In which foreign industry has privatization been most important?
Kevin鈥檚 Bacon Company Inc. has earnings of \(9 million with 2,100,000 shares outstanding before a public distribution. Seven hundred thousand shares will be included in the sale, of which 400,000 are new corporate shares, and 300,000 are shares currently owned by Ann Fry, the founder and CEO. The 300,000 shares that Ann is selling are referred to as a secondary offering, and all proceeds will go to her.
The net price from the offering will be \)16.50, and the corporate proceeds are expected to produce $1.8 million in corporate earnings.
a. What were the corporation鈥檚 earnings per share before the offering?
b. What are the corporation鈥檚 earnings per share expected to be after the offering?
Question: The management of Mitchell Labs decided to go private in 2002 by buying in all 2.80 million of its outstanding shares at \(24.80 per share. By 2006, management had restructured the company by selling off the petroleum research division for \)10.75 million, the fiber technology division for \(8.45 million, and the synthetic products division for \)20 million. Because these divisions had been only marginally profitable, Mitchell Labs is a stronger company after the restructuring. Mitchell is now able to concentrate exclusively on contract research and will generate earnings per share of $1.10 this year. Investment bankers have contacted the firm and indicated that if it re-entered the public market, the 2.80 million shares it purchased to go private could now be reissued to the public at a P/E ratio of 15 times earnings per share.
c. What is the percentage return to the management of Mitchell Labs from the restructuring? Use answers from parts a and b to determine this value
Question: The Bowman Corporation has a \(18 million bond obligation outstanding, which it is considering refunding. Though the bonds were initially issued at 10 percent, the interest rates on similar issues have declined to 8.5 percent. The bonds were originally issued for 20 years and have 10 years remaining. The new issue would be for 10 years. There is a 9 percent call premium on the old issue. The underwriting cost on the new \)18,000,000 issue is \(530,000, and the underwriting cost on the old issue was \)380,000. The company is in a 35 percent tax bracket, and it will use an 8 percent discount rate (rounded after-tax cost of debt) to analyze the refunding decision.
a. Calculate the present value of total outflows.
The Presley Corporation is about to go public. It currently has after-tax earnings of \(7,200,000, and 2,100,000 shares are owned by the present stockholders (the Presley family). The new public issue will represent 800,000 new shares. The new shares will be priced to the public at \)25 per share, with a 5 percent spread on the offering price. There will also be $260,000 in out-of-pocket costs to the corporation.
a. Compute the net proceeds to the Presley Corporation.
