For total cash flows of
borrowing
Suppose there are no taxes. Firm ABC has no debt, and firm XYZ has debt of $5000 on which it pays interest of 10% each year. Both companies have
identical projects that generate free cash flows of $800 or $1000 each year. After paying any interest on debt, both companies use all remaining free cash
flows to pay dividends each year.
Suppose you hold 10% of the equity of ABC. What is another portfolio you could hold that would provide the
same cash flows?
Suppose you hold 10% of the equity of XYZ. If you can borrow at 10%, what is an alternative strategy that would provide the same cash flows?

Zetatron is an all-equity firm with 100 million shares outstanding, which are currently trading for $7.50 per share. A month ago, Zetatron announced it will change its capital structure by
borrowing $100 million in short-term debt, borrowing $100 million in long-term debt, and issuing $100 million of preferred stock. The $300 million raised by these issues, plus another $50
million in cash that Zetatron already has, will be used to repurchase existing shares of stock. The transaction is scheduled to occur today. Assume perfect capital markets.

Problem 14-20
What is Yerbas forward P/E ratio after this transaction? Is this change in the P/E ratio
reasonable? Explain.
Yerba Industries is an all-equity firm whose stock has a beta of 1.2 and an expected return of
12.5%. Suppose it issues new risk-free debt with a 5% yield and repurchases 40% of its stock.
Assume perfect capital markets.
What is the beta of Yerba stock after this transaction?
What is the expected return of Yerba stock after this transaction?
Suppose that prior to this transaction, Yerba expected earnings per share this coming year of
$1.50, with a forward P/E ratio (that is, the share price divided by the expected earnings for
the coming year) of 14.
What is Yerbas expected earnings per share after this transaction? Does this change
benefit shareholders? Explain.
