Answer:
Task a:
The answer is $24,500.
Task b:
The answer is 17%
Explanation:
<h2>Task a:</h2><h3>What is the maximum amount of new capital that can be raised at the LOWEST component cost of EQUITY?</h3><h3>Solution:</h3>
We already know the following:
Projected net income = $21,000
Payout ratio = 30%
Retention ratio = 70%
Debt share = 40%
Equity share = 60%
Maximum amount of capital to be raised at the lowest component cost of equity = Projected net income ×
= $21,000 × 
= $24,500
<h3>Answer:</h3>
The maximum amount of new capital that can be raised at the lowest component of equity is $24,500.
<h2>Task b:</h2><h3>What is the component cost of equity by selling new common stock?</h3><h3>Solution:</h3>
k(e) (component cost of external equity) = [Dividend (D0)(1 + growth) / stock price(1 - flotation cost)] + growth
Formula:
k(e) = 
+ 0.05
Where
Do = $2.00
G = 0.05
P = $21/88
= ($2.00(1 + 0.05) / $21.88(1-.20)) + 0.05
= ($2.10/$21.88(1-.20)) + 0.05
= ($2.10/$21.88(0.80) + 0.05
= 0.17 or 17%
<h3>Answer: </h3>
The component cost of equity by selling new common stock = 17%
Answer:
A. = (15% X $2M) + (21% X $2M) = $720,000. Since there is no mechanism for mitigating double taxation, the branch profit will be taxed on the to tax rate of 15% and 21% which is $300,000 and $420,000.
B. The total tax for $2m branch profit if US corporations can remove foreign based profit from US taxation will be just the 15% x $2m = $300,000.
C.If they are allowed to take deductions for foreign income taxes, the total tax on the $2m branch profit will be (21% -15%) x $2m = $120,000.
Explanation:
D.1. If credit are allowed for foreign income tax paid, total tax will be ($2m - $300,000 been foreign tax paid) x 21% = $357,000
D.2.
If the charge foreign income taxes at 30% and US corporations can claim refundable credit for foreign income tax paid on foreign source income = ($2m - $300,000 been the foreign income tax paid) = $1 700,000 x 30% = $510,000
Answer: a. $5.50
b. $6.1
c. $3,500,000
Explanation:
a. From the question, we are informed that Hawar International is a shipping firm with a current share price of $5.50 and 10 million shares outstanding and that Hawar announces plans to lower its corporate taxes by borrowing $20 million and repurchasing shares.
We are informed that Hawar announces plans to lower its corporate taxes by borrowing $20 million and repurchasing shares. This is a transaction and therefore, the value if the share won't be changed. So, the value for the share will still be $5.50.
b. If the only imperfection is corporate tax rate of 30%, the share price after this announcement will be:
= [30% × (20million/10million)] + $5.50
= [0.3 × 2] + $5.50
= $0.6 + $5.50
= $6.1
Therefore, the share price be after this announcement will be $6.1.
c. If the share price rises to $5.75 after this announcement, the PV of financial distress costs Hawar will incur as the result of this new debt will be:
= ($6.1 - $5.75) × 10,000,000
= $0.35 × 10,000,000
= $3,500,000
