Corporate Finance Assignment Critically Analysing 4 Case Scenarios

Question

Task: Question 1
Part a.In Feb’2018, Amazon raised US$3.5bn by issuing 10-year bonds carrying annual coupon of 3.15%. Amazon could also have raised the same amount of funds from the equity market. What benefits does Amazon get by raising funds via bonds that they would not have received by issuing equity? Why do you think the company did not take a bank loan for the total amount raised? (5 marks) Part bIn Feb’2018, Amazon raised US$3.5bn by issuing 10-year bonds carrying annual coupon of 3.15%.The face value of the bond is $1000 and the coupon is paid every six months.

i. If the bond yield at the time of issue was 3.5%, what would be the price of the bond at the time of issue?
ii. If the bond yield at the time of issue was 3.0%, what would be the price of the bond at the time of issue? (3 marks)
iii. It is said that the price of a bond is inversely proportional to the prevailing interest rates. Prove this statement by taking the case of the above bond and computing the price of the bond at the above two yields (3.0%, and 3.5%) for different times from maturity. You may compute the bond prices at 5 years, 2 years, 1 year, and at maturity. (10 marks)
iv. What would be the price of the bond immediately before the payment of the final coupon (compute for both bond yields)? (2 marks)
v. What would be the price of the bond immediately after the payment of the final coupon (compute for both bond yields)? (2 marks)

Question 2
Mr. Kahn had $100,000 in his account. Using this fund, he made a portfolio of two– Microsoft Inc. (MSFT) and Tesla Inc. (TSLA) on 01 Jan 2020 in the ratio of 60:40, i.e. 60% funds in MSFT & 40% funds in TSLA.

The daily stock data of both stocks is attached herewith for reference. Using the stock data of the two stocks, you are required to compute the following:

a. Annual return of both MSFT and TSLA.
b. Annualized standard deviation of returns of both MSFT and TSLA. (3 marks)
c. Correlation coefficient of returns of MSFT and TSLA. What does this correlation coefficient signify about the correlation of the two stocks? (3 marks)
d. Portfolio return of the portfolio of two stocks. (3 marks)
e. Portfolio risk (standard deviation) of the portfolio of two stocks. (3 marks)
f. What do you infer from the portfolio risk and return so computed? Is there a better way to form a portfolio of these two stocks which will give higher returns with a lesser total risk? (6 marks)

Question 3 (35 marks)
Part a. Interpret the weighted average cost of capital (WACC) for a company. Why do finance managers focus on figuring out a company’s WACC? (10 marks)

You are required to compute the various components of WACC and the WACC of Amazon using the above information.
i. Compute the cost of debt (Kd) of the company.
ii. Compute the cost of equity (Ke) of the company using CAPM. (3 marks)
iii. Compute the capital structure of the company. (5 marks)
iv. Compute the WACC of the companytaking corporate tax rate as 21%. (5 marks)
v. How would you interpret the values of Kd, Ke, and WACC computed in this question for a technology company such as Amazon? Draw your analogies from corresponding prices of other competitive companies in the landscape to arrive at your conclusions. (10 marks)

Further, the following information is available for computing the cost of equity:
For CAPM, you may refer to the share price data of AMZN and the NASDAQ index data (in US$) for one year from 1 Jan 2019 to 31 Dec 2019 (attached with this document) for computing the Beta. Necessary adjustment in the beta would be required to get a better estimate of the cost of equity.

Consider Rf = 1%, equity risk premium = 6%.

Question 4
Analyze the Bernard Madoff Investment Scandal 2008 from the perspective of Agency Theory and Corporate Governance. Your answer may first explain the above two concepts of Agency Theory and Corporate Governance and then explain and analyze the Madoff scandal from the perspective of these concepts. (20 marks)

Answer

Answer 1
Part a.

As per the case scenario explored in this corporate finance assignment, the Amazon has raised funds by issuing 10-year bonds at a coupon rate of 3.5% instead of raising by equity, the benefits which amazon get are it has to a fixed rate of interest in the case of bonds whereas if equity is issued then equity shareholders have right to all profits of the company that means the fluctuating rate of return. Also, the bondholders don’t have voting rights whereas equity shareholders have voting rights. In the case of a bank loan, amazon has to first get the loan amount sanctioned against some mortgage & also there is interest rates may be more than the coupon rate. So, it will be better to raise funds by issuing bonds.

TSLA (40%)

$40,000

a. Calculation of Annual Return done in the corporate finance assignment Annual Return = (Closing Price - Opening Price)/Opening Price X 100

MSFT = (157.59-101.12)/101.12 X 100
= 55.84%

TSLA = (82.94-62.02)/62.02 X 100
= 33.73%

b. Calculation of Standard Deviation
Standard Deviation = standard deviation in corporate finance assignment

Where,
N= Total number of Population
Xi=Price
U=Mean of Price

c) Calculation of Co-relation Coefficient based on the scenario of corporate finance assignment

Correlation Coefficient = Cov (MSFT, TSLA) / S.D. MSFT X S.D. TSLA
Cov (MSFT, TSLA) = Summation of Average of MSFT & TSLA / N -1
= 3891.96397628404/ (251-1)
= 15.56785591

r = 15.5678 / (11.41 X 7.39)
= 0.18

The two stocks are having positive correlation but very less.

d. Calculation of Portfolio Return in the corporate finance assignment
Portfolio Return = Return of MSFT X Weight + Return of TSLA X Weight
= 55.84% X 0.6 + 33.73% X 0.4
= 47.00%

e. Calculation of Portfolio Standard Deviation
S.D. of Portfolio = Square root of (X1^2) X (S.D.1^2) + (X2^2) X (S.D.2^2) + 2 X X1 X X2 X S.D.1 X S.D.2 X R
= Square root of (0.5584^2) X (0.0505^2) + (0.3373^2) X (0.0107^2) + 2 X 0.5584 X 0.3373 X 0.505 X 0.0107 X 0.18
= Square Root of 0.0011746070085953
= 0.03427254
= 3.42%
(Working Note at the end after references)

f. It is seen in this corporate finance assignmentthat the Portfolio Return is less as compared to Stock MSFT & high as compared to TSLA. Whereas the portfolio risk is low as compared to both so it can be said that the weight of stock MSFT & TSLA is perfect as return is getting at low risk as compared to stocks.

Answer 3:
Part a
. The Weighted average cost of capital is a calculation of a firm's cost of capital in which each capital category is apportioned. It is calculated by managers to review the cost of the company.

Part b.
i) Calculation of the cost of debt (Kd) of the company

Cost of Debt = Interest * (1-Tax) * 100
Long term Borrowings
= 1600 * (1-21%) *100
23414
= 1264 *100
23414
= 5.40%

ii) Computation of the cost of equity (Ke) of the company
Rf = 1%
Equity Risk Premium = 6%

For Beta
Return on Amazon = (Closing Price - Opening Price)/Opening Price X 100
= (1846.89-1539.13)/1539.13 X 100
= 20.00%

Return on Market = (Closing Price - Opening Price)/Opening Price X 100
= (8945.99-6665.94)/6665.94 X 100
= 32.20%

Beta = Covariance (Security, Market)
Variance (Market)
= 1.14
0.97
= 1.17
Levered Beta =
Unlevered Beta*((1+(1-tax rate)*(Debt/Equity))
= 1.54

Return on Equity (Ke) = Rf + Beta * Equity Risk Premium
= 1% + 1.54 * (6%)
= 10.24%

(Working note at the end)

v) Interpretation
Cost of Debt i.e. Kd refers to the effective rate of interest which is being paid by company on its debt fund
Cost of Equity i.e. Ke refers to the required rate of return on a particular project or investment. Weighted Average Cost of Capital i.e. WACC refers to the Company’s overall cost of capital in which each component i.e Equity or debt are proportionately weighted.
Summary of calculation done in part i) to iv) are:

Particulars

Details

Cost of Debt (Kd)

5.40%

Cost of Equity (Ke)

10.24%

Weighted Average Cost of Capital (WACC)

8.91%

Since in the present case of corporate finance assignment, Cost of Debt is lower than the cost of equity which reflects that the company is having less fixed obligations to pay in the form of Interest. Also, to finance the project debt is the cheaper source of financing.

Answer 4.
Analysis of Agency theory and corporate governance

Analysing Agency Theory from the two articles written by Charles. W. L.Hill and Thomas M. Jones from the Business Administration School, University of Washington, and another article by Lex Donaldson and James H. Davis.

Agency theory focuses on the protection of shareholders' interests by separating the roles of board chair and CEO. Agency theory refers to the relationship between the owners or can also be termed as principal and the agent i.e. it is a principal and agent relationship.

Where principals are the stakeholders or owners of the organization and agents are the executives of the company hired on behalf of the stakeholders or shareholders of the company. Agency theory considered in the corporate finance assignment works on management and economic theory. Principals of the company delegate their powers to the agents of the company. Due to agency theory complexities in the organizations have reduced to a minimal level. Agency theory works on the mechanism of governance structure which helps in the reduction of agency loss. Agency theory helps in monitoring of managerial actions on behalf of shareholders. In agency theory CEO of the company holds the dual role of the chair, where the CEO’s duality is retained and shareholders’ interests are safeguard by providing some incentive scheme to the CEO and the shareholders where incentive scheme includes long term additional compensation along with the basic salary. Though the CEO may be the agent of stockholders and the board too, in the long run, they are principal too in the principal and agent relationship. In agency theory it is assumed that principals are in the driver’s seat running the company by specifying preferences, making contracts, deciding incentives, etc that agents must follow, it sometimes becomes more problematic. Relationships become stronger as time passes as with the passing time both principal and agent collect data and information about each other and there bonding becomes stronger. Principals learn which incentives will suit more and agents learn about the preferences they serve. Agency theory is like permutation and combinations which is exploring agency experience in the corporate firm. Stakeholders are the group of people who holds the legitimate claim on the company, these stakeholders contribute critical resources in the form of capital to the firm and in return, they expect risk-adjusted returns on the capital invested by them to satisfy their interests. Stakeholders also include creditors, suppliers, customers, communities, and the general public whereby creditors provide finance to the firm and in return expect their loans to be repaid on time, suppliers provide input to the firm and in return expect a fair price to be paid to them on the input supplied by them to the firm, customers supply revenues to the firm and expect value for money in return and local communities provide the firm with local infrastructure and in return they expect a good standard of life for the corporate citizens (French P., 1995).

Corporate Governance
The concept of corporate governance explored in this segment of corporate finance assignment is a collection of rules, law, or processes which is used by various parties to control, regulate, and operate corporations. It is surrounded by both internal and external factors which affect the interest of companies’ stakeholders including shareholders, customers, suppliers, management, and government regulators. Corporate governance aims at assessing the risk and how the performance of the company can be improved. Corporate governance practices should be changed from time to time with the changing circumstances of the company. Sound corporate governance practices encourages the company to generate high utility through entrepreneurialism, growth, and innovation it also provides accountability and control systems with the risk involved in the company. Implementation of corporate governance in the organization not only protects the interests of the local investors but it also protects the interest of the outside investors. Good corporate governance shows investors the company’s way of working and sound integrity and it helps companies in building trust with various stakeholders of the organization.

Abrief discussion on Bernard Madoff's investment scandal 2008 from the article written by Dr. Mohammad I. Azim, Accounting and Finance, Swinburne University of Technology, andDr. Saiful Azam, School of Accounting, College of Business.

The Bernard Madoff scandalwas a major case of fraud in stock and securities which were discovered in the year2008. It was considered as the worst white-collar crime where well-respected financier Madoff encouraged numbers of innocent investors to give their savings and falsely promising them to pay consistent returns. By using the Ponzi scheme, Madoff tricked the investors by paying them extraordinary returns from their money and they also used the money of the new investors. Bernard Madoff started his market firm in the year 1960 and he was one of the popularly known members of the financial industry which helped him to start the NASDAQ stock market. His firm kept on growing and he gained a reputation in the market. Madoff cheated his clients with the funds of almost $65 billion but in actual it revealed only $17.3 billion. Bernard was given 150 years of prison along with the restitution of US $ 17 billion (Azim and Azam, 2016).

Analysing Madoff scandal from the perspective of agency theory and corporate governance.

  • Madoff scandal from corporate governance: In this corporate finance assignment, the main aim of corporate governance in the company is assessing the risk and implementing the regulatory frameworks for the protection of investors’ interest. In companies, it is the responsibility of the auditors to assess the risk and to detect the duplicity, it is the responsibility of auditors to express their view on the financial statements with sufficient assurance and they should follow proper auditing methods to make sure that financial statements are free from incorrect statements caused due to inaccuracy or other fraudulent activities (Chen, 2020). This objective can only be achieved if auditors work with professionalism. Auditor has to discuss any suspected fraud with their team members and other members of the entity including the staff members regarding the risk of inaccuracy. Auditing standards require that if auditors detect any fraud they must communicate with the regulatory authorities and the staff charged with the governance. In the Madoff scandal since major positions were occupied by the members of the family and it was the duty of the auditor of the company to perform his auditing following the auditing procedures and following his professional code of conduct. Regulation bodies failed to maintain auditor quality (Sinha and Chaganty, 2010).
  • Madoff scandal from Agency theory-: Major feature in the Bernard Madoff scandal mentioned herein corporate finance assignment was that Bernard relied on only his close family members and friends. Major positions were held by his family members even the legal consultants and auditors were close members of the company where the bonds of loyalty were stronger than money bonds and this was the main reason because of which Ponzi scheme kept on going for an unusually long period which led to painful losses. Ponzi scheme is one of the examples of what the police often called “affinity scams” because victims know each other properly and have shared heritage. Since major positions were held by the family members and friends it gives them power, positions, and capability to commit fraud easily and to fulfil their non-shareable needs. It is determined in this corporate finance assignmentthat due to poor internal control systems especially in the case of segregation of duties in the organization, it gives fraudsters a positive approach to commit fraud. In the Madoff scandal as Madoff was the head of the company which gave him more advantages and it also gave him enough opportunities and increased chances to do the crime without being asked by anyone. Since major positions were given to known family members and friends and this gave Bernard Madoff sufficient power in the management to design internal controls and also to design corporate governance of the company in his advantageous way. All the key players in the company were his family members where the chief compliance officer’s post was held by his brother, his niece held the position of general counsel and compliance rules attorney. Madoff approved and claimed on using an independent auditor in the organization. Because of his excellent reputation, Madoff got an opportunity to gain investors trust, which gave investors a lack oversight and many investors fell into the Ponzi scheme thinking that fund management company outside a banking institution reduces fees and saves their money because of this mentality of stakeholders agency theory proved wrong as stakeholders truly relied on the management of the company (Wennermark2, 2013).
