    1 Chapter 1 The Corporation 1 - 1. What is the most important difference between a corporation and all other organizational forms? A corporation is a legal entity separate from its owners. 1 - 2. What does the phrase limited liability mean in a corporate context? Owners ’ liability is limited to the amount they invested in the firm . Stockholders are not responsible for any encu m brances of the firm; in particular, they cannot be required to pay back any debts incurred by the firm. 1 - 3. Which organizational forms give their owners limited liability? Corporations and limited liability companies give owners limited liability . Limited partnerships provide limited liability for the limited partners, but not for the general partners. 1 - 4. What are the main advantages and disadvantages of organizing a firm as a corporation? Advantages: Limited liability, liquidity, infinite life Disadvantages: Double taxation, separation of ownership and control 1 - 5. Explain the difference between an S corporation and a C corporation. C corporations mu st pay corporate income taxes; S corporations do not pay corporate taxes , but must pass through the i n come to shareholders to whom it is taxable . S corporations are also limited to 75 shareholders and cannot have corporate or foreign stockholders. 1 - 6. You are a shareholder in a C corporation. The corporation earns $2 per share before taxes. Once it has paid taxes it will distribute the rest of its earnings to you as a dividend. The corporate tax rate is 40% and the personal tax rate on (both dividend and non - dividend) income is 30%. How much is left for you after all taxes are paid? First , the corporation pays the taxes. After taxes, $2 (1 0.4) $1.20 ´ - = is left to pay dividends. Once the dividend is paid, personal tax must be paid , which leaves $1.20 (1 0.3) $0.84 ´ - = . So , after all the taxes are paid, you are left with 84¢. 1 - 7. Repeat Problem 6 assuming the corporation is an S corporation. An S corporation does not pay corporate income tax . So it distributes $2 to its stockholders. These stockholders must then pay personal income tax on the . So they are left with $2 (1 0.3) $1.40 ´ - = .

    2 Berk/DeMarzo, Corporate Finance, Fourth Edition , Global Edition 1 - 8. You have decided to form a new start - up company developing applications for the iPhone. Give examples of the three distinct types of financial decisions you will need to make. As the manager of an iPhone applications developer , you will make three types of financial decisions . i. You will make investment decisions such as determining which type of iPhone application projects will offer your company a positive NPV and that your company , therefore , should develop. ii. You will make the decision on how to fund your iPhone application investments and what mix of debt and equity your company will have. iii. You will be responsible for the cash management of your company, ensuring that your company has the necessary funds to make investments, pay interest on loans, and pay your employees. 1 - 9. When a pharmaceutical company develops a new drug, it often receives patent protection for that medication, allowing it to charge a higher price. Explain how this public policy of providing patent protection might help align the corporation ’ s interests with society ’ s interests. Without patent protection, the developer of the drug would be forced to lower prices to compete with generic manufacturers. Because this price competition would lower expected future profits, the developer would be willing to spend much less in R&D to develop the drug initially, and drug innovation would be curtailed. Alternatively, by allowing the drug ’ s developer to earn higher profits that are commensurate with the value of the drug to society, drug developers will find it in their best interests to spend more on R&D , and drug innovation is enhanced. Thus , patent protection can align the corporation ’ s and society ’ s interests and provide for more efficient spending on drug R&D. 1 - 10 . Corporate managers work for the owners of the corporation. Consequently, they should make decisions that are in the interests of the owners, rather than their own. What strategies are available to shareholders to help ensure that managers are motivated to act this way? Shareholders can do the following. i. Ensure that employees are paid with company stock and/or stock options. ii. Ensure that underperforming managers are fired. iii. Write contracts that ensure that the interests of the managers and shareholders are closely aligned. iv. Mount hostile takeovers. 1 - 11 . Suppose you are considering renting an apartment. You, the renter, can be viewed as an agent while the company that owns the apartment can be viewed as the principal. What principal - agent conflicts do you anticipate? Suppose instead that you work for the apartment company. What features would you put into the lease agreement that would give the renter incentives to take good care of the apartment? The agent (renter) will not take the same care of the apartment as the principal (owner), because the renter does not share in the costs of repairing damage to the apartment. To mitigate this problem, having the renter pay a deposit sh ould motivate the renter to keep damages to a minimum. The deposit forces the renter to share in the costs of repairing any problems that they cause. 1 - 12 . You are the CEO of a company and you are considering entering into an agreement to have your company buy another company. You think the price might be too high, but you will be the CEO of the combined , much larger , company. You know that when the company gets bigger, your pay and prestige will increase. What is the nature of the agency conflict here and how is it related to ethical considerations? There is an ethical dilemma when the CEO of a firm has the opposite incentives to those of the shareholders. In this case, you (as the CEO) have an incentive to potentially overpay for another company (which would be damaging to your shareholders) because your pay and prestige will improve. 1 - 13 . Are hostile takeovers necessarily bad for firms or their investors? Explain. No . They are a way to discipline managers who are not working in the interests of shareholders.

    Chapter 1/The Corporation 3 1 - 14 . What is the difference between a public and private corporation? The shares of a public corporation are traded on an exchange (or “ over the counter ” in an electronic trading system) while the shares of a private corporation are not traded on a public exchange. 1 - 15 . Describe the important changes that have occurred in stock markets over the last decade. Markets have become more fragmented, stocks no longer predominantly trade on the markets on which they are listed, off exchange transactions in dark pools are now much more common, and official market makers have largely disappeared, replaced now by the limit order book. 1 - 16. Explain why the bid - ask spread is a transaction cost. Investors always buy at the ask and sell at the bid . Since ask prices always exceed bid prices, investors “ lose ” this diffe r ence. It is one of the costs of transacting . Since the market makers take the other side of the trade, they make this diffe r ence. 1 - 17. Explain how the bid - ask spread is determined today . The bid - ask spread of a stock is determined by the outstanding limit orders. The limit sell order with the lowest price is the ask price. The limit buy order with the highest price is the bid price. 1 - 18 . The following quote on Yahoo! Stock appeared on July 23, 2015 , on Yahoo! Finance: If you wanted to buy Yahoo!, what price would you pay? How much would you receive if you wanted to sell Yahoo!? You would b uy at $39.66 and sell for $39.65 . 1 - 19. Suppose the following orders are received by an exchange for Cisco stock: • Limit Order: Buy 200 shares at $25 • Limit Order: Sell 200 shares at $26 • Limit Order: Sell 100 shares at $25.50 • Limit Order: Buy 100 shares at $25.25 a) What are the best bid and ask prices for Cisco stock? Best bid = $25.25, Best ask = $25.50 b) What is the current bid - ask spread for Cisco stock? Bid - Ask spread = $25.50 – 25.25 = $0.25 c) Suppose a market order arrives to buy 200 shares of Cisco. What average price will the buyer pay? Buy 100 shares at $25.50 and 100 shares at $26, for an average price of $25.75 d) After the market order in ( c ) clears , what are the new best bid and ask prices, and what is the new bid - ask spread for Cisco? Best bid = $25. 7 5 , Best ask = $26, Bid - Ask spread = $0. 2 5

    4 Chapter 2 Introduction to Financial Statement Analysis 2 - 1. What four financial statements can be found in a firm’s 10 - K filing? What checks are there on the accuracy of these statements? In a firm’s 10 - K filing, four financial statements can be found: the balance sheet, income statement, statement of cash flows, and statement of stockholders’ equity. Financial statements in form 10 - K are required to be audited by a neutral third party, who checks and ensures that the financial statements are prepared according to GAAP and that the information contained is reliable. 2 - 2. Who reads financial statements? List at least three different categories of people. For each category, provide an example of the type of information they might be interested in and discuss why. Users of financial statements include present and potential investors, financial analysts, and other interested outside parties (such as lenders, suppliers and other trade creditors, and customers). Financial managers within the firm also use the financial statements when making financial decisions. Investors. Investors are concerned with the risk inherent in , and return provided by , their investments. Bondholders use the firm’s financial statements to assess the ability of the company to make its debt payments. Stockholders use the statements to assess the firm’s profitability and ability to make future dividend payments. Financial analysts. Financial analysts gather financial information, analyze it, and make recommendations. They read financial statements to determine a firm’s value and project future earnings, so that they can provide guidance to businesses and individuals to help them with their investment decisions. Managers. Managers use financial statement s to look at trends in their own business, and to compare their own results with that of competitors. 2 - 3. Find the most recent financial statements for Starbucks’ corporation (SBUX) using the following sources: a. From the company’s Web site www.starbucks.com ( Hint : Search for “investor relations.”) b. From the SEC Web site www.sec.gov . ( Hint : Search for company filings in the EDGAR database.) c. From the Yahoo! Finance Web site http://finance.yahoo.com . d. From at least one other source. ( Hint : Enter “SBUX 10K” at www.google.com.) Each method will help find the same SEC filings. Yahoo ! F inance also provides some analysis such as charts and key statistics.

    Chapter 2/Introduction to Financial Statement Analysis 5 2 - 4. Consider the following potential events that might have taken place at Global C onglomerate on December 30, 2015 . For each one, indicate which line items in Global’s balance sheet would be affected and by how much. Also indicate the change to Global’s book value of equity . (In all cases, ignore any tax consequences for simplicity.) a. Global used $20 million of its available cash to repay $20 million of its long - term debt. b. A warehouse fire destroyed $5 million worth of uninsured inventory. c. Global used $5 million in cash and $5 million in new long - term debt to purchase a $10 million building. d. A large customer owing $3 million for products it already received declared bankruptcy, leaving no possibility that Global would ever receive payment. e. Global’s engineers discover a new manufacturing process that will cut the cost of its flagship product by over 50%. f. A key competitor announces a radical new pricing policy that will drastically undercut Global’s prices. a. Long - term liabilities would decrease by $20 million, and cash would decrease by the same amount. The book value of equity would be unchanged. b. Inventory would decrease by $5 million, as would the book value of equity. c. Long - term assets would increase by $10 million, cash would decrease by $5 million, and long - term liabilities would increase by $5 million. There would be no change to the book value of equity. d. Accounts receivable would decrease by $3 million, as would the book value of equity. e. This event would not affect the balance sheet. f. This event would not affect the balance sheet. 2 - 5. What was the change in Global Conglomerate’ s book value of equity from 2014 to 2015 according to Table 2.1? Does this imply that the market price of G lobal’s shares increased in 2015 ? Explain. Global Conglomerate’s book value of equity increased by $1 million from 2014 to 2015 . An increase in book value does not necessarily indicate an increase in Global’s share price. The market value of a stock does not depend on the historical cost of the firm’s assets, but on investors’ expectation of the firm’s future performance. There are many events that may affect Global’s future profitability, and hence its share price, that do not show up on the balance sheet. 2 - 6. Use EDGAR to find Qualcomm’s 10 - K fil ing for 2015 . From the balance sheet, answer the following questions: a. How much did Qualcomm have in cash and short - term investments? b. What were Qualcomm’s total accounts receivable? c. What were Qualcomm’s total assets? d. What were Qualcomm’s total liabilities? How much of this was long - term debt? e. What was the book value of Qualcomm’s equity? a. $ 7,560 million (cash) and $ 9,761 million (short - term investments/marketable securities) for a total of $1 7,321 million b. $ 1,964 million c. $ 50,796 million

Find online the annual 10 - K report for Costco Wholesale Corporation ( COST ) for fiscal year 2015 (filed in October 2015) . Answer the following questions from their balance sheet: a. How much cash di d Costco have at the end of the fiscal year ? b. What were Costco ’s total assets? c. What were Costco ’s total liabilities? How much debt did Costco have? d. What was the book value of Costco ’s equity? a. At the end of the fiscal year , Costco had cash and cash equivalents of $ 4,801 million. b. Costco ’s total assets were $ 33,440 million. c. Costco ’s total liabilities were $ 22, 597 million , and it had $ 6,157 million in debt. d. The book value of Costco ’s equity was $ 10, 843 million. 2 - 8. In early 2012, General Electric (GE) had a book value of equity of $109 billion, 10.3 billion shares outstanding, and a market price of $9.66 per share. GE also had cash of $40 billion, and total debt of $530 billion. Three years later, in early 2015, GE had a book value of equity of $112 billion, 10.9 billion shares outstanding with a market price of $16.59 per share, cash of $85 billion, and total debt of $417 billion. Over this period, what was the change in GE’s a. market capitalization? b. market - to - book ratio? c . enterprise value? a. 2012 Market Capitalization: 10.3 billion shares  $9.66 /share = $ 99.5 billion. 2015 Market Capitalization: 10.9 billion shares  $16.59 /share = $ 180.8 . The change over the period is $ 180.8 – $ 99.5 = $ 81.3 billion. b. 2012 Market - to - Book = 99.5/109 = 0.91 . 2015 Market - to - Book = 180.8/112 = 1.61 . The change over the period is: 1.61 – 0.91 = 0 . 70 . e. 2012 Enterprise Value = $ 109 – 4 0 + 5 30 = $599 billion. 2015 Enterprise Value = $112 – 85 + 417 = $ 444 billion. The change over the period is: $599 – $444 = – $155 billion. 2 - 9 . In early - 2015 , Abercrombie & Fitch (ANF) had a book equity of $1 390 mill ion, a price per share of $25.52, and 69.35 million shares outstanding. At the same time, The Gap (GPS) had a book equity of $2983 million, a share price of $ 41.19 , and 421 million shares outstanding. a. What is the market - to - book ratio of each of these clothing retailers? b. What conclusions can you draw by comparing the two ratios? a. ANF’s market - to - book ratio = (25.52 x 69.35)/1,390 = 1.27 . GPS’s market - to - book ratio = (41.19 x 421)/2,983 = 5.81 . b. For the market, the outlook of Abercrombie and Fitch is less favorabl e than that of The Gap. For every dollar of equity invested in ANF , the market values that dollar today at $ 1.27 versus $ 5.81 for a dollar invested in the GPS. Equity investors are willing to pay relatively less today for shares of ANF than for GPS because they expect GPS to produce superior performance in the future. 2 - 10 . See Table 2.5 showing financial statement data and stock price data for Mydeco Corp. a. What is Mydeco’s market capitalization at the end of each year? b. What is Mydeco’s market - to - book ratio at the end of each year? c.

Suppose that in 201 6 , Global launches an aggressive marketing campaign that boosts sales by 15%. However, their operating margin falls from 5.57% to 4.50%. Suppose that they have no other income, interest expenses are unchanged, and taxes are the same percen tage of pretax income as in 2015 . a. What is Global’s EBIT in 2016 ? b. What is Global’s net income in 2016 ? c. If Global’s P/E ratio and number of shares outstanding remains unchanged, what is Global’s share price in 2016 ? a. Revenues in 201 6 = 1.15 × 186.7 = $214.705 million . EBIT = 4.50% × 214.705 = $9.66 million (there is no other income) . b. Net Income = EBIT – Interest Expenses – Taxes = (9.66 – 7.7) × (1 – 26%) = $1.45 million . c. Share price = (P/E Ratio in 20015) x (EPS in 2016) = 25.2 x (1.45/3.6) = $10.15. Note: Differences from spreadsheet solutions due to rounding. 2 - 1 2 . Find online the annual 10 - K report for Costco Wholesale Corporation (COST) for fiscal year 2015 (filed in October 2015). Answer the following questions from their income statement: a. What were Costco 's rev enues for fiscal year 2015 ? By what percentage did revenues grow from the prior year? b. What was Costco 's operating income for the fiscal year? c. What was Costco 's average tax rate for the year? d. What were Costco 's diluted earnings per share in fiscal year 2 015 ? What number of shares is this EPS based on? a. Revenues = $ 116,199 million. Revenue growth = ( 116,199 / 112,640) – 1 = 3.16 % . b. Operating Income = $ 3,624 million . c. Average tax rate = 1,195 / 3,604 = 33.16 % . d. The diluted earnings per share in 20 15 was $ 5.37 . The number of shares used in this ca lculation of diluted EPS was 442.72 million.

    Chapter 2/Introduction to Financial Statement Analysis 9 2 - 1 3 . See Table 2.5 showing financial statement data and stock price data for Mydeco Corp. a. By what percentage did Mydeco’s r evenues grow each year from 2013 to 2016 ? b. By what percentage did net income grow each year? c. Why might the growth rates of revenues and net income differ? a. Year 2012 2013 2014 2015 2016 Revenue (millions) $401.9 $361.6 $429.6 $513.6 $602.6 Revenue growth – 10.0% 18.8% 19.6% 17.3% b. Year 2012 2013 2014 2015 2016 Net Income (millions) $15.0 $4.3 $9.6 $11.8 $16.2 Net income growth – 71.3% 123.3% 22.9% 37.3% c. Net Income growth rate differs from revenue growth rate because cost of goods sold and other expenses can move at different rates than revenues. For example, revenues declined in 2013 by 10%, however, cost of goods sold only declined by 9%. 2 - 1 4 . See Table 2.5 showing financial statement data and stock price data for Mydeco Corp. Suppose Mydeco repurchases 2.3 million shares each year from 2013 to 2016. What would its earnings per share be in years 2013 – 2016? (Assume Mydeco pays for the shares using its available cash and that Mydeco earns no interest on its cash balances.) A repurchase does not impact earnings directly, so any change to EPS will come from a reduction in shares outstanding . Year 2012 2013 2014 2015 2016 Shares Outstanding (millions) 56.8 54.5 52.2 49.9 47.6 Net Income (millions) $15.0 $4.3 $9.6 $11.8 $16.2 EPS $0.26 $0.08 $0.18 $0.24 $0.34 2 - 1 5 . See Table 2.5 showing financial statement data and stock price data for Mydeco Corp. Suppose Mydeco had purchased additional equipment for $12.3 million at the end of 2013, and this equipment was depreciated by $4.1 million per year in 2014, 2015, and 2016. Given Mydeco’s tax rate of 35%, what impact would this additional purchase have had on Mydeco’s net income in years 2013 – 2016? (Assume the equipment is paid for out of cash and that Mydeco earns no interest on its cash balances.) The equipment purchase does not impact net income directly, however the increased depreciation expense and tax savings changes net income. Year 2012 2013 2014 2015 2016 Net Income $15.0 $4.3 $9.6 $11.8 $16.2 Additional Depreciation – $4.1 – $4.1 – $4.1 Tax savings $1.4 $1.4 $1.4 New Net Income (millions) $15.0 $4.3 $6.9 $9.1 $13.5 2 - 1 6 . See Table 2.5 showing financial statement data and stock price data for Mydeco Corp. Suppose Mydeco’s costs and expenses had been the same fraction of revenues in 2013 – 2016 as they were in 2012. What would Mydeco’s EPS have been each year in this case? If Mydeco’s costs and expenses had been the same fraction of revenues in 2013 – 2016 as they were in 2012, then their net profit margins would have been equal.

    10 Berk/DeMarzo, Corporate Finance, Fourth Edition , Global Edition 2012 net profit margin = 15/401.9 = 3.73% . Year 2012 2013 2014 2015 2016 Revenue $401.9 $361.6 $429.6 $513.6 $602.6 Net Profit Margin 3.7% 3.7% 3.7% 3.7% 3.7% New Net Income $15.0 $13.5 $16.0 $19.2 $22.5 Shares Outstanding 56.8 56.8 56.8 56.8 56.8 New EPS $0.26 $0.24 $0.28 $0.34 $0.40 2 - 1 7 . Suppose a firm’s tax rate is 3 0 %. a. What effect would a $10 million operating expense have on this years earnings? What effect would it have on next year’s earnings ? b. What effect would a $10 million capital expense have on this years earnings if the capital expenditure is depreciated at a rate of $2 million per year for five years? What effect would it have on next year’s earnings? a. A $10 million operating expense would be immediately expensed, increasing operating expenses by $10 million. This would lead to a reduction in taxes of 30% × $10 million = $3 million. Thus, earnings would decline by 10 – 3 = $7 million. There would be no effect on next year’s earnings . b. Capital expenses do not affect earnings directly. However, the depreciation of $2 million would appear each year as an operating expense. With a reduction in taxes of 2 × 30% = $0.6 million, earnings would be lower by 2 – 0.6 = $1.4 million for each of the next 5 years . 2 - 1 8 . Quisco Systems has 6.17 billion shares outstanding and a share price of $18.96. Quisco is considering developing a new networking product in - house at a cost of $509 million. Alternatively, Quisco can acquire a firm that already has the technology for $893 million worth (at the current price) of Quisco stock. Suppose that absent the expense of the new technology, Quisco will have EPS of $0.83 . a. Suppose Quisco develops the product in - house. What impact would the development cost have on Quisco’s EPS? Assume all costs are incurred this year and are treated as an R&D expense, Quisco’s tax rate is 35%, and the number of shares outstanding is unchanged . b. Suppose Quisco does not develop the product in - house but instead acquires the technology. What effect would the acquisition have on Quisco’s EPS this year? (Note that acquisition expenses do not appear directly on the income statement. Assume the firm was acquired at the start of the year and has no revenues or expenses of its own, so that the only effect on EPS is due to the change in the number of shares outstanding.) c. Which method of acquiring the technology has a smaller impact on earnings? Is this method cheaper? Explain. a. If Quisco develops the product in - house, its earnings would fall by $509 × (1 – 35%) = $330.85 million. With no change to the number of shares outstanding, its EPS would decrease by ($330.9/6,170) = $0.054 to $0.776. (Assume the new product would not change this year’s revenues.) b. If Quisco acquires the technology for $893 million worth of its stock, it will issue $893/18.96 = 47.10 million new shares. Since earnings without this transaction are $0.83 × 6.17 billion = $5.12 billion, its EPS with the purchase is 5,121/(6,170 + 47.10) = $0.82. c. Acquiring the technology would have a smaller impact on earnings, but this method is not cheaper. Developing it in - house is less costly and provides an immediate tax benefit. The earnings impact is not a good measure of the expense. In addition, note that because the acquisition permanently increases the number of shares outstanding, it will reduce Quisco’s earnings per share in future years as well.

    12 Berk/DeMarzo, Corporate Finance, Fourth Edition , Global Edition b. 2011 Accounts Receivable = 87.6 – 3.9 = $83.7 million; 2011 inventory = 33.5 – ( - 2.9) = $36.4 million c. 2011 Total Liabilities = 525.3 – 1.7 = $523.6 million. d. 2011 net property, plant, and equipment = 2012 net property, plant, and equipment – 2012 capital expenditures + 2012 depreciation = 244.3 – 26.6 + 27.5 = $245.2 million 2 - 2 3 . Can a firm with positive net income run out of cash? Explain. A firm can have positive net income but still run out of cash. For example, to expand its current production, a profitable company may spend more on investment activities than it generates from operating activities and financing activities. Net cash flow for that period would be negative, although its net income is positive. It could also run out of cash if it spends a lot on financing activities, perhaps by paying off other maturing long - term debt, repurchasing share s , or paying dividends. 2 - 2 4 . Suppose your firm receives a $ 4.1 million order on the last day of the year. You fill the order with $2 .9 million worth of inventory. The customer picks up the entire order the same day and pays $1 .5 million upfront in cash; you also issue a bill for the customer to pay the remaining balance of $ 2.6 million in 30 days. Suppose your firm’s tax rate is 0% (i.e., ignore taxes). Determine the consequences of this transaction for each of the following: a. Revenues b. Earnings c. Receivables d. Inventory e. Cash a. Revenues: increase by $4.1 million b. Earnings: increase by 4.1 – 2.9 = $1.2 million c. Receivables: increase by $2.6 million d. Inventory: decrease by $2.9 million e. Cash: increase by $1.2 million (earnings) – $2.6 million (receivables) + $2.9 million (inventory) = $1.5 million (cash). 2 - 2 5 . Nokela Industries purchases a $ 38.5 million cyclo - converter. The cyclo - converter will be depreciated by $ 7.7 million per year over four years, starting this year. Suppose Nokela’s tax rate is 40%. a. What impact will the cost of the purchase have on earnings for each of the next f ive years? b. What impact will the cost of the purchase have on the firm’s cash flow for the next f ive years? a. To calculate the impact on earnings for the next five years, we would have to deduct the depreciation expense. After taxes, this would lead to a decline of 7.7 × (1 – 40%) = $4.62 million each year for the next five years. b. Cash flow for the next five years: less $35.42 million ( – 4.62 + 7.7 – 38.5) this year, and add $3.08 million ( – 4.62 + 7.7) for the four following years. 2 - 2 6 .
