Question

Market Value Capital Structure

Suppose the Schoof Company has this book value balance sheet:

The current liabilities consist entirely of notes payable to banks, and the interest rate on this debt is 10%, the same as the rate on new bank loans. These bank loans are not used for seasonal financing but instead are part of the company's permanent capital structure. The long-term debt consists of 30,000 bonds, each with a par value of $1,000, an annual coupon interest rate of 7%, and a 25-year maturity. The going rate of interest on new long-term debt, rd, is 12%, and this is the present yield to maturity on the bonds. The common stock sells at a price of $62 per share. Calculate the firm'smarket value capital structure. Round your answers to two decimal places.

%

Current assets $30,000,000 Current liabilities $10,000,000 Fixed assets 50,000,000 Long-term debt 30,000,000   Common stock   (1 million shares) 1,000,000 Retained earnings 39,000,000 Total assets $80,000,000 Total claims $80,000,000

Explanation / Answer

a. The book and market value of the current liabilities are both $10,000,000.

The bonds market value is:

V = $60(PVIFA10%,20) + $1,000(PVIF10%,20) = $60([1/0.10]-[1/(0.1(1+0.10)20)]) + $1,000((1+0.10)20)      = $60(8.5136) + $1,000(0.1486) = $510.82 + $148.60

V = $659.42.

Alternatively, using a financial calculator, input N = 20, I/YR = 10, PMT = 60, and FV = 1000 to arrive at PV = $659.46.

            The total market value of the long-term debt is 40,000($659.46) = $26,378,400.

      The total market value of the equity is $65,000,000 (there are 1 million shares of stock outstanding, and the stock sells for $65 per share.)

           

            The market value capital structure is thus:

           

Short-term debt

10,000,000

9.86%

Long-term debt

26,378,400

26.02%

Common equity

65,000,000

64.12%

101,378,400

100.00%

b.The weighted average cost of capital is:

WACC = (wd, ST)(rd)(1 - T) + (wd, LT)(rd)(1 - T) + (ws)(rs)

WACC = 9.86%(0.08)(1-0.40) + 26.02%(0.10)(1-0.40) + 64.12%(0.14) = 11.011%

Short-term debt

10,000,000

9.86%

Long-term debt

26,378,400

26.02%

Common equity

65,000,000
