Question

Ohio Quarry Inc. has $20 million in assets. Its expected operating income (EBIT) is $4 million and its income tax rate is 40 percent. If Ohio Quarry finances 20 percent of its total assets with debt capital, the pretax cost of funds is 10 percent. If the company finances 40 percent of its total assets with debt capital, the pretax cost of funds is 15 percent. Round your answers to the questions below to two decimal places.

  1. Determine the rate of return on equity (ROE) under the three different capital structures (0, 20, and 40% debt ratios).
    0% debt ratio:    %

    20% debt ratio:    %

    40% debt ratio:    %

  2. Which capital structure yields the highest expected ROE?

    40% debt ratio:    %

  4. Which capital structure yields the highest ROE calculated in part c?
