Consider an all-equity firm with 125,000 shares outstanding.
Assume that EBIT=800,000 and that EBIT will remain constant, the
firm pays out all profits (EPS = dividends per share) as dividends,
and that its tax rate is 40%. If the firm’s beta is 1.1, the
risk-free rate is 4%, and the market risk premium is 6%, what is
the firm’s stock price according to the dividend growth
model?
Now assume the firm is considering issuing $1.2m in debt at
before-tax cost of 7%, using the proceeds to repurchase stock at
the share price from #1. If this capital structure adjustment
results in a debt-to-equity ratio of .25 for the firm, what will
the stock’s price be after recapitalization?
