Fountain Corporation's economists estimate that a good business environment and a bad business environment are equally likely for the coming year. The managers of the company must choose between two mutually exclusive projects. Assume that the project the company chooses will be the company's only activity and that the company will close one year from today. The company is obligated to make a $5,400 payment to bondholders at the end of the year. The projects have the same systematic risk but different volatilities. Consider the following information pertaining to the two projects: EconomyProbability Low-Volatility High-Volatility Project Payoff Project Payoff Bad .50 Good .50 $ 5,400 6,550 $ 4,800 7,150 a. What is the expected value of the company if the low-volatility project is undertaken? The high-volatility project? (Do not round intermediate calculations and round your answers to the nearest whole number, e.g., 32.) b. What is the expected value of the company's equity if the low-volatility project is undertaken? The high-volatility project? (Do not round intermediate calculations and round your answers to the nearest whole number, e.g., 32.) c. Which project would the company's stockholders prefer if they are risk neutral? d. Suppose bondholders are fully aware that stockholders might choose to maximize equity value rather than total company value and opt for the high-volatility project. To minimize this agency cost, the company's bondholders decide to use a bond covenant to stipulate that the bondholders can demand a higher payment if the company chooses to take on the high-volatility project. What payment to bondholders would make stockholders indifferent between the two projects? (Do not round intermediate calculations and round your answer to the nearest whole number, e.g., 32.) a. Expected company value with low-volatility project Expected company value with high-volatility project b. Expected equity value with low-volatility project Expected equity value with high-volatility project C. The company's stockholders prefer if they are risk neutral? d. Payment to stockholders Good Time Company is a regional chain department store. It will remain in business for one more year. The probability of a boom year is 80 percent and the probability of a recession is 20 percent. It is projected that the company will generate a total cash flow of $204 million in a boom year and $95 million in a recession. The company's required debt payment at the end of the year is $129 million. The market value of the company's outstanding debt is $102 million. The company pays no taxes. a. What payoff do bondholders expect to receive in the event of a recession? (Do not round intermediate calculations and enter your answer in dollars, not millions of dollars, rounded to the nearest whole number, e.g., 1,234,567.) b. What is the promised return on the company's debt? (Do not round intermediate calculations and enter your answer as a percent rounded to 2 decimal places, e.g., 32.16.) c.
