Suppose you borrow $50,000 when financing a coffee shop with a cost of $65,000. You expect to generate a cash flow of $65,000 at the end of the year if demand is weak, $81,250 if demand is as expected and $89,375 if demand is strong. Each scenario is equally likely. The current risk-free interest rate is 5% (risk of debt) and there's an 9% risk premium for the risk of the assets:
A) What should the value of the equity be?
B) What is the expected return?
C) What would be the return of equity if the demand is strong?
D) What would be the return of equity if the demand is weak?
E) What would be the expected return if you borrowed $30,000 instead?
The facts of the question are -
Total cost of coffee shop, C = $65,000
Debt amount, D = $50,000
Expected cash flow at the end of year -
Risk free interest rate, rd = 5%
Risk premium = ru - rd = 9%
A) Value of equity, E
= C - D
= $65,000 - $50,000
= $15,000
B) Expected return will be equal to expected cost of levered equity (company financed with debt & equity combined) . According to Modigliani Miller Proposition II, cost of levered equity,
re = rd + D/E (ru - rd)
= 5% + ($50,000/$15,000) * 9%
= 5% + 30%
re = 35%
C) Expected debt obligations in one year = $50,000 * (1+0.05) [as 5% is cost of debt] = $52,500
So expected payoff in one year when demand is strong = $89,375 - $52,500 = $36,875
Hence, return on equity in this scenario = Expected payoff net of debt obligations / Total Equity - 1
= $36,875/$15,000 - 1
= 145.83%
D) Expected debt obligations in one year remains same i.e. $52,500
Expected payoff in one year when demand is weak = $65,000 - $52,500 = $12,500
Hence return on equity in this scenario = $12,500/$15,000 - 1
= -16.67%

1. You own a coffee shop and are trying to decide whether to invest in a machine that makes, in one step, soy grandé gluten-free, nut-free cinnamon lattes with medium foam (and, of course, no hydrogenated palm oil). It costs $4,000 if purchased today, is expected to last four years, and will generate net cash flows of $1,200 for each of the four years. Assume that the cash inflows occur at the end of each year. A) If the discount...
Suppose you borrow $1,500 when financing a gym Ivalued at $28,500. Assume that the unlevered cost of the gym is 10% and that the cost of debt is valued at 11%. What should be the cost of equity of your firm? Note: Answer in percentage of your answer is 0.405, then answer 4.05 3) DBF borrows IIB by using a year bonds. ECB'S I cost of debt is 9%, so it will need to pay intrest leach year for the...
You have risen through the ranks of a coffee comany, from the lowly green-apron barista to the coveted black apron, and all the way to CFO. A quick internet check shows that your company's beta is 0.56. The risk-free rate is 6.43 and you believe the market risk premium to be 5.33. What is your best estimate of investors expected retum on your company's stock (its cost of equity capital? The expected return is Round to two decimal places.)
Hardmon Enterprises is currently an all-equity firm with an expected return of 15%. It is considering a leveraged recapitalization in which it would borrow and repurchase existing shares.
