XYZ, Inc. is an all-equity firm, with 1 million shares outstanding that trade for a price of $19.95 per share.
OPQ, Inc. on the other hand, has 2 million shares outstanding, and $10 million in debt (par value) which currently trade at 110.
Assume that both firms have identical assets and identical cash flows.
According to the MM Proposition I without tax, what would be the stock price per share for firm OPQ?
As per MM Proposition I without tax, Value of levered firm equals value of unlevered firm
XYZ Inc is an all-equity firm and hence an unlevered firm.
XYZ Value = Shares Outstanding * Trading price per share = 1,000,000*$19.95 = $19.95 Million
OPQ Inc. is an levered firm. The value of OPQ Inc. will equal value of XYZ Inc at $19.95 Million as per MM Proposition I without tax
Thus, (Value of Debt + value of Equity) of OPQ Inc = Value of XYZ Inc
Let the stock price of OPQ be X
($10 Million * 110/100)+(2,000,000*X) = $19.95 Million
= $11,000,000+(2,000,000*X) = $19,950,000
=(2,000,000*X) = $19,950,000-$11,000,000
=(2,000,000*X) = $8,950,000
=X = $8,950,000 / 2,000,000 = $4.475
The stock price per share for firm OPQ = $4.475
