Please answer question 2 again. With proper answer as studied in Malaysian education standard.
Question 2
Based on the current capitalization, Roce Sdn Bhd (RSB) has made the following forecast for the
coming year:
The company has RM20,000,000 worth of debt outstanding and all of its debt yields 6%. The
company's tax rate is 30%. The company's price earnings (P/E) ratio has traditionally been 8 x .
The company's investment bankers have suggested that the company recapitalize. Their suggestion is to have an additional amount of debt by issuing enough new bonds at a yield of 6% to repurchase 1,400,000 shares of common stock.
Assume that the repurchase will have no effect on the company's operating income; however, the repurchase will increase the company's dollar interest expense. Also, assume that as a result of the increased financial risk, the company's price earnings (P/E) ratio will be 8x after the
repurchase.
What would be the expected year-end stock price if the company proceeded with the
recapitalization? Should RSB proceed with the recapitalization?
