Mr. Gold is in the widget business. He currently sells 1.5 million widgets a year at $6 each. His variable cost to produce the widgets is
$4 per unit, and he has $1,550,000 in fixed costs. His sales-to-assets ratio is six times, and 30 percent of his assets are financed with
10 percent debt, with the balance financed by common stock at $10 par value per share. The tax rate is 35 percent.

His brother-in-law, Mr. Silverman, says Mr. Gold is doing it all wrong. By reducing his price to $5.00 a widget, he could increase his
volume of units sold by 60 percent. Fixed costs would remain constant, and variable costs would remain $4 per unit. His sales-to-
assets ratio would be 7.5 times. Furthermore, he could increase his debt-to-assets ratio to 50 percent, with the balance in common
stock. It is assumed that the interest rate would go up by 1 percent and the price of stock would remain constant.
