A. Nichols Corporation's value of operations is equal to $250 million after a recapitalization (the firm had no debt before the recap). It raised $75 million in new debt and used this to buy back stock. Nichols had no short-term investments before or after the recap. After the recap, wd = 30%. What is S (the value of equity after the recap)? Enter your answer in millions. For example, an answer of $1 million should be entered as 1, not 1,000,000. Round your answer to the nearest whole number.

b. Lee Manufacturing's value of operations is equal to $900 million after a recapitalization. (The firm had no debt before the recap.) Lee raised $300 million in new debt and used this to buy back stock. Lee had no short-term investments before or after the recap. After the recap, wd = 1/3. The firm had 30 million shares before the recap. What is P (the stock price after the recap)? Do not round intermediate calculations. Round your answer to the nearest cent.
c. Dye Trucking raised $85 million in new debt and used this to buy back stock. After the recap, Dye's stock price is $8.50. If Dye had 50 million shares of stock before the recap, how many shares does it have after the recap? Enter your answer in millions. For example, an answer of $1 million should be entered as 1, not 1,000,000. Round your answer to the nearest whole number.

In the first scenario, the value of equity after the recap for Nichols Corporation is $175 million. In the second scenario, the stock price after the recap for Lee Manufacturing is $20 per share. In the third scenario, Dye Trucking has 10 million shares after the recap.

In the first scenario, Nichols Corporation's value of operations after a recapitalization is $250 million. They raised $75 million in new debt and used it to buy back stock. The weight of debt (wd) after the recapitalization is 30%. To find the value of equity (S) after the recap, we can use the formula:

S = Value of operations - Value of debt = $250 million - $75 million = $175 million

So, the value of equity after the recap for Nichols Corporation is $175 million.

In the second scenario with Lee Manufacturing, their value of operations after recapitalization is $900 million. They raised $300 million in new debt and used it to buy back stock. The weight of debt after the recap is 1/3. To find the stock price (P) after the recap, we can use the formula:

P = Value of equity / Number of shares = ($900 million - $300 million) / 30 million shares = $20 per share

So, the stock price after the recap for Lee Manufacturing is $20 per share.

In the third scenario with Dye Trucking, they raised $85 million in new debt and used it to buy back stock. The stock price after the recap is $8.50. To find the number of shares after the recap, we can use the formula:

Number of shares = Value of equity / Stock price = $85 million / $8.50 = 10 million shares

So, Dye Trucking has 10 million shares after the recap.
