Management of Corporate Capital Structure. Apply the M&M theory to complete the worksheet for the recapitalization alternative. Again use excel spreadsheet and correct cell formula. Based on your calculation result, do you think the recapitalization alternative will deter the hostile tender offer at $61 a share? As a way of illustrating the usefulness of the M&M theory and consolidating you grasp of mechanics consider the following case and complete the worksheet. On March 3, 1988 Beazer PLC (a British construction company) and Shearson Lenman Hutton Inc. (an investment banking firm) commenced a hostile tender offer to purchase all the outstanding stock of Koppers Company, Inc. a producer of construction materials, chemicals and building products. Originally , the raiders offered $45 a share; subsequently the offer was raised to $56 and then finally to $61 a share. The Koppers board asserted that the offers were inadequate and its management was reviewing the possibility of a major recapitalization. To tes the valuation effects of the reapitalizaion alternative, assume that Koppers could borrow a maximum of $1,738,095,000 at a pretax cost of debt of 10.5% and that the aggregate amount of debt will remain constant in perpetuity. Thus, Koppers will take on additional debt of $1,565,686,000 (that is $1,738,095,000 minus $172,409,000). Also, assume that the proceeds would be paid as an extrodinary dividen dividend to shareholders.

You have just been hired as a financial analyst for barrington industries. unfortunately, company headquarters (where all of the firm's records are kept) has been destroyed by fire. so, your first job will be to recreate the firm's cash flow statement for the year just ended. the firm had $100,000 in the bank at the end of the prior year, and its working capital accounts except cash remained constant during the year. it earned $5 million in net income during the year but paid $800,000 in dividends to common shareholders. throughout the year, the firm purchased $5.5 million of machinery that was needed for a new project. you have just spoken to the firm's accountants and learned that annual depreciation expense for the year is $450,000; however, the purchase price for the machinery represents additions to property, plant, and equipment before depreciation. finally, you have determined that the only financing done by the firm was to issue long-term debt of $1 million at a 6% interest rate. what was the firm's end- of-year cash balance? recreate the firm's cash flow statement to arrive at your answer
