Yоu аre trying tо vаlue Cоle Slаw Motors (CSM), which is introducing a new garbage-powered automobile in the U.S.  You realize that the firm is in a risky industry and know there is a pretty high likelihood of financial distress.  Depending upon the success of this product, CSM will have a market value at the end of this year of $100 million, $250 million, or $1,000 million, with each outcome being equally likely. The risk-free discount rate is 4%, and there are 12 million shares outstanding.    Assuming perfect capital markets, what is the value of the firm and it equity? What is the price per share? Now, let’s add the imperfection of taxation to our market with a tax rate of 20%.  Assume CSM has $200 million in debt today charging an interest rate of 9%.  The company plans to issue new debt each year to fund growth, so debt is expected to grow at 5%.  Because of the EBIT risk, the discount rate on the tax shield is estimated at 11%.  2.  How does this change affect the value of the firm? Finally, let’s add the effect of financial distress costs. In the event of default (value of the firm falls below the debt repayment), 25% of the value of MI's value will be lost in bankruptcy costs.  Re-do your calculations above to come up with a value of the firm, debt, and equity if both financial distress and the tax shield are taken into consideration. 3.  What is the new value of the debt and equity?  

Dаniel аnd his friend Steve wоrked tоgether in the sаme оffice doing the same low-wage work. They always talked about how unfair it was that their boss did nothing all day and yet got paid so much more than them. One day, Daniel and Steve decided they would put on masks, wait for their boss to leave the office late at night, and rob him. However, Daniel and Steve did not know that their boss had just taken a week-long vacation and was not even in the office at that time. The security cameras caught the two in masks waiting outside the building, so Steve threw a rock at the camera, breaking it. The two were later arrested and eventually admitted to their plan.  Both Daniel and Steve were charged with attempted robbery and criminal damage to property.  Daniel argues he cannot be charged with attempted robbery since he could not actually complete the crime, and that he cannot be charged with criminal damage to property since Steve was the one who threw the rock and Daniel did not tell him to throw the rock. Discuss the validity of Daniels’ defenses.
