This dividend policy ensures that the company has enough capital to fund profitable projects and minimize its cost of capital through maintaining its optimal capital structure. C Yes, a dividend of 9 million is reasonable as it is close to my dividend policy choice. 19 – 6 A The amount being raised is $500,000. This would be used to pay off $250,000 of line of credit and so the accounts payable would reduce to 400,000 – 250,000 = $ 150,000.

...(TCO D) Which of the following statements is most CORRECT? (a) If new debt is used to refund old debt, the correct discount rate to use in the refunding analysis is the before-tax cost of new debt. (b)The key benefits associated with refunding debt are the reduction in the firm's debt ratio and the creation of more reserve borrowing capacity. (c)The mechanics of finding the NPV of a refunding decision are fairly straightforward. However, the decision of when to refund is not always clear because it requires a forecast of future interest rates. (d) If a firm with a positive NPV refunding project delays refunding and interest rates rise, the firm can still obtain the entire NPV by locking in a low coupon rate when the rates are low, even though it actually refunds the debt after rates have risen. (e) Suppose a firm is considering refunding and interest rates rise during a time when the analysis is being done. The rise in rates would tend to lower the expected price of the new bonds, which would make them cheaper to the firm, and thus increase the expected interest savings. Answer is: c Chapter 20, pp. 810 - 815 (TCO D) Tuttle Buildings Inc. has decided to go public by selling $5,000,000 of new common stock.

Stockholders of the company can benefit from the higher financial provided that the returns of the acquired firm are greater than the cost of financing. In such a case the value of the firm would be increased. 4. MBO’s can prevent a company from being acquired by external sources or from being shut down completely. 5. Since the management understand and have been involved in the running of the business to be acquired, the commercial due diligence that is usually undertaken when a company is acquired should be easier and less time-consuming. The disadvantages of LBO’s are as below: 1. Corporate restructure, arising out of LBO can greatly impact the employees of the company. This occurs...

Equity financing = $8,400,000(0.60) = $5,040,000 2011 Dividends = Net income - Equity financing = $14,400,000 - $5,040,000 = $9,360,000 All of the equity financing is done with retained earnings as long as they are available. 4. The regular dividends would be 10% above the 2010 dividends: Regular dividends = (1.10)($3,600,000) = $3,960,000. The residual policy calls for dividends of $9,360,000. Therefore, the extra dividend, which would be stated as such, would be: Extra dividend = $9,360,000 - $3,960,000 = $5,400,000. An even better use of the surplus funds might be a stock repurchase. b. Policy 4, based on the regular dividend with an extra, seems most logical. Implemented properly, it would lead to the correct capital budget and the correct financing of that budget, and it would give correct signals to investors. ...

...James Holliday April 3, 2011 FI516 IPO Paper Identify the company and its industry. Pandora Media, Inc. is an internet streaming radio service used by more than 80 million listeners. Pandora, which has a catalog of 800,000 songs from more than 80,000 artists, has roughly half the market for Internet radio in 2010, according to a study published in November by Ando Media. Though the service is wildly popular, it has yet to make a profit. The Internet radio station generates playlists based on a user's favorite artist or song. As part of the company's Music Genome Project, songs are analyzed according to musical features -- including details of instrumentation, harmony, lyrics, melody, rhythm, and vocals. Users enter the name of a song, and Pandora creates a playlist of songs with similar characteristics. Pandora's service, free to its more than 80 million registered users and available only in the US, is supported by local and national advertising. Pandora chief strategy officer Tim Westergren founded the company in 2000 and it filed for an IPO in 2011. Discuss important financial and other facts about the company from its SEC filings. In its papers filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission, Pandora reported a $16.8-million loss on $55.2 million in revenue for its fiscal year ended Jan. 31, 2010. From Feb. 1, 2010 through Oct. 31, Pandora narrowed its losses to $328,000 on $90.1 million in revenue. Because Pandora is largely a free service, only 9% of its...

...FI516 A. Here are the basic Definitions that relate to capital structure: V= Value of Firm WACC=Weighted average Cost of Capital FCF= Free Cash Flow rs And rd = Costs of stock and debt wce And wd = percentages of the firm that are financed with stock and debt Impact of capital structure is based upon the value of the effect that the debt have on the Weighted Average Cost of Capital and/or the Free Cash Flow. The debt holders, compared to the stockholders, have prior claim on cash flow. The residual claim of stockholders increases the risk when the debt holders fixed claim increases, which in turn causes the stock to go up. Debt also increases the risk of bankruptcy to the company. This causes pre-taxed cost of debt to go up as well. Free Cash flow is also affected by additional debt. This can cause increase in the possibility of bankruptcy as well. An indirect cost would be a loss of customer, as a direct cost of distress would be legal fees. The indirect costs cause NOPAT to decrease. This is caused by the loss of customers, in turn causing the net operating working capital to increase. The effect that the managers have (or their behavior in most cases) is also effected by additional debt to the company. Managers will be come less likely to spend or waste their Free Cash Flow on opportunities that might in fact add value, or not add value and even the lack of risk in involving the company in any NPV projects that could indeed become prosperous for the company...
