Balance sheet effects of leasing
Two textile companies, McDaniel-Edwards Manufacturing and Jordan-Hocking Mills, began operations with identical balance sheets. A year later both required additional manufacturing capacity at a cost of $300,000. McDaniel-Edwards obtained a 5-year, $300,000 loan at an 8% interest rate from its bank. Jordan-Hocking, on the other hand, decided to lean the required $300,000 capacity from National Leasing for 5 years; an 8% return was build into the lease. The balance sheet for each company, before the asset increase, is as follows:
Debt | $300,000 | ||
Equity | $300,000 | ||
Total assets | $600,000 | Total liabilities and equity | $600,000 |
- Show the balance sheet of each firm after the assets, and calculate each firm's new debt ratio. (Assume that Jordan-Hocking's lease is kept off the balance sheet.) Round your answers to the whole number.Debt/assets ratio for McDaniel-Edwards = %Debt/assets ratio for Jordan-Hocking = %
- Show how Jordan-Hocking's balance sheet would have looked immediately after the financing if had capitalized the lease. Round your answer to the whole number.%

Problem 20-12
Warrants
Srorm Software wants to issue $90 million ($900 x 100,000 bonds) in new capital to fund new opportunities. If Storm raised the $90 million of new capital in a straight-debt 20-year bond offering, Storm would have to offer an annual coupon rate of 10%. However, Storm's advisers have suggested a 20-year bond offering with warrants. According to the advisers, Storm could issue 8% annual coupon-bearing debt with 20 warrants per $900 face value bond. Storm has 10 million shares of stock outstanding at a current price of $20. The warrants can be exercised in 10 years (on December 31, 2025) at an exercise price of $25. Each warrant entitles its holder to buy one share of Storm Software stock. After issuing the bonds with warrants, Storm's operations and investments are expected to grow at a constant rate of 9.3% per year.

Suppose the previously outlined projects work out on schedule for 2 years, but then O'Brien begins to experience extremely strong competition from Japanese firms. As a result, O'Brien's expected growth rate from 11% to zero. Assume that the dividend at the time of the drop is $3.06. The company's credit strength is not impaired, and its value of is also unchanged. What would happen (1) to the stock price and (2) to the convertible bond's price? Be as precise as you can. Round your answer to the nearest percent.
