Benjamin O'Henry has owned and operated O'Henry's Data
Services since its beginning ten years ago. From all
appearances, the business has prospered. In the past few
years, you have become friends with O'Henry and his wife.
Recently, O'Henry mentioned that he has lost his zest for
the business and would consider selling it for the right
price. You are interested in buying this business, and you
obtain its most recent monthly unadjusted trial balance
which follows:


O'Henry's Data Services Unadjusted Trial Balance November
30, 20XX
Cash……………………………… $9,700
Accounts receivable……………………… 7,900
Prepaid expenses………… 2,600
Furniture, fixtures, & equipment 151,300
Accumulated depreciation $15,600
Accounts payable………… 3,800
Salary payable………………
Unearned service revenue 6,700
Benjamin O'Henry, capital 137,400
Benjamin O'Henry, withdrawals 2,000
Service revenue………… 14,300
Rent expense……………
Salary expense………… 3,400
Utilities expense……… 900
Depreciation expense
Supplies expense……
Total…………………………………………. $177,800 $177,800

Revenues and expenses vary little from month to month, and
November is a typical month. Your investigation reveals
that the unadjusted trial balance does not include the
effects of monthly revenues of $2,100 and monthly expenses
totaling $2,750. If you were to buy O'Henry's Data
Services, you would hire a manager who would require a
monthly salary of $3,000.

The most you would pay for the business is 20 times the
monthly net income you could expect to earn from it.
Compute this possible price. The least O'Henry will take
for the business is his ending capital. Compute this
amount. Under these conditions, how much should you offer
O'Henry? Give your reason. I have the mathimatical part
ok , please give reasons on how much and why I they would
offer him the amount.

Occasionally it is said that issuing convertible bonds is better than issuing stock when the firms shares are undervalued. Suppose that the financial manager of Decent Furniture Company does in fact have inside information indicating that the decent stock price is too low. Decent furniture earnings will in fact be higher than investor’s expectations. Suppose further that the inside information cannot be released without giving away a valuable competitive secret. Clearly, selling shares at the present low price would harm Decent’s existing shareholders. Will they also lose if convertible bonds are issued? If they do lose in this case, is the loss more or less than it would be if common stock is issued? Now suppose that investors forecast earnings accurately, but still under value the stock because they overestimate Decent’s actual business risk. Does this change your answer to the questions posed in the preceding paragraph? Explain.
