4-8)  You want to buy a car, and a local bank will lend you $20,000.  The loan would be fully amortized over 5 years (60 months), and the nominal interest rate would be 12%, with interest paid monthly.  What is the monthly loan payment?  What is the loan’s EFF%? 

5-9) The Garraty Company has two bond issues outstanding.  Both bonds pay $100 annual interest plus $1000 at maturity.  Bond 1, has a maturity of 15 years, and Bond S has a maturity of 1 year.

a) What will the value be of each of these bonds when the going rate of interest is (1) 5%, (2) 8%, (3) 12%?  Assume that there is only one more interest payment to be made on Bond S. 

b) Why does the longer-term (15 year) bond fluctuate more when interest rates change than does the shorter-term bond (1 year)? 

6-6)The market and Stock J have the following probability distributions:

Probability                                       Rm                                  Rj

0.3                                                    15%                                 20%

0.4                                                       9                                     5

0.3                                                      18                                  12

a)  Calculate the expected rates of return for the market and Stock J.

b) Calculate the standard deviations for the market and Stock J.

6-8)As an equity analyst you are concerned with what will happen to the required return to Universal Toddle Industries’s stock as market conditions change.  Suppose rrf = 5%, rm = 12 % and B UTI = 1.4

a. Under current conditions, what is r uti, the required rate of return on UTI stock? 

b. Now suppose rrf (1) increases to 6% or (2) decreases to 4%.  The slope of the SML remains constant.  How would this affect rm and r uti?

c. Now assume rrf remains at 5% but rm (1) increases to 14% or (2) falls to 11%.  The slope of the SML does not remain constant.  How would these changes affect R uti?

7-17) Kendra Enterprises has never paid a dividend.  Free cash flow is projected to be $80,000 and $100,000 for the next 2 years, respectively; after the second year, FCF is expected to grow at a constant rate of 8%.  The company’s weighted average cost of capital is 12%. 

a. What is the terminal, or horizon, value of operations?  (Hint: find the value of all free cash flows beyond year 2 discounted back to year 2).

b. Calculate the value of Kendra’s operations.

8-3)Assume that you have been given the following information on Purcell Industries:

       Current stock price = $ 15                                   Strike price of option = $15

       Time to maturity of option = 6 months                  Risk-free rate = 6%

       Variance of stock return = 0.12                 

       d1 = 0.24495                                                                N(d1) = 0.59675

       d2 = 0.00000                                                                N(d2) = 0.50000

According to the Black-Scholes option pricing model, what is the option’s values? 

9-7) Shi Importers’s balance sheet shows $300 million in debt, $50 million in preferred stock, and $250 million in total common equity.  Shi’s tax rate is 40%, rd = 6%, rps = 5.8%, and rs = 12%.  If Shi has a target capital structure of 30% debt, 5% preferred stock, and 65% common stock, what is its WACC?    

9-11)  RadonHomes’s current EPS is $6.50.  It was $4.42, 5 years ago.  The company pays out 40% of its earnings as dividends, and the stock sells for $36.00. 

a) Calculate the historical growth rate in earnings.  (hint: this is a 5-year growth period). 

b) Calculate the next expected dividend per share, D1.  (hint: D0 = 0.4($6.50 = $2.60).  Assume that the past growth rate will continue. 

c) What is Radon’s cost of equity, rs?

12-2)  Refer to problem 12-1.  What would be the additional funds needed if the company’s year end 2013 assets had been $7 million?  Assume that all other numbers, including sales, are the same as in Problem 12-1 and that the company is operating at full capacity.  Why is the AFN different from the one you found in Problem 12-1?  Is the company’s “capital intensity” ratio the same or different?
