Subject:BusinessPrice: Bought3

1)Your company has a 35% tax rate and has $511 million in assets, currently financed entirely with equity. Equity is worth $41.10 per share, and book value of equity is equal to market value of equity. Also, let's assume that the firm's expected values for EBIT depend upon which state of the economy occurs this year, with the possible values of EBIT and their associated probabilities as shown below:

 

State Recession Average Boom  

Probability of State .25 .50 .25  

Expect EBIT in State $61 million $111 million $181 million

 

The firm is considering switching to a 25-percent debt capital structure, and has determined that they would have to pay a 8 percent yield on perpetual debt in either event. What will be the level of expected EPS if they switch to the proposed capital structure? (Round your intermediate calculations and final answer to 2 decimal places except calculation of number of shares which should be rounded to nearest whole number.)

 

2.Your company has a 35% tax rate and has $752 million in assets, currently financed entirely with equity. Equity is worth $50.20 per share, and book value of equity is equal to market value of equity. Also, let's assume that the firm's expected values for EBIT depend upon which state of the economy occurs this year, with the possible values of EBIT and their associated probabilities as shown below:

 

State Recession Average Boom  

Probability of State .20 .55 .25  

Expect EBIT in State $102 million $177 million $237 million

 

The firm is considering switching to a 15-percent debt capital structure, and has determined that they would have to pay a 11 percent yield on perpetual debt in either event. What will be the standard deviation in EPS if they switch to the proposed capital structure? (Round your intermediate calculations and final answer to 2 decimal places except calculation of number of shares which should be rounded to nearest whole number.)
