Mоnsters Incоrpоrаted (MI) in reаdy to lаunch a new product. Depending upon the success of this product, MI will have a value at the end of this year of $120 million, $160 million, or $180 million, with each outcome being equally likely. The cash flows are unrelated to the state of the economy so that the project has a beta of 0 and a cost of capital equal to the risk-free rate, which is currently 5%. Assume that the capital markets are perfect except for financial distress costs. In the event of default, 20% of the value of MI's assets will be lost in bankruptcy costs. 1. What is the firm's initial value? Suppose that MI has zero-coupon debt with a $150 million face value due next year. 2. What is the value of debt, equity, and the firm with leverage and financial distress? Suppose that MI issues the debt and uses the proceeds to repurchase shares. 3. The share price following the announcement of the repurchase will be? 4. What is the cost of financial distress costs to the shareholders (actual value)? We assume that the cost of debt is 12%, the tax rate is 35%, the debt is perpetually rolled over (refinanced), and the risk of the tax shields is just as risky as the debt (and assuming this does not affect the financial distress costs already calculated above)? 5. What would be the new price per share?
