Problem

The world airline system is composed of the routes X and Y, each of which requires 10 aircraft. These routes can be serviced by three types of aircraft—A, B, and C. There are 5 type A aircraft available, 10 type B, and 10 type C. These aircraft are identical except for their operating costs, which are as follows:

  Annual Operating Cost ($ millions)

Aircraft Type Route X Route Y

A 1.5 1.5

B 2.5 2.0

C 4.5 3.5

The aircraft have a useful life of five years and a salvage value of $1 million.

The aircraft owners do not operate the aircraft themselves but rent them to the operators. Owners act competitively to maximize their rental income, and operators attempt to minimize their operating costs. Airfares are also competitively determined. Assume the cost of capital is 10%.

a. Which aircraft would be used on which route, and how much would each aircraft be worth?

b. What would happen to usage and prices of each aircraft if the number of type A aircraft increased to 10?

c. What would happen if the number of type A aircraft increased to 15?

d. What would happen if the number of type A aircraft increased to 20?

State any additional assumptions you need to make.

Step-by-step solution

Equilibrium refers to the state in which the market demand is equal to the market supply. This situation leads to a level where prices are stable.

The competitive price is the price of a product based upon the competition. Competitive prices are charged by the business players in similar industry.

Comment

The airline system is composed of two routes, X and Y, and each route requires 10 aircrafts. There are 5 types of A aircraft, 10 types of B and 10 types of C. Useful life is five years and salvage value is $1 million. Cost of capital is 10%.

The operating costs for aircrafts are as follows:

Aircraft Type Annual Operating cost ($ millions)

Route X Route Y

A 1.5 1.5

B 2.5 2

C 4.5 3.5

Comment

Computation of price of Type – A and Price B:

The following are the important issues in computation of price of Type – A and B:

(a) The aircraft will be deployed in a manner that will minimize costs. That is, each aircraft will be used on the route for which it has the greatest competitive advantage.

(b) It will be assumed that Route X is served with five Type – As and five Type – Bs and Route Y is served with five Type – Bs and five Type – Cs.

(c) The balance of Type – C aircrafts will be scrapped.

(d) The maximum price to pay for the aircraft is the additional cost to be incurred if the aircraft is not serviced regularly.

Preface

⟩ This book describes the theory and practice of corpo- rate finance. We hardly need to explain why financial

managers have to master the practical aspects of their job, but we should spell out why down-to-earth manag- ers need to bother with theory.

Managers learn from experience how to cope with routine problems. But the best managers are also able to respond to change. To do so you need more than time- honored rules of thumb; you must understand why com- panies and financial markets behave the way they do. In other words, you need a theory of finance.

Does that sound intimidating? It shouldn’t. Good theory helps you to grasp what is going on in the world around you. It helps you to ask the right questions when times change and new problems need to be analyzed. It also tells you which things you do not need to worry about. Throughout this book, we show how managers use financial theory to solve practical problems.

Of course, the theory presented in this book is not per- fect and complete—no theory is. There are some famous controversies where financial economists cannot agree. We have not glossed over these disagreements. We set out the arguments for each side and tell you where we stand.

Much of this book is concerned with understanding what financial managers do and why. But we also say what financial managers should do to increase company value. Where theory suggests that financial managers are making mistakes, we say so, while admitting that there may be hidden reasons for their actions. In brief, we have tried to be fair but to pull no punches.

This book may be your first view of the world of modern finance. If so, you will read first for new ideas, for an understanding of how finance theory translates into practice, and occasionally, we hope, for entertain- ment. But eventually you will be in a position to make financial decisions, not just study them. At that point, you can turn to this book as a reference and guide.

⟩ Changes in the Thirteenth Edition We are proud of the success of previous editions of Principles, and we have done our best to make the thir- teenth edition even better.

Some of the biggest changes in this edition were prompted by the tax changes enacted in the U.S. Tax

Cuts and Jobs Act passed in December 2017. One of the chapters most affected was Chapter 6, which is con- cerned with calculating the present value of capital proj- ects. We describe the major tax changes in that chapter, and we work through an example of a capital budget- ing problem with 100% bonus depreciation and a 21% corporate tax rate. But the U.S. system of immediate expensing of capital expenditures is almost unique. So we also set out examples of the more common systems of straight-line depreciation and double- declining-balance, which is essentially identical to the former U.S. MACRS depreciation.

Another 2017 tax change was the limit imposed on interest tax shields. For companies that are caught by this change, it may no longer make sense to discount cash flows by the weighted average cost of capital. We discuss the implications for company debt policy in Chapter 18. In Chapter 19, we show how adjusted present value can be used in these cases to value companies and projects. Similarly, the cap on interest tax shields complicates the valuation of leases. In Chapter 25, we show that when the cap is operative, leases need to be valued by constructing an equivalent loan. Finally, in Chapter 32, we consider the possible effect on the private-equity market.

The third important change was the switch by the United States to a territorial tax system. This has major implications for tax strategies, which we largely dis- cuss in the chapters on working capital management ( Chapter 30) and mergers (Chapter 31).

U.S. financial managers work in a global environment and need to understand the financial systems of other countries. Also, many of the text’s readers come from countries other than the United States. Therefore, in recent editions we have progressively introduced more interna- tional material, including information about the major developing economies, such as China and India. In the current edition, we have continued to augment the interna- tional content. We hope that an understanding of practices in other countries will also lead to a better understanding of the characteristics of one’s own financial system.

Users of previous editions of this book will not find dramatic changes in coverage or in the ordering of top- ics. However, there are a number of chapters that have been thoroughly rewritten. For example, the material on agency issues in Chapter 12 has been substantially revised. Chapter 13 on market efficiency and behavioral

finance is now fresher and more up to date. Chapter 23 on credit risk focuses more on the practical issues of forecasting default probabilities.

Throughout, we have tried to make the book more up-to-date and easier to read. In many cases, the changes consist of some updated data here and a new example there. Often, these additions reflect some recent devel- opment in the financial markets or company practice.

In the 11th edition, we added digital extensions through our Beyond the Page features, or “apps” as we call them. This extra material can allow us to escape from some of the constraints of the printed page by providing more explanation for readers who need it and additional mate- rial for those who would like to dig deeper. The Beyond the Page features include extra examples and spreadsheet programs, as well as some interesting anecdotes.

There are now more than 150 of these apps. They are all seamlessly available with a click on the e-versions of the book, but they are also readily accessible from the traditional hard copy of the text through the shortcut URLs. Check out mhhe.com/brealey13e to learn more.

Examples of these applications include:

∙ Chapter 1  In Chapter 1, we refer to Bernard Madoff’s ponzi scheme. But this scam pales into insignificance compared with the great Albanian ponzi scheme, which is described in an app.

∙ Chapter 2 Do you need to learn how to use a finan- cial calculator? The Beyond the Page financial cal- culator application shows how to do so.

∙ Chapter 3 Would you like to calculate a bond’s dura- tion, see how it predicts the effect of small interest rate changes on bond price, calculate the duration of a com- mon stock, or learn how to measure convexity? The duration application for Figure 3.2 allows you to do so.

∙ Chapter 5 Want more practice in valuing annuities? There is an application that provides worked exam- ples and hands-on practice.

∙ Chapter 9  How about measuring the betas of the Fama–French three-factor model for U.S. stocks? The Beyond the Page beta estimation application does this.

∙ Chapter 14 Ever wonder why Google split its stock into A and C shares? An app provides the answer.

∙ Chapter 15  Want to now how companies can raise capital by an initial coin offering?  There is an app on the topic.

∙ Chapter 19  The text briefly describes the flow-to- equity method for valuing businesses, but using the method can be tricky. We provide an application that guides you step by step.

∙ Chapter 20  The Black–Scholes Beyond the Page application provides an option calculator. It also shows

how to estimate the option’s sensitivity to changes in the inputs and how to measure an option’s risk.

∙ Chapter 28 Would you like to view the most recent financial statements for different U.S. companies and calculate their financial ratios? There is an appli- cation that will do this for you.

We believe that the apps offer an opportunity to widen the types of material that can be made available and help the reader to decide how deeply he or she wishes to explore a topic.
