Suppose there are no taxes. Firm ABC has no debt, and firm XYZ has debt of $ 4,000 on which it pays interest of 10 % each year. Both companies have identical projects that generate free cash flows of $ 4,600 or $ 4,300 each year. After paying any interest on debt, both companies use all remaining free cash flows to pay dividends each year.
a. In the table below, fill in the debt payments for each firm and the dividend payments the equity holders of each firm will receive given each of the two possible levels of free cash flows.
b. Suppose you hold 10 % of the equity of ABC. What is another portfolio you could hold that would provide the same cash flows?
c. Suppose you hold 10 % of the equity of XYZ. If you can borrow at 10 %, what is an alternative strategy that would provide the same cash flows?
Summary of facts:
1. There is no taxes
2. Company wise Debts and debt service:
ABC has Zero Debt, hence entire earning as Free cash flow is distributed to Equity Shareholders as Dividend.
XYZ has debt of $4000 at an interest rate of 10% per year. and as per question, there is no repayment of principal amount.
Hence payment towards loan interest will be 4000*10%=400 per year
Answer:
(a) Company wise amount of debt payment and dividends at two possible levels of free cash flow is given below:
ABC | XYZ | |||
FCF | Debt payment | Equity Dividends | Debt payment | Equity Dividends |
$4,600 | $ - | $ 4,600 | $ 400 | $ 4,200 |
$4,300 | $ - | $ 4,300 | $ 400 | $ 3,900 |
(b) If I hold 10% in ABC which gives return as $460, how much need to invest in other company to get same amount of return:
ABC | XYZ | |
Free cash flow | 4600 | 4200 |
Cashflow for above holding | 460 | 460 |
%s of Holding | 10.00% | 10.95% |
From above table it can be seen that in case of first option of Free Cash Flow as $4600, I will need to invest 10.95% to get same amount of return.
However, if free cash flow is $ 4300 than investment required in other company to get same kind of return will be 11.03%
ABC | XYZ | |
Free cash flow | $ 4,300 | $ 3,900 |
Cashflow for above holding | 10.00% | 11.03% |
%s of Holding | 430 | 430 |
