2. Green Curry Kitchen operates two restaurants in Hobart and Launceston, Tasmania,
and has the following financial structure:
Account payables $100,000 | |
Short-term debt $400,00 | |
Current liabilities $ 500,00 | |
Long-term debt $2,000,000 | |
owner's equity $1,500,000 | |
Total $4,000,000 |
The firm is considering an expansion that would involve raising an additional $2 million.
a. What are the firm’s debt ratio and debt-to-equity ratio in its present capital structure?
b. If the firm wants to have a debt ratio of 50%, how much equity does it need to raise in order to finance the expansion?
I am treating all these scenarios INDEPENDENT from each other.
Also, the main concept behind a bonus share or a stock split is
that the market cap remains the same, which means that
MARKET CAP before bonus or split = MARKET CAP after bonus or
split
Market cap before = 12 X 8 million shares = $96 million
(a) A 20% bonus share issue
Existing shares = 8 million
Bonus at 20% = 20% X 8 million = 1.6 million share
New number of shares = 9.6 million shares
Total market cap = $96 million
Price per share = Market cap / number of shares = 96/9.6 = $10 per share
(b) A 32.5% bonus share issue
Existing shares = 8 million
Bonus at 32.5% = 32.5% X 8 million = 2.6 million shares
New number of shares = 10.6 million shares
Total market cap = $96 million
Price per share = Market cap / number of shares = 96/10.6 = $9.06 per share
(c) A 4:1 split
Existing shares = 8 million
4 : 1 split = 4 X 8 million = 32 million shares
Total market cap = $96 million
Price per share = Market cap / number of shares = 96/32 = $3 per share
(d) Total outstanding share
a. 9.6 million
b. 10.6 million
c. 32 million

a. Debt ratio = Total Debt / Total Assets
We know that Total Assets = Total Debt + Equity
So Debt ratio = Total Debt / (Total Debt + Equity)
= 2,500,000 / (2,500,000 + 1,500,000)
= 62.5 %
b. Debt equity ratio = (Long term debt + Short term debt) /
Equity
= (2,000,000 + 40,000) / 1,500,000 = 1.36 : 1
If the firm wants debt ratio of 50% it needs its debt to be
equal to its equity.
Debt = $2,500,000
Equity = $1,500,000
It must issue fresh equity of $1,000,000
