Annamz Corp. is looking at two possible capital structures. Currently, the firm is an all-equity firm with $1.2 million dollars in assets and 200,000 shares outstanding. The market value of each stock is $6.00. The CEO of Annamz is thinking of leveraging the firm by selling $600,000 of debt financing. The cost of debt is 8% annually, and the current corporate tax rate for Annamz is 30%. What is the break-even EBIT for Annamz with these two possible capital structures?
The White Corporation makes small Bozo replicas for sale in the growing Austin market. The
firm's capital structure consists of 60 percent common equity, 10 percent preferred stock, and
30 percent long-term debt This capital structure is believed to be optimal. White is planning
to raise funds over the coming year to finance expansion plans. The firm expects to have $40
million of retained earnings available. The cost of retained earnings is 18 percent. Additional
common equity can be obtained by selling new common stock at a cost of 19.6 percent. The
firm can sell a maximum amount of $20 million of preferred stock at a cost of 15 percent.
First-mortgage bonds totaling $25 million can be sold at a pretax cost of 14 percent. Beyond

- Chelsea Gonzales Industries is trying to estimate the firm's optimal capital structure. The company has $100 million in assets, which is financed with $40 million of debt and $60 million in equity. The risk-free rate, KRF, is 3 percent, the market risk premium, km – krf, is 8 percent, and the firm's tax rate is 40 percent. Currently, the firm's cost of equity (ks) is 16.72 percent (determined on the basis of the CAPM).
