Q

Methods to compare projects with unequal lives

A
  1. Least common multiple of lives
    * The cash flows (including the repeated investment needs to be broken out)*
  2. Equivalent annual annuity approach
    * - If this is a one-shot project vs. investment chain, the project with the greatest NPV should be chosen.*

Q

Economic income / ΔMarket Value / Economic Rate of Return

A

EI = After tax operating cash flow - change in Market Value

ΔMV = NPV of future cash flows at beginning of period - NPV of future cash flows at end of period. Each year’s ending MV = the nex year’s beginning MV

ERR = EI / Beginning MV

MAKE SURE YOU ONLY INCLUDE FUTURE CASH FLOWS (NOT CURRENT) CASH FLOWS FROM THE END OF THE YEAR TO CALCULATE THE NPV.

Q

Accounting Income

A
  1. Includes interest expense (rather than just assuming it is embedded in the discount rate)
  2. Is net income so depreciation is not added back

DO NOT FORGET TO SUBTRACT INTEREST BEFORE TAXES SINCE THIS WILL PROBABLY NOT BE ALREADY DONE.

Q

Economic Profit Definition

A
  1. What the company has after debt and equity holders are paid required rate of return.
  2. Economic Profit = NOPAT - $WACC
    - NOPAT = Net operating profit after tax (does not include interest) EBIT(1-Tr)

Q

WACC

A

= D/v(rD)(1-Tr) + E/v(rE)

    • r = marginal cost of equity or debt
  • Marginal = What it will cost to raise additional capital
  • The weight is calculated from the “Value” of the firm. WACC goes down when debt is added even though debt increases the Re.*
31
Q

MM Proposition I without Taxes

A
  1. There are no costs, lending is at Rfr and markets are efficient
  2. Therefore there are no difference in value based on capital structure
  3. Leveraged and unleveraged firms are equal and differences are irrelevant
  4. Investors can create their own capital structures by leveraging their investment
32
Q

MM Proposition II (without taxes)
Include Regression Equation for Cost of Equity

A
  1. The cost of equity is a positive linear function of the company’s debt-equity ratio: Re = Ro + D/E(Ro-Rd)
    * - Ro = cost of equity for unlevered firm*
  2. Because debt has a priority over equity
  3. WACC remains same regardless of adjustments in D/E
33
Q

Total Value of Company under Proposition II without Taxes

A

V = Int/Rd + EBT/Re

    • This assumes that debt and earnings are perpetuities so the perpetuity formula shoudl be used.*
    • Remember to net out interest payments from EBT*
34
Q

Cost of Equity MM II with Taxes

A

Re = Ro + [(Ro-Rd)(1-Tr)(D/E)]

35
Q

Value of Vl and Vu firms

A
  1. Vl = Vu without taxes
  2. Vl = Vu + (Tr)(D)
  3. Ve + Vd = Vl
  4. Ve + Vd = Vu + (Tr)(D)
  5. Vu = Ve + Vd(1-Tr)
36
Q

Calculate Vu and Vl assuming taxes
EBIT = 10,000
TR = .4
Re = .1
Rd = .06
Vd = 25,000

A 
Vu = EBIT(1-t) / RWacc
10,000(.06)/.1 = $60,000

Vl = Vu + (Tr X D)
$60,000 + 10,000 = $70,000

37
Q

The costs of financial distress and bankruptcy

A
  1. Direct costs (legal, admin etc.)
  2. Indirect costs (lost opportunity, impaired brand etc.)
38
Q

Agency Costs

A
  1. Monitoring Costs (shareholders keeping an eye on management)
  2. Bonding Costs (management’s costs to reassure shareholders - insurance etc)
  3. Residual Loss (costs that can’t be eliminated through monitoring or bonding)
39
Q

Jensen’s Free Cash Flow Hypothesis

A

Higher levels of debt require managers to be more careful about cash flow and minimize potential to misuse funds.

40
Q

The Optimal Capital Structure: Static Trade-off Theory

A

Vl = Vu + Tr(D) - PV(Costs of Financial Distress)

- The value is maximized when the PV of financial distress is equal to the advantage of getting more debt. The WACC will start increasing at this point.

41
Q

Dividend Irrelevance Theory

A
  • With no taxes and efficient market investors could create thier own dividends
    1. Stock volatility cold make this difficult
    2. Transaction costs are also an issue
    3. If dividends are taxed at higher rate than cap gains then investors should favor low dividend stocks
42
Q

Expected Decrease in Share Price after Ex-Dividend

A

Pw - Px = (1 - Td) / (1 - Tcg) X D

Pw - Px: Right to get the div vs. no div

Td, Tcg: Tax on dividends vs. tax on capital gains

D: Dividend

- If D=$1 then formula tells you how much that $1 is worth in capital gains

43
Q

Implications of Expected Share Price Change after ex-Dividend

A
  1. If Td = Tcg then the stock should drop by the amount of the dividend
  2. If Td > Tcg then the stock will drop by less than the dividend
  3. If Td < Tcg then the stock will fall by more than the dividend
44
Q

Double Taxation regime formula for ETR

A

ETR = CTR + [(1-CTR) X MTRd]

    • ETR: Effective Tax Rate*
    • CTR: Corporate Tax Rate*
    • MTRd: Marginal Tax Rate on dividends*
45
Q

Dividend Imputation System formula for ETR

A

ETR = Tliability of Investor / Pretax NI

(CTr * Pretax NI) - (InvestorTr * Pretax NI) = Net tax credit/liability

46
Q

Split Rate Tax System Formula for ETR

A

ETR = CTrD + [(1-CTrD) X MTrD]

Corporate Tr on Divs: .20
Corporate Tr on RE: .35
Invstrs Marginal Tr on Divs: .15

.15 = .20 + [(.80) X .15]

47
Q

Dividend Policy Types: Stable (formula for growth)

A

Stable dividend policy: Don’t raise it until you are sure you can sustain it.

Expected Dividend increase = +ΔNI X Target P.O. X Adjustment Factor

Adjustment Factor = 1/N (n= number of years adjustment will take place)

48
Q

Dividend Policy Types (Constant Dividend Payout) Formula

A
  • A constant % of EPS
49
Q

Dividend Policy Types (Residual) formula

A
  1. NI - [(Project investments) X (% of equityrequired for project))] = Dividend
  2. NI - [Capex Spending X % of equity in D/E ratio] = Dividend
50
Q

Effect of Share Buybacks on BS and IS

A
  1. If earnings yield is less than debt costs EPS falls
  2. If BB is financed with assets, leverage increases EPS may also fall if those assets could have returned at least the company’s WACC.
51
Q

Dividend Payout Ratio vs. Dividend Coverage Ratio

A

DPO: Dividends / NI

DCR: NI / Dividends

52
Q

Free Cash Flow to Equity Coverage Ratio

A

FCFE CR = FCFE / [Dividends + ShareBB]

FCFE = CFO - FCinv + NetBorrowing

  1. If ratio is greater than 1 then company is retaining earnings
  2. Less than 1 then company is borrowing cash to pay dividends+BB
53
Q

Corporate Governance Definition

A

Policies, principles, and procedures that are clearly defined in order for stakeholders (equity and management) to resolve conflicts.

54
Q

Objectives of Corporate Governance

A
  1. Eliminate conflicts of interest between stakeholders2. Ensure that assets are used in best interest of investors and stakeholders2:15
55
Q

Principle Agent Problem

A

Managers (agents) may pursue interests that differ from the stake holders. 14:30

56
Q

Good Corporate Governance Describes the Rights and/or Responsibilities of Stakeholders?

A

NAME?

57
Q

Forms of M&A Integration

A
  1. Statutory merger: Target ceases to exist
  2. Subsidiary merger: Target remains (usually because of valuable brand)
  3. Consolidations: Both acquireror and target cease and new entity emerges
58
Q

Requirements for Bootstrapping Effect

A

Bootstrapping - The new entity has more EPS than the other two entities not because of an economic advantage but because of the merger.

  1. Acquirer must have a P/E ratio that is greater than the target
  2. Acquirer’s P/E doesn’t fall after the merger.
59
Q

Poison Pills (3-types) + Puts

A
  1. Flip in pill: Target shareholders can buy target shares at discount
  2. Flip over pill: Target shareholders can buy acquirer shares at discount
  3. Dead hand: Pill can only be cancelled by vote of continuing directors
  4. Poison puts: Target’s bond holders can sell thier bonds back to target at par or above. (acquirer will need to raise a lot more capital to pay off bond holders)
60
Q

Herfindahl-HIrschman Index (HHI)

A

HHI = ∑(Sales of firm i / total sales of market x 100)^2

  1. HHI of less than 1,000 indicates market is not concentrated
  2. HHI between 1,000 and 1,800 moderately concentrated - Merger will be challenged if HHI increases by 100 points or more.
  3. HHI above 1,800 is highly concentrated - Merger will be challenged if HHI increases by more than 50 points.
61
Q

Target Company Valuation: DCF - Step One

A

Calculate PV of FCFF from NI from Proforma I.S. for the period analyst is confident about forecasts…

FCFF Calculation

  1. Net operating profit after tax (NOPAT)
    - Net income
    + Interest after tax (int X (1-Tr))
    Unlevered income
    + Change in deferred taxes (YoY Δ in taxes from I.S.)
    NOPLAT
    + Depreciation
    - Δ Working Capital
    - Capex
    Free Cash Flow

- Change in defferred taxes is just the difference between the current year’s DT and the year before on the income statment.

62
Q

Target Company Valuation: DCF - Step Two

A

The PV of the terminal value of the target.

  1. Contstant Growth Model
    [FCFF last year in stage one X (1+G)] / (WACC - G)
  2. Relative valuation model
    FCFF last year in stage one X expected valuation multiple (estimate)
63
Q

Target Company Valuation DCF: Discount Rate?

A
  1. Non-control then use target’s WACC
  2. Potential merger then adjust the WACC to account for additional merger risk
64
Q

Target Company Valuation: Comparable Company Analysis

A
  1. Comparable companies are identified
  2. Average valuation multiples are calculated (PE, P/BV etc.)
  3. Multipes are then applied to target plus a takeover premium and the average estimated stock price is calculated.
  4. Repeat that process for takeover premium + Step 3 value
65
Q

Target Company Valuation: Comparable Transaction Analysis

A

No need to create separate multiples and acquisition premium since estimates are derived from comparable companies that are post merger.

  1. Identify merged company comparisons
  2. Caculate valuation multiples based on transaction valuation and calculate average
  3. Apply average valuations to target company
66
Q

Post Merger Value of A*

A

Va* = Va + Vt + S - C

Va: Value of A before merger

Vt: Value of t before merger

S: Synergies

C: Cash paid to target’s shareholders

67
Q

Takeover Premium, Synergies and Acquirer’s gain

A
  1. Target’s gain (Takeover Premium) = (Cash + Stock Value) - Original MV
  2. Acquirer’s gain = Synergies - TP
  3. TP + Acquirer’s Gain = Synergies
68
Q

Forms of Restructuring (4 types)

A
  1. Equity Carve Out: New entity’s shares offered to outsiders (cash inflow)
  2. Spin off: New entity’s shares are issued to existing P’s shareholders
  3. Split off: New entity’s shares are offered to existing shareholders in exchange for P’s shares.
  4. Liquidation: Assets sold off piecemeal - usually a bankruptcy
69
Q

Pooling of Interest vs. Acquisition Method

A
  • Pooling assets are brought over at BV and no good will is recognized on BS
  • Acquisition method assets are brought over at fair value adn GW is on BS
70
Q

IFRS vs. GAAP recognition of Goodwill

A

GAAP calculates goodwill based on the fair value of the entity minus the fair value of the company’s net assets (Full Goodwill)

IFRS calculates good will based on full goodwill or based on the fair value of the acquisition consideration minus the fair value of the acquirers percentage of the net assets.

  • T has 900K in net assets but whole company is worth 1MM. A pays 800K for 80% interest in T. *
  • GAAP & IFRS: 1MM - 900K = 100K goodwill (full goodwill)*
  • IFRS: 800K - ( 900 X 80%) = 80K goodwill (partial goodwill)*
71
Q

WACC when the inflation rate is given

A

Inflation WACC = (1+WACC) X (1+inflation)
