...Chapter 14 2. What is the total market value of the firm without leverage? a. Without leverage = 2*2 m = 4,000,000 million (total market value) b. Suppose you borrow 1 million. According to MM, what fraction of the firm’s equity will you need to sell to raise an additional 1 million you need? “ As long as the firms choice of securities does not change the cash flows generated by its assets must have the same total market value” ( Berk & DeMarzo, 2010, pg. 455). Therefore, the total value of the firm is still 4 million dollars. Because they borrowed 1 million they have 1 million of debt and 3 million of equity. 1/3 = 33% of equity must be sold in order to raise a million dollars. c. What is the value of your share of the firm’s equity in cases a and b ? Case A: 50% * 4 million = 2 million Case B: 2/3 * 3 million = 2 million 4a. Expected return without leverage: .5 * 450 + .5 * 200 = 325 / 250 = 1.30 expected return without leverage = 30% 4b. What will be the market value of its equity just after the dividend is paid according to MM? E + D = 250 ; D = 100 ; E + 100 = 250 ; 250 – 100 = 150 ; E = 150 4c. What is the expected return of MM stock after the dividend is paid in part b? .5 * 450- 105 + .5 (200 – 105) = 172.50 + 47.5 = 220 /150 = 1.4666666 The expected return of MM stock after dividend is paid would be 46.67 14a.

...Chapter 14: SOLUTIONS TO TEXT PROBLEMS: Quick Quizzes 1. When a competitive firm doubles the amount it sells, the price remains the same, so its total revenue doubles. 2. The price faced by a profit-maximizing firm is equal to its marginal cost because if price were above marginal cost, the firm could increase profits by increasing output, while if price were below marginal cost, the firm could increase profits by decreasing output. A profit-maximizing firm decides to shut down in the short run when price is less than average variable cost. In the long run, a firm will exit a market when price is less than average total cost. 3. In the long run, with free entry and exit, the price in the market is equal to both a firm’s marginal cost and its average total cost, as Figure 1 shows. The firm chooses its quantity so that marginal cost equals price; doing so ensures that the firm is maximizing its profit. In the long run, entry into and exit from the industry drive the price of the good to the minimum point on the average-total-cost curve. [pic] Figure 1 Questions for Review 1. A competitive firm is a firm in a market in which: (1) there are many buyers and many sellers in the market; (2) the goods offered by the various sellers are largely the same; and (3) usually firms can freely enter or exit the market. 2. Figure 2 shows the cost curves for a typical firm. For a given price (such as P*), the level of output that maximizes profit is...

...The chapter 14 case talks about Amazon, and describes its way until became one of the largest companies of online shopping, and Kindle as one of the first generation of Kindle. Amazon according to the case has no roof over its head which would mean that technically there’s not a particular shopping store where you can go and buy something. But is online shopping, and where the sellers and buyers are connected with each-other through phone calls, website, and emails as a particular way to connect every one of us. As of now Amazon is one of the biggest online sellers with almost $32.4 in 2010. Only with the amount of money that Amazon profits, we can see that it is a very big company, and pretty much the biggest one. Today there are a high amount of people that would buy something they need online rather than shopping, as of losing time, while they can do something else. 1. Describe Amazon’s product service mix. Which areas of Amazon’s operations are characteristic of a manufacturing organization? Which areas are characteristic of a service organization?

...Chapter 14 Summary/ Definition Retailing includes all of the activities involved in selling goods or services directly to final consumers for personal, nonbusiness use. Retailer or retail store is any business enterprise whose sales volume comes primarily from retailing. Retail life cycle retail-store types pass through stages of growth and decline that can be described as the Wheel-of-retailing hypothesis, after conventional retail stores increase their services and raise their prices to cover the cost. These higher costs provide an opportunity for new retail forms to emerge with lower prices and less service 1. Self-service: The cornerstone of all discount stores, self-service allows customers to save money by carrying out their own locate-compare-select process. 2. Self-selection: Customers find their own goods, although they can ask for help. 3. Limited service: These retailers carry more shopping goods, and customers need more information and assistance. The stores also offer services (such as credit and merchandise-return privileges). 4. Full service: Salespeople are ready to assist in the locate-compare-select process. The high staffing cost, the higher proportion of specialty goods, slower-moving items, and more services, add up to high-cost retailing. Corporate retailing Such organizations achieve economies of scale and have greater purchasing power, wider brand recognition, and better-trained employees. Target Market A retailer’s most important...

...Activity 1: 1. Lincoln attempted to carve out a moderate position on slavery, by basically saying that he did not highly like the idea of slavery however he would not stop people or states from having or acquiring slaves.
