Fountain Corporation’s economists estimate that a good business environment and a bad business environment are equally likely for the coming year. The managers of the company must choose between two mutually exclusive projects. Assume that the project the company chooses will be the company’s only activity and that the company will close one year from today. The company is obligated to make a $4,900 payment to bondholders at the end of the year. The projects have the same systematic risk but different volatilities. Consider the following information pertaining to the two projects: Economy Probability Low-Volatility
Project Payoff High-Volatility
Project Payoff
Bad .50 $ 4,900 $ 4,300
Good .50 5,800 6,400
a. What is the expected value of the company if the low-volatility project is undertaken? The high-volatility project? (Do not round intermediate calculations and round your answers to the nearest whole number, e. g., 32.)
Expected value of the company
Low-volatility project $
High-volatility project $
b. What is the expected value of the company’s equity if the low-volatility project is undertaken? The high-volatility project? (Do not round intermediate calculations and round your answers to the nearest whole number, e. g., 32.)
Expected value of the company's equity
Low-volatility project $
High-volatility project $
c. Which project would the company’s stockholders prefer?
High-volatility project
Low-volatility project
d. Suppose bondholders are fully aware that stockholders might choose to maximize equity value rather than total company value and opt for the high-volatility project. To minimize this agency cost, the company's bondholders decide to use a bond covenant to stipulate that the bondholders can demand a higher payment if the company chooses to take on the high-volatility project. What payment to bondholders would make stockholders indifferent between the two projects? (Do not round intermediate calculations and round your answer to the nearest whole number, e. g., 32.)
Payment to bondholders $
