Answer:
a. What is the value today of Steinberg's debt and equity?
b. What is the value today of Dietrich's debt and equity?
c. Steinberg’s CEO recently stated that Steinberg’s value should be higher than Dietrich’s because the company has less debt and therefore less bankruptcy risk. Do you agree or disagree with this statement?
- A. Disagree: a company's value is determined by by its operating income (EBIT), not by there capital structure (M&M theory).
Explanation:
economic expansion 80% chance, EBIT $3.5 million
economic recession 20% chance, EBIT $1.9 million
expected EBIT = (3.5 x 0.8) + (1.9 x 0.2) = $2.8 million + $0.38 million = $3.18 million
Steinberg's debt obligations $980,000 at the end of next year
Dietrich's debt obligations $2,000,000 at the end of next year
total company value = $3.18 million / (1 + 10%) = $2,890,909

Answer:
<em>The amount that he will be charged in a special assessment tax to cover his cost of the sidewalk Is $2000 </em>
<em></em>
Explanation:
We are told that the property is an interior lot, so we'll only consider one of the width of his plot, since the sidewalk can only pass through the front or the back of his property.
The property measures 100' x 500' , that is 100 ft width by 500 ft length
The cost of the sidewalk is $40 per linear ft
The city will pick up 50% of the cost.
For a width of the lot, the cost per linear length will be
100 x $40 = $4000
The city covers 50% of this cost, leaving 50% of the cost to the homeowner.
The homeowner's cost will be 50% of $4000
= 0.5 x $4000 =<em> $2000 </em>
<em>The amount that he will be charged in a special assessment tax to cover his cost of the sidewalk Is $2000 </em>
