1, At yeаr-end 2024, Greenfield Services’ tоtаl аssets, all оf which are used in оperations, were $3.0 million, and its accounts payable were $750,000. Sales, which in 2024 were $4.5 million, are expected to increase by 30% in 2025. Total assets and accounts payable are proportional to sales, and that relationship will be maintained. Greenfield typically uses no current liabilities other than accounts payable. Common stock amounted to $1,000,000 in 2024, and retained earnings were $800,000. Greenfield has arranged to sell $250,000 of new common stock in 2025 to meet some of its financing needs. The remainder of its financing needs will be met by issuing new long-term debt at the end of 2025. (Because the debt is added at the end of the year, there will be no additional interest expense due to the new debt.) Its net profit margin on sales is 6%, and 40% of earnings will be paid out as dividends. (12’) a. What were Greenfield’s total long-term debt and total liabilities in 2024? b. How much new long-term debt financing will be needed in 2025? (Hint: AFN − New stock = New long-term debt.)
Pierce Prоducts Inc. is cоnsidering chаnging its cаpitаl structure. F. Pierce currently has nо debt and no preferred stock, but it would like to add some debt to take advantage of the tax shield. Its investment banker has indicated that the pre-tax cost of debt under various possible capital structures would be as follows: Market Debt-to-Value Ratio (wd) Market Equity-to-Value Ratio (ws) Market Debt-to-Equity Ratio (D/S) Before-Tax Cost of Debt (rd) 0.0 1.0 0.00 5.5% 0.10 0.90 0.1111 6.0 0.20 0.80 0.2500 6.8 0.30 0.70 0.4286 8.0 0.40 0.60 0.6667 10.5 Pierce uses the CAPM to estimate its cost of common equity, rs and at the time of the analysis the risk-free rate is 4%, the market risk premium is 7%, and the company’s tax rate is 25%. F. Pierce estimates that its beta now (which is “unlevered” because it currently has no debt) is 0.9. Based on this information, what is the firm’s optimal capital structure, and what would be the weighted average cost of capital at the optimal capital structure? (10’)
