increase in EBIT)) * Tax rate) = ($9,800 * (100% + 23%)) – (($9,800 * (100% + 23%))* 40%) = $7,232.40

EPS under expansion = Net income under expansion / Shares outstanding = $7,232.40 / 5,400 = $1.34 per share

Net income under recession = (EBIT under normal * (100% - Percentage decrease in EBIT)) - ((EBIT under normal * (100% - Percentage decrease in EBIT)) * Tax rate) = ($9,800 * (100% - 32%)) – (($9,800 * (100% - 32%))* 40%) = $3,998.40

EPS under recession = Net income under recession / Shares outstanding = $3,998.40 / 5,400 = $0.74 per share

b. Calculate the percentage changes in EPS when the economy expands or enters a recession.

Percentage changes in EPS when the economy expands = ((EPS under expansion - EPS under normal) / EPS under normal) * 100 = (($1.34 - $1.09) / $1.09) * 100 = 23%

Percentage changes in EPS when the economy enters recession = ((EPS under recession - EPS under normal) / EPS under normal) * 100 = (($0.74 - $1.09) / $1.09) * 100 = –32%

c. Calculate earnings per share, EPS, under each of the three economic scenarios after the recapitalization.

Market price per share = Total market value / Shares outstanding before recapitalization = $81,000 / 5,400 = $15

Number of shares to repurchase = Debt amount / Market price per share = $23,100 / $15 = 1,540

Shares outstanding after recapitalization = Shares outstanding before recapitalization - Number of shares to repurchase = 5,400 – 1,540 = 3,860

Interest on debt = Debt amount * Interest rate = $23,100 * 8% = $1,848

Net income under normal after recapitalization = EBIT under normal – Interest on debt - ((EBIT under normal – Interest on debt) * Tax rate) = $9,800 - $1,848 - (($9,800 - $1,848) * 40%) = $4,771.20

EPS under normal after recapitalization = Net income under normal after recapitalization / Shares outstanding after recapitalization = $4,771.20 / 3,860 = $1.24

EBIT under expansion = EBIT under normal * (100% + Percentage increase in EBIT) = ($9,800 * (100% + 23%)) = $12,054

Net income under expansion after recapitalization = EBIT under expansion – Interest on debt – ((EBIT under expansion – Interest on debt) * Tax rate) = $12,054 - $1,848 - (($12,054 - $1,848) * 40%) = $6,123.60

EPS under expansion after recapitalization = Net income under expansion after recapitalization / Shares outstanding after recapitalization = $6,123.60 / 3,860 = $1.59 per share

EBIT under recession = EBIT under normal * (100% - Percentage decrease in EBIT) = ($9,800 * (100% - 32%)) = $6,664

Net income under recession after recapitalization = EBIT under recession – Interest on debt – ((EBIT under recession – Interest on debt) * Tax rate) = $6,664 - $1,848 - (($6,664 - $1,848) * 40%) = $2,889.60

EPS under recession after recapitalization = Net income under recession after recapitalization / Shares outstanding after recapitalization = $2,889.60 / 3,860 = $0.75 per share

d. Calculate the percentage changes in EPS when the economy expands or enters a recession.

Percentage changes in EPS after recapitalization when the economy expands = ((EPS under expansion after recapitalization - EPS under normal after recapitalization) / EPS under normal after recapitalization) * 100 = (($1.59 - $1.24) / $1.24) * 100 = 28.2%

Percentage changes in EPS when the economy enters recession = ((EPS under recession - EPS under normal) / EPS under expansion) * 100 = (($0.75 - $1.24) / $1.24) * 100 = –39.52%

Entrepeneur is a person who organizes, operates, and assumes the risk for a business venture so a cleaning supplies business is run by an entrepreneur. But a musician also operates a business and assumes risk. In my opinion both are entrepreneurs. But the person with the cleaning bisiness is for sure!

STALIN [3.7K]

Answer:

A. the risk of wind damage is potentially diversifiable, but the risk of flooding is not

Explanation:

Based on the scenario being described it can be said that the best explanation for these different approaches would be that the risk of wind damage is potentially diversifiable, but the risk of flooding is not. Meaning that  most insurance companies cover wind damage because it is most likely during a hurricane but flooding may be a unique situation which is not always covered by most insurance companies/policies.

Which of the below individuals has the best capacity to pay back a loan?
insens350 [35]

Answer:

D. John

Explanation:

John has an annual income of $100,000 which is equivalent to a monthly salary of $ 8,334.00 ($100,000 divide by 12 months)

Applying the 28/36 borrowing rule, Mr. John cannot exceed 36 percent of his monthly income to service debts. It means that John has $ 3000 available every month to service his loans.

John intends to take a loan of $ 10,000. This amount is within his ability to pay. Even if he has other debts, he only needs months to clear the loan plus interest.

If we apply the same rule to Paul, his monthly salary is $2, 084.00. He has $ 750.00 available to pay the loan every month. A loan of $ 50,000 with interest will take about seven years to clear. Considering he may want to take other loans in that period and the value of the car by then, Paul is likely to default.

Eileen will have  $720 available for repayments per month and annually $ 8640.00 to repay $400,000.00; she will need about 47 years. Considering her age, it's not viable.
