Question

Monsters Incorporated (MI) is ready to launch a new product. Depending upon the success of this product, MI will have a value of $100 million, $150 million, or $191 million, with each outcome being equally likely. The cash flows are unrelated to the state of the economy and the cost of capital is equal to the risk-free rate, which is currently 5%. Assume that capital markets are perfect.


(d) Suppose that MI has zero-coupon debt with a $125 million face value due next year. The total value of MI with leverage is closest to:

(1) $133 million
(2) $140 million
(3) $147 million
(4) $125 million


(e) Assuming that in the event of default, 20% of the value of MI’s assets will be lost in bankruptcy costs, the initial value of MI’s equity without leverage is closest to:

(1) $150 million
(2) $147 million
(3) $140 million
(4) $133 million


(f) Assume that in the event of default, 20% of the value of MI’s assets will be lost in bankruptcy costs and suppose that MI has zero-coupon debt with a $125 million face value due next year. The total value of MI with leverage is closest to:

(1) $140 million
(2) $100 million
(3) $125 million
(4) $134 million
