Consider the following scenario:

You are the Comptroller for a healthcare organization and you are tasked with analyzing potential scenarios regarding their funding.

Problem #1: Changing Debt & Interest Rates

• They have an operating income of 1,500,000 SAR
• They have assets of 7,500,000 SAR
• The Tax rate is 22.5%
• They currently do not have any debt but are considering      the following scenarios:

Scenario A

No debt

Scenario B

Interest rate 9.5%

B1 increase debt to 2,500,000 SAR

B2 increase debt to 5,000,000 SAR

Scenario C

Interest rate 12.5%

B1 increase debt to 2,500,000 SAR

B2 increase debt to 5,000,000 SAR

Based on the above information, address the following questions:

Compare Scenario A (no debt) to Scenario B (increasing debt 9.5% interest rate)

a. What impact does increasing the debt have on the taxable income?

1. What      impact does increasing the debt have on the net income?
2. What      impact does increasing the debt have on the dollar return to investors?

Compare Scenario B (increasing debt 9.5% interest rate) to Scenario C (increasing debt 12.5% interest rate)

a. What impact does the higher interest rate have on the taxable income?

1. What      impact does the higher interest rate have on the net income?
2. What      impact does the higher interest rate have on the dollar return to investors?

Key points

a. How does debt financing influence ROE?

1. Increasing      debt can have what impact on the amount of tax paid?
2. A      higher interest rate can have what effect on the level of taxes paid?
3. A      higher interest rate can have what effect on the dollar return to      investors?
4. How      does a higher interest rate affect ROE?

Problem #2: Uncertainty

Scenario D

Zero Debt

Calculate:

a. The expected net income for each probability

1. The      expected dollar return to investors for each probability
2. The      expected ROE for each probability
3. What      the company can expect its net income to be given these probabilities
4. What      the company can expect dollar return to investors to be given these      probabilities
5. What      the company can expect its ROE to be given these probabilities

Scenario E

However, assume the company now has 5,000,000 SAR Debt

Calculate: 

a. The expected net income for each probability

1. The      expected dollar return to investors for each probability
2. The      expected ROE for each probability
3. What      the company can expect its net income to be given these probabilities
4. What      the company can expect dollar return to investors to be given these      probabilities
5. What      the company can expect its ROE to be given these probabilities

Based upon those calculations answer the following questions: 

a. Does the increased leverage offer the potential of an increased ROE?

1. What      impact does the increased leverage have on the risk to stock holders?
2. Is      it always a good idea to use debt financing?

Make recommendations to the organization as to the course of action that they should follow considering all risk factors. Please make certain that you show your calculations. Submit your findings in a proposal to the hospital.
