Pendergast, Inc., has no debt outstanding, and has a total market value of $180,000. Earnings before interest and taxes (EBIT) a

re projected to be $23,000 if economic conditions are normal. If there is a strong expansion in the economy, then EBIT will be 20% higher. If there is a recession, then EBIT will be 30% lower. Pendergast is considering a $75,000 debt issue with a 7% interest rate. The proceeds will be used to repurchase shares of stock. There are currently 6,000 shares of stock outstanding, and the relevant tax rate is 35%.
Required:

(a) Calculate the return on equity (ROE) under each of the three economic scenarios before any debt is issued. (Round your answers to 2 decimal places. (e.g., 32.16)).

(b) Calculate the percentage changes in ROE when the economy expands or enters a recession. (Negative amounts should be indicated by a minus sign.)

Answer:

return on equity (ROE) = net income / shareholders' equity

shareholders' equity = $180,000

economic scenarios:

  1. normal ⇒ EBIT = $23,000
  2. economic expansion ⇒ EBIT = $27,600
  3. economic recession ⇒ EBIT = $16,100

additionally, $75,000 in debt will be used to repurchase stocks, so shareholders' equity = $180,000 - $75,000 = $105,000

interest on the loan = $75,000 x 7% = $5,250

tax rate = 35%

net income in 3 economic scenarios:

  1. normal ⇒ ($23,000 - $5,250) x 0.65 = $11,537.50
  2. economic expansion ⇒ ($27,600 - $5,250) x 0.65 = $14,527.50
  3. economic recession ⇒ ($16,100 - $5,250) x 0.65 = $7,052.50

A) ROE under 3 different economic scenarios:

  1. normal = $11,537.50 / $105,000 = 10.99%
  2. economic expansion = $14,527.50 / $105,000 = 13.84%
  3. economic recession = $7,052.50 / $105,000 = 6.72%

B)

When the economy expands, the ROE will increase by 11.46% compared to the normal economic activity [= (13.84% - 10.99%) / 10.99%]

When the economy enters a recession, the ROE will decrease by -38.85% compared to the normal economic activity [= (6.72% - 10.99%) / 10.99%]

In 2011 oil production in Libya was interrupted by political unrest. At the same time, the demand for oil by China continued to
vampirchik [111]

Answer:

Quantity of oil bought & sold would depend upon relative change i.e increase & decrease in demand & supply respectively.

  • ↑Dd = ↓Sy : Qty same
  • ↑Dd > ↓Sy : Qty ↑
  • ↑Dd < ↓Sy : Qty ↓

Explanation:

Libya is an exporter of Oil to China. It implies china's demand for oil is satisfied by Libya's imports.

Usual markets are at equilibrium when market demand = market supply, demand & supply curves intersect.

Political unrest in Libya decreasing oil production, would decrease supply (exported) of oil to China & sift supply curve leftwards. Simultaneously, increase in China demand for oil would shift the demand curve rightwards. These changes in demand, supply would create excess demand. Excess demand would cause competition among buyers & increase the new equilibrium price.

However, <u>Quantity </u>of oil bought & sold would depend upon relative change , shift in demand & supply. If increase in demand is equal to decrease in supply, the quantity would remain<u> same.</u> If increase in demand is more than  decrease in supply, quantity will <u>increase</u>. If increase in demand is less than decrease in supply, the quantity will <u>decrease.</u>
