公司理财第7章作业参考答案

第7章习题答案1. (1)借款成本的计算:1K =7% (1-25%) /(1-2%)=5.35% (2)债券成本的计算:140×9%(1-25%)/150×(1-3%)=6.49% (3)优先股的资金成本12%/(1-4%)=12.5%(4)普通股成本:1.2/【10(1-6%)】+8%=20.7% (5)留存收益成本:1.2/10+8%=20% 计算加权平均成本:10%×5.35%+15%×6.49%+25%×12.5%+40%×20.7%+10%×20%=14.9%3. (1)计算普通股每股收益: 债券筹资:(2 000-300-440) ⨯0.75÷800=1.181 普通股筹资:(2 000-300) ⨯0.75÷1 000=1.275 优先股筹资:【(2 000-300) ⨯0.75-4 000⨯12%】÷800=0.994 (2)每股收益无差别点的计算: 债券筹资与普通股筹资的每股收益无差别点: (EBIT -300-4 000⨯11%) ⨯0.75÷800= (EBIT -300) ⨯0.75÷1 000EBIT =2 500(万元) 优先股筹资与普通股筹资的每股收益无差别点: [(EBIT -300) ⨯0.75 - 4 000⨯12%]÷ 800= (EBIT -300) ⨯0.75÷1000EBIT =3500(万元) (3)财务杠杆的计算: 筹资前的财务杠杆 = 1 600/ (1 600-300) =1.23 发行债券筹资的财务杠杆 =2 000/ (2 000 -300 - 4 000 ⨯ 11%) = 1.59 优先股筹资的财务杠杆 = 2 000/ (2 000 - 300 - 4 000⨯12%/0.75) =1.887 普通股筹资的财务杠杆 = 2 000/ (2 000 - 300) = 1.18 所以选择优先股筹资方案时,相同EBIT 增量造成的EPS 增量最大。

第七章证券投资管理一、复习思考题1.证券投资有哪些类型?答:证券投资按照不同的标准可分为不同的类型:(1)按发行的主体划分,证券可分为政府证券、政府机构证券和公司证券;(2)按准备持有证券时间的长短划分,证券可分为短期证券投资和长期证券投资;(3)按证券所代表的权利性质划分,证券可分为股票投资、债券投资和其他证券投资;(4)按证券收益的稳定性划分,证券可分为固定收益证券投资和变动收益证券投资。

2.证券投资的风险有哪些?答:证券投资通常面临着违约风险、利率风险、购买力风险、变现力风险和期限风险等。

(1)违约风险:是指证券发行人在证券到期时无法还本付息而使投资者遭受损失的风险。

(2)利率风险:是指市场利率变动引起证券投资收益变动,使投资者遭受损失的风险。

(3)购买力风险:又称通货膨胀风险,是由于通货膨胀、货币贬值而引起投资者实际收益水平下降的风险。

(4)变现力风险:又称流动性风险,是指投资者无法在短期内按合理价格出售证券的风险。

(5)期限风险:是指证券到期日长短给投资人带来的风险。

3.分析债券投资与股票投资的优缺点。

答:债券投资的优点:(1)风险小,本金安全性高;(2)收入比较稳定。

债券投资的缺点:(1)购买力风险比较大;(2)无经营管理权。

股票投资的优点:(1)投资收益高;(2)购买力风险较低;(3)拥有一定的经营管理权。

股票投资的缺点:(1)本金安全性低;(2)股价不稳定,受众多因素影响;(3)收益不稳定。

4.如何衡量证券组合投资的风险?答:证券投资组合风险的衡量重点在于分析和计算系统风险的影响程度。

系统风险可用β系数来衡量。

假设作为整体的证券市场的β系数为1,如果某种股票的风险情况与整个证β系数等于1;如果某种股票的β系数大于1,说明券市场的风险情况一致,则这种股票的β系数小于1,则说明其风险小于整个市其系统风险大于整个市场的风险;如果某种股票的场的风险。

5.常见的证券投资组合的策略有哪几种?答:常见的证券投资组合策略包括以下几种:(1)保守型策略。

第七章11、敏感性分析与盈亏平衡点我们正评估一个项目,该项目成本为724000美元,存续期限为8年,残值为0。

假设在项目生命期内以直线折旧法计提折旧,最终账面值为0。

预计每年的销售量为75000单位,每单位的价格为39美元,每单位的可变成本为23美元,每年固定成本为850000美元。

税率为35%,我们对该项目要求的收益率为15%。

a.计算会计盈亏平衡点b.计算基本情况下的现金流与净现值。

净现值对销售数额变动的敏感性如何?根据你的答案,说明当预测销售量减少500单位时会发生什么情况?c.营运现金流(OCF)对可变成本数值变动的敏感性如何?根据你的答案,说明当估计的可变成本降低1美元时会发生什么情况?14、题财务盈亏平衡点LJ 玩具公司刚刚购买了一台250000 美元的机器,以生产玩具车。

该机器将在其5 年的使用期限内以直线折旧法计提折旧。

每件玩具售价为25 美元。

每件玩具的可变成本为6 美元,每年公司的固定成本为360000 美元。

公司税率为34%。

适当的折现率为12%。

请问项目的财务盈亏平衡点是多少?解答:【EAC+固定成本*(1-税率)—折旧*税率】/(销售单价—单位变动成本)*(1—税率)则:EAC = 初始投资额/ PVIFA12%,5=$250,000 / 3.60478=$69,352.43每年的折旧:$250,000 / 5=$50,000现值盈亏平衡点=[EAC + FC(1 –tC) –Depreciation(tC)] / [(P –VC)(1 –tC)]= [$69,352.43 + $360,000(1 –0.34) –$50,000(0.34)] / [($25 –6)(1 –0.34)]= 23,122.20 或23,122 件第八章25.债券估值Morgan集团公司目前发行在外的有两份债券。

债券M面值为20000美元,20年后到期。

债券在前6年中不进行任何的利息支付,而后在接下来的8年中每6个月支付800美元,并在最后6年中每6个月支付1000美元。

第七章:风险分析、实物期权和资本预算1. 预测风险是指估计预期现金流发生错误的风险。

新产品的预测风险最高,因为其现金流比较难预测。

2. 敏感性分析中,一个变量通过大量数值检验出来;而场景分析中,所有的变量的值范围有限。

3. 如果平均收入低于平均成本,这个公司面临亏本,这是正确的。

因此这句话大部分都是正确的,不过,对于边际来说,接受一个边际收益大于边际成本的项目毫无疑问会增加营运现金流。

4. 从股东的角度看,财务盈亏平衡点当然是最重要的。

一个项目能够超过会计以及现金盈亏平衡点同时低于财务盈亏平衡点,这会减少股东财富。

5. 项目首先到达现金盈亏平衡点,其次是会计盈亏平衡点,再最后是财务盈亏平衡点。

只要一个项目需要初始投资,并且在项目期限中销售额与成本相等,这一顺序将一直适应。

6. 传统的NPV 分析法过于保守,因为它忽略了一些可以获利的选择,例如在项目获利时,扩大投资,或者在项目无利可图时,放弃该项目。

这种改变已接受项目的权利同样是有价值的,会增加NPV。

7. 如果这个国家刚刚开始市场化,其具有非常好的潜在增长率。

第一个进入市场不论是不是一个新市场或是一个新产品,都能给一个公司增加品牌效应以及市场份额,这会使得其他竞争者很难进入市场。

8. 敏感性分析能够决定当其他因素(例如固定成本,变动成本,或收入)变动时,盈亏平衡点怎么变动。

9. 等待一年在搬运木材这个决定有两个价值来源,第一个是木材的价格很可能会上涨,第二个是如果发生自然灾害或森林火灾时,木材的数量毫无疑问将增加。

这个期权对于伐木公司来说很有价值,该产业很多公司都运用模型依靠森林的年份来估计其未来的成长。

10. 当进一步分析得到一个负的NPV 时,就应停止进行分析。

因为进一步分析反应迅速,这意味着当进一步分析中盈利超过成本,这是一个错误决定的可能性也就更小。
