This new plant is expected to generate aftertax cash flows of $5.7 million a year in perpetuity. The company raises all equity from outside financing. There are three financing options: 1. A new issue of common stock: The flotation costs of the new common stock would be 7.5 percent of the amount raised. The required return on the company's new equity is 14 percent. 2. A new issue of 20-year bonds: The flotation costs of the new bonds would be 5 percent of the proceeds. If the company issues these new bonds at an annual coupon rate of 8 percent, they will sell at par. 3. Increased use of accounts payable financing: Because this financing is part of the company's ongoing daily business, it has no flotation costs, and the company assigns it a cost that is the same as the overall firm WACC.…arrow_forwardThe finance manager of the GZA Ltd is considering a recapitalization plan that would convert GZA from its current all-equity capital structure to one including substantial financial leverage. -GZA now has 10,000,000 ordinary shares outstanding, which are selling for $15 each, and the company’s EBIT is expected to be $12,000,000 per year for the foreseeable future. -The recapitalization proposal is to issue $60,000,000 worth of long-term, perpetual debt at an annual interest rate of 3.0% and use the proceeds to repurchase 4,000,000 ordinary shares worth $60,000,000.
