问一道题:NO.PZ2016021705000054

问题如下:

A company can borrow funds at an after-tax cost of 4.5 percent. The companys stock price is $40 per share, earnings per share is $2.00, and the company has 15 million shares outstanding. If the company borrows just enough to repurchase 2 million shares of stock at the prevailing market price, that companys earnings per share is most likely to:

选项:

A.

increase.

B.

decrease.

C.

remain the same.

解释:

A  is correct.

The companys earnings yield (E/P) is $2/$40 = 0.05. When the earnings yield is greater than the after-tax cost of borrowed funds, EPS will increase if shares are repurchased using borrowed funds.

老师请问,这题不是直接算E/P=2/(40-2)=5.26%大于after tax cost就可判断为increase吗

同学你好, 你的思路是对的: 如果 Earning yield (E/P) > after tax cost of debt, Increase EPS

但是 Earning yield (E/P) 的公式算错了, 正确的计算方式就在解析中, 直接用 EPS before buyback (2) / Share price at the time of buyback (40) 即可.

如果概念不熟悉, 可以参考基础班讲义 P156 的例题
