...You work in the corporate finance Click Link Below To Buy: http://hwaid.com/shop/corporate-finance/ You work in the corporate finance division of The Home Depot and your boss has asked you to review the firm’s capital structure. Specifically, your boss is considering changing the firm’s debt level.Your boss remembers something from his MBA program about capital structure being irrelevant, but isn’t quite sure what that means. You know that capital structure is irrelevant under the conditions of perfect markets and will demonstrate this point for your boss by showing that the weighted average cost of capital remains constant under various levels of debt. So, for now, suppose that capital markets are perfect as you prepare responses for your boss. You would like to analyze relatively modest changes to Home Depot’s capital structure. You would like to consider two scenarios: the firm issues $1 billion in new debt to repurchase stock, and the firm issues $1 billion in new stock to repurchase debt. Use Excel to answer the following questions using Eq. 14.5 and Eq. 14.6, and assuming a cost of unlevered equity (rU) of 12 percent. Obtain the financial information you need for Home Depot. Go to www.nasdaq.com, click “Summary Quotes” on the left-hand side, and enter Home Depot’s stock symbol (HD). Click “Go.” From the Summary Quotes page, get the current stock price and number of shares outstanding. Click “Company Financials” and the annual income statement should...

...1 Tax Credits / Alternative Minimum Tax Federal Tax I Fall 2012 OVERVIEW: This handout summarizes the Tax Credits and Alternative Minimum Tax topics in chapter 7 of your textbook. These are the last topics we will be covering this semester, and as previously discussed I am providing this handout supplementing the material contained in your text due to the time we lost because of Storm Sandy. The material on Tax Credits is contained on pages 7-23 – 7-34 (11 pages) of your textbook. The material on AMT (Alternative Minimum Tax) is covered on pages 7-8 – 7-14 (7 pages). So this is only 18 pages of chapter 7. We covered the rest of chapter 7 earlier this semester prior to exam 2. Tax Credits: As you will recall from very early in the semester, tax credits are a direct dollar for dollar reduction of our income tax liability. We looked at the value of a tax credit compared to the value of a tax deduction. Tax credits can either be nonrefundable or refundable. A nonrefundable credit will reduce a taxpayer’s tax liability, but never below zero. A refundable credit, on the other hand, will go even further. If the credit is large enough to reduce a taxpayer’s tax liability to zero, the excess credit will be refunded to the taxpayer (i.e. treated as additional tax paid in. Example 1: Tom has a tax liability of $ 3,000, a nonrefundable credit of $ 4,000, and federal tax withheld of $ 1,500. Calculate Tom’s refund: Tax Liability Less: credit Net tax Less Withholding Refund $ 3,000 ( 3...
