Question
Formula1 Corp currently has a forecast ROE of 15.40%, total assets of 444.44 of debt was $154.00. The payout ratio changes to 85%, the cost of debt before tax is 5% and the marginal corporate income tax rate is equal to 30%.c) The new dividend next year is equal to ? Formula1 Corp's RoE prior to changing its debt-to-equity ratio to 0.80 was 15.40%. The cost of debt before tax is 5% and the marginal corporate income tax rate is equal to 30%.d) The new RoE after the capital structure change is equal to ?
Solution
a) The dividend next year is equal to:
First, we need to calculate the net income, which is ROE * total assets = 15.40% * 154. Then, the dividend next year is the net income * dividend payout ratio = 84.70.
b) The new cost of equity (re) after changing its capital structure is equal to:
We can use the Capital Asset Pricing Model (CAPM) to calculate the new cost of equity. The formula is:
re = Risk-free rate + Beta * Market risk premium
The market risk premium is the expected stock market return minus the risk-free rate, which is 7.40% - 4.50% = 2.90%. The new beta is 0.80 * (1 + (1 - 30%) * 0.80) = 1.152. Substituting these values into the CAPM formula, we get:
re = 4.50% + 1.152 * 2.90% = 7.838%.
c) The new dividend next year is equal to:
First, we need to calculate the new net income. The company issued 1000 + 1444.44. The new net income is ROE * new total assets = 15.40% * 222.44. Then, the new dividend next year is the new net income * new dividend payout ratio = 189.07.
d) The new RoE after the capital structure change is equal to:
The new RoE is the net income divided by the new equity. The new equity is the new total assets minus the new debt, which is 444.44 = 222.44 / $1000 = 22.24%.
