CCI would be taking a somewhat high risk by issuing additional stock due to the uncertainty about the offering price. Having a low P/E ratio with respect to the rest of the market, and the replacement cost of the firm being greater than its book value (argument 3), there is a good chance that the current stock price and the proposed offering Although long-term debt is a better financing choice a few of the drawbacks are pointed out. Debt holders claim profit before equity holders, so the chance that profits may be lower than expected, increases risk to equity may reduce or impede stock value. However, in extreme financial situations such as a recession period, CCI would still be able to increase its cash during a recession period with all debt capital structure. Also, there is a remaining 12.5 million that would have to be paid at the expiration of the bonds, but that could be paid off by issuing new bonds or additional equity at that time.
Businesses that take a substantial amount of time to make of sell a product will need a higher level of working capital. It is important for businesses to work out the right level of working capital you will need. If the working capital is too high, the business has surplus funds which are not earning a return; and low may indicate that the business is facing financial difficulties. From the scenario, analyze TFC’s cash budget to determine key methods in which the budget may be optimized (e.g., by renegotiating terms and conditions on some of its payables, etc.). If you believe that there is room for improvement, recommend key strategies for TFC to use in order to optimize its cash budget.
In other words, the peaks and troughs in a leading variable occur before the corresponding peaks and troughs in the business cycle. A lagging variable is one whose peaks are troughs tend to occur later than the corresponding peaks and troughs in the business cycle. Unemployment is a key-lagging variable, as the economy is doing badly or companies are expecting a downturn in the economy, the unemployment rate increases accordingly. Firm tend not to hire workers until they know that the economy has picked up and that this recovery is stable and that they are fairly sure that it will be an ongoing thing. So if the economy picks up firms will tend to lag a little bit in hiring workers at least permanent workers.
The basic answer is that share repurchases are great when the share price is undervalued, and not-so-great when the share price is overvalued. To put it into a more useful context, if you would otherwise reinvest your dividends or invest new capital into the company at current stock prices, then share repurchases are useful to you because the company basically does it for you. The alternative is that the company could pay you a higher dividend, but you’d be taxed on that dividend and reinvest it into the company anyway. On the other hand, if you would not reinvest dividends or invest new capital into the company at current prices, then share repurchases are not in alignment with your current outlook, and it would be better for you to receive a higher dividend. Something else to be considered is that when a company uses money for share repurchases when it could be paying a higher dividend instead, the company’s management is limiting your control and increasing theirs.
Based on this information, the ValueLine 1995 expected dividend, and the annual rate of dividend change for the growth estimate, what is the company’s return on common stock using the constant growth model? What is the expected dividend yield and expected capital gains yield? Explain the difference in the required return estimates from the ValueLine (see question 1a) to the WSJ price data.
