Transcribed Image Text:Devonian plc has the following long-term capital structure as at 30 November Year 4:
£m
Ordinary shares 25p fully paid
50.0
General reserve
22.5
Retained earnings
25.5
98.0
The business has no long-term loans.
In the year to 30 November Year 4, the operating profit (profit before interest and taxation) was £40 million and it is expected that this will increase by 25 per cent during the
forthcoming year. The business is listed on the London Stock Exchange and the share price as at 30 November Year 4 was £2.10.
The business wishes to raise £72 million in order to re-equip one of its factories and is considering two possible financing options. The first option is to make a one-for-five rights
issue at a discount price of £1.80 per share. The second option is to take out a long-term loan at an interest rate of 10 per cent a year. If the first option is taken, it is expected that the
price/earnings (P/E) ratio will remain the same for the forthcoming year. If the second option is taken, it is estimated that the PIE ratio will fall by 10 per cent by the end of the
forthcoming year.
Assume a tax rate of 30 per cent.
