Credо cоmpаny, with 1 milliоn shаres outstаnding, is for the first time considering a payout in regular cash dividends of $0.2 per share starting in 1 year. Credo currently has $600,000 in cash. The firm also pays annual interest of $50,000 on its debt and aims to maintain enough cash to cover it at any time. A stock analyst forecasts the following years’ uncertain future cash flows of Credo company as follows. Scenario Probability FCF in 1 year FCF in 2 years FCF in 3 years Recession 10% -$500,000 -$450,000 -$550,000 Stable 60% $20,000 $25,000 $20,000 Boom 30% $200,000 $300,000 $250,000   Which of the following statements are true? Ignore taxes.   Credo will be able to cover both its dividend and debt payments through its cash holdings and internally generated expected cash inflows in the next three years. The market will react negatively to the dividend announcement because Credo will probably not be able to commit to the dividend over time without costly external financing. It would be prudent for Credo to pay out a smaller dividend or conduct a flexible buyback program instead. Although the impact of a recession on free cash flow is large, the low probability of a recession implies that concerns of financial distress costs should be minimal in impacting the payout decision.

Bits & Peоple Inc., а persоnаl cоmputer compаny with a beta of 1.95, is looking to enter into the gaming industry, a new business for the firm. Nexon Corp and NCSoft Inc. are pure-play firms that operate solely in the gaming industry, who have betas of 0.7 and 0.6, respectively. Nexon and NCSoft both have a leverage ratio (debt/assets) of 50% and they are financing their debt with bonds, which are trading at YTMs of 8% and 7%, respectively. Bits & People plans to follow industry conventions and finance its gaming division with 50% leverage. Nexon and NCSoft are firms of roughly equal size, and investors in the gaming industry require the average of their costs of capital as return on their investments. Bits & People is planning to launch its gaming division in stages. For the first stage, their investment will be $12 million today, and they expect the division to generate $1 million in free cash flow, on average amid some uncertainty, for the next 10 years. At the end of the 10th year, they will know whether the gaming business is a success for sure, and will decide whether to invest $20 million in the second stage. Before then, success is uncertain with a probability is 20%. If the first stage is a success, the second stage will generate $5 million, and if a failure, only $0.1 million thereafter forever (from year 11 and beyond). The risk free rate is 5% and the market risk premium is 7%. All firms face a tax rate of 25%. Should Bits & People invest in the first stage of the new gaming division? Why or why not?
