Consider two firms, With and Without, that have identical assets that generate identical cash flows. Without is an all-equity firm, with 1 million shares outstanding that trade for a price of $24 per share. With has 2 million shares outstanding and $12 million dollars in debt at an interest rate of 5%. There is no corporate tax.
Assume that MM's perfect capital markets conditions are met and that you can borrow and lend at the same 5% rate as with. You have $5000 of your own money to invest and you plan on buying Without stock. Using homemade leverage you borrow enough in your margin account so that the payoff of your margined purchase of Without stock will be the same as a $5000 investment in with stock. The number of shares of Without stock you purchased is closest to:

Taggart Transcontinental has a value of $500 million if it continues to operate, but has outstanding debt of $600 million.

Instead of declaring bankruptcy, Taggart proposes to exchange the firm's debt for a fraction of its equity in a workout. The minimum fraction of the firm's equity that Taggart would need to offer to its creditors for the workout to be successful is closest to:
A50% B75% C83% D90%
