True or False questions

1-Starting to invest early for retirement increases the benefits of compound interest.

2- If the discount (or interest) rate is positive, the future value of an expected series of payments will always exceed the present value of the same series.

3- The market value of any real or financial asset, including stocks, bonds, or art work purchased in hope of selling it at a profit, may be estimated by determining future cash flows and then discounting them back to the present.

4- Yield to maturity is higher than the coupon interest rate if a bond is trading at Premium.

5- There exists a negative relationship between outstanding bond prices and going market interest rates.

6- The cost of perpetual preferred stock is found as the preferred's annual dividend divided by the market price of the preferred stock. No adjustment is needed for taxes because preferred dividends, unlike interest on debt, are not deductible by the issuing firm.

7- In case of conflict, one should always choose the IRR method (over the NPV method) because the IRR is inherently superior to the NPV method.

8- For capital budgeting and cost of capital purposes, the firm should assume that each dollar of capital is obtained in accordance with its target capital structure, which for many firms means partly as debt, partly as preferred stock, and partly common equity.

9- NPV and IRR methods are based on identical assumptions regarding reinvestment rate of future cash flows.

Franco Modigliani and Merton Miller (M & M) are two very famous financial economists that both won the Nobel Prize in Economics for their work in the finance area, particularly in capital structure theories (see the Description of this in the box on page 504 of your text). In their famous 1958 article (see footnote on page 490), they argued that with perfect capital markets, the total value of a firm should not depend on its capital structure. In other words, the total value of a firm would be the same with all equity, or financing with 100% debt. This is the basic MM Proposition I stated on p.493. But, as you should see, the "perfect capital markets" assumes 3 key assumptions, including no taxes or transactions costs dealing with equity or debt. Additionally, a key assumption is that individuals and firms can trade the same set of securities at competitive market prices equal to the present value of their future cash flows. These assumptions are necessary for the M&M theory on capital structure. For the Proposition M&M II beginning on page 498, still in a perfect capital market which includes no taxes, M&M state that the cost of capital of EQUITY increases with the firm's market value debt-equity ratio. But, when you examine this Proposition more closely, for a new investment the cost of capital will equal the weighted average of the firm's equity and debt costs. What does this mean in practical terms? It means that M&M "loosens" a part of the Proposition I, and admit that the cost of equity does increase as the debt-equity ratio increases. But, if you examine this closely, it means that the OVERALL cost of capital, captured in the WACC stays constant. And, the pre-tax WACC is the same as the after-tax WACC, since there is no tax! If the WACC stays constant while the equity cost increases, the figure also shows that the debt costs are also going up; similarly, if the equity costs are going down, then the debt costs are going down also as the debt-to-value decreases. This is shown on page 500 in Figure 14.1. And, of course, the weights of debt and equity (0/100, 25/75, 50/50, 75/25, 100/0) count. But, in the real-world, the M&M Propositions do not hold....corporations and individuals do have taxes, and do have transactions costs for debt and equity...buying bonds and stocks, for example. So, as we have learned, the Beta coefficient for equity does increase as the amount of debt level increases (due to increasing risks of default of interest payments or repayment of the bonds at maturity)...and the costs of debt increase, but as we weight those, the WACC actually varies, based on the real-world that includes taxes....we normally see the WACC being a U-shaped curved that varies as a function of the debt to equity ratio.

Questions:

1. Discuss the MM Proposition I and MM Proposition II (definition, assumptions, results and implications)? Remember, at the MBA level, more is better. But, to the point, and no "hot air."

Notes to Consolidated financial Statements

1.Summary of Major Accounting Policies

Description of Business

The company is principally in the retail drugstore business and its operations are within one reportable segment. At August 31,2013 there was 8,582 drugstore and other locations in 50 states, the District of Columbia, Guam, and Puerto Rico. Prescription sales were 62.9% of total sales for fiscal 2013 compared to 63.2% in 2012 and 64.7% in 2011.

Allowance for Doubtful Accounts

The provision for bad debt is based on both historical write-off percentages and specifically identified receivables. Activity in the allowance for doubtful accounts was as follows (In millions):

	2013	2012	2011
Balance at beginning of year	$99	$101	$104
Bad debt provision	$124	$107	$88
Write-offs	($69)	($109)	($91)
Balance at end of year	$154	$99	$101

Inventories

Inventories are valued on a lower of last-in, first-out (LIFO) cost or market basis. At August 31, 2013 and 2012, inventories would have been greater by $2.1 billion and $1.9 billion, respectively, if they had been valued on a lower of first-in, first-out (FIFO) cost or market basis. As a result of declining inventory levels, the fiscal 2013 and 2012 LIFO provisions were reduced by $194 million and $268 million of LIFO liquidation, respectively. Inventory includes product costs, inbound freight, warehousing costs, and vendor allowances not classified as a reduction of advertising expense.

3.Leases

The company owns 20.2% of its operating locations; the remaining locations are leased premises. Initial terms are typically 20 to 25 years, followed by additional terms containing renewal options at five-year intervals, and may include rent escalation clauses. The commencement date of all lease terms is the earlier of the date the company becomes legally obligated to make rent payments or the date the Company has to right to control the property. The Company recognizes rent expense on a straight-line basis over the term of the lease. In addition to minimum fixed rentals, some leases provide for contingent rentals based upon a portion of sales.

Minimum rental commitments at August 31, 2013, under all leases having an initial or remaining non-cancelable term of more than one year are shown below (in Millions):

	Capital Lease	Operatin Lease
2014	$19	$2,536
2015	$19	$2,514
2016	$18	$2,464
2017	$17	$2,389
2018	$15	$2,292
Later	$270	$23,507
Total Minimum lease Payments	$358	$35,702

The capital lease amoutn includes $155 million of imputed interest and executory costs. Total minimum lease payments have not been reduced by minimum sublease rentals of approximately $140 million on leases due in the future under non-cancelable subleases.

The Company remains secondarily liable on 26 assigned leases. The maiximum potential undiscounted future payments are $18 million at August 31, 2013. Lease option dates vary, with some extending to 2041.
