investment banker believes that the stock can be issued to yield P33-1/3. The price-earnings
ratio would remain at 12 to 1 if the stock were issued. The present market price is P36.

REQUIRED:

a. The Vice-President of Finance asks you to calculate the earnings per share and the
market value of the stock (assuming the price-earnings ratios given are valid
estimates) for the two proposals assuming total sales (including the new product line)
of:

1. P400,000 2. P600,000 3. P800,000

Costs exclusive of interests and taxes are about 90% of sales.

 Under the first proposal (debt financing), Cam Furniture Company is required to
issue long term debt amounting to P100,000 (this amount is 50% of present level
assets, and the additional capital needed for plant and inventory expansion.
 Under the second proposal (equity financing), Cam Furniture Company is required
to issue shares the will yield a total amount of P100,000. Since the investment
banker believes that company will yield P 33 1/3 for every share that will be
issued, the company shall issue 3,000 shares (P100,000/ P33 1/3 per share)

Notes/ Explanations:
 The total interest charges under debt financing is 7,000
o (40,000 * 5%) + (100,000 * 5%) = P7,000
 The total number of shares outstanding under equity financing is 13,000
shares (10,000 shares + additional 3,000 shares)
 The students believe that the there is a missing information with regards
to the P/E ratio of proposal for debt financing. The PE ratio of 12 to 1
cannot be used for debt financing because the problem provides that PE
ratio would remain at 12 to 1 if only the additional stocks were issued.
Computation for the number shares outstanding before issuance of
additional shares (in view of choosing the proposal of equity financing)
P/E Ratio = share price/ earnings per share
EPS = share price/ PE Ratio
= P36/ 12 times
= P3.00
No. of = Net Income/ EPS
Shares outstanding
= P30,000 / P3.00
= 10,000 shares

 The formula for earnings per share is:

Page 16 of 24
ALDERSGATE COLLEGE FINANCIAL MANAGEMENT 2
SCHOOL OF BUSINESS AND ACCOUNTANCY
EPS=Net Income /Number of Ordinary Shares Outstanding

 The formula for market value of the stock is

MV of the stock=EPS∗PE Ratio

2. a brief defense of the criteria used.

Cam Furniture Company is considering a plant and inventory expansion amounting to


100,000 (equal to 50% of its present asset level which is significant) to handle the
anticipated volume of a new product line. Since the company’s product is new to the
market, the sales growth during its early years is not guaranteed to be steady and high
enough to be able to pay the fixed interest and principal payments when a large debt
is to be issued. Hence, the criteria of liquidity problems and bankruptcy risk is
created. In addition, Cam Furniture Company is currently expanding its business so it
is necessary to maintain a good credit standing to enhance the value of its stock,
hence, the last criteria is created.

Page 17 of 24
ALDERSGATE COLLEGE FINANCIAL MANAGEMENT 2
SCHOOL OF BUSINESS AND ACCOUNTANCY
3. the proposal chosen in accordance with the criteria.

The Proposal 2 or the issuance of shares is chosen because the bankruptcy risk and
possible liquidity problems of the company which is currently undergoing through an
expansion is minimized. Moreover, the company is not obligated to pay fixed payments
but rather pay dividends whenever the sales of the company is already stable. Lastly, the
credit rating of the company is maintained by issuing equity, thus making it easier for the
company to obtain loans in the future for further expansion (when expansion guarantee
high and steady revenue).

c. Would your answer to B change if a sales level of P1, 200,000 or more could be
achieved? Explain.

No. The higher level of sales won’t affect the criteria mentioned above. Even if the sales
level increased, possible liquidity problems and bankruptcy risk will still be present if the
company chose to issue debt.

d. What reason(s) would the investment broker give to support the estimate of a lower
price-earnings ratio if debt is issued?

The first step in computing the price-earnings (P/E) ratio is to calculate the earnings per
share (EPS). Typically, EPS is the company’s after tax profits divided by the number of
shares outstanding. From the EPS, we can calculate the P/E ratio by dividing the
company’s current market share price by the earnings per share.
If debt is issued, the company’s EPS would be higher compared to the EPS if shares are
issued because of the corresponding increase in shares outstanding which will be used
as the denominator. Therefore, the company will get a lower P/E ratio because of the
higher EPS used.

Problem 2

Faye Industries Inc., a manufacturer of sporting goods, has a primary manufacturing plant which
is old and located within the limits of a large Midwestern city. Faye has recently obtained land in
a favorable location outside the city with the idea of building a modern, efficient facility to
replace the old manufacturing plant.

Faye Industries had planned to finance the P15, 300,000 cost of the new facility by issuing P1
par value ordinary share with an estimated market value of P2 per share. Alternately, Faye’s
investment banker indicated that the PI 5,300,000 could be raised through the sale of PI00 par
value, 13 percent, non-participating preference share at the market value of P120 per share or
the sale of P15,300,000 of 10 percent long-term bonds at P1,000 par.

Portions of Faye’s financial statements for the fiscal year ended November 30, 2010, are
presented below. The expected income before interest and taxes for the fiscal year ending
November 30, 2011, after building the new facility, is PI2, 978,000. There are no planned
dividend payments to ordinary shareholders for the fiscal year ending November 30, 2011. The
average before-tax cost of the existing long-term debt is 9.5 percent, and the company’s
effective tax rate is 40 percent.

financed by issuing.
