The Ewing Distribution Company is planning a $240 million expansion of its chain of discount service stations to several neighboring states. This expansion will be financed, in part, with debt issued with a coupon interest rate of 16 percent. The bonds have a 15-year maturity and a $1,000 face value, and they will be sold to net Ewing $973 after issue costs. Ewing’s marginal tax rate is 40 percent.Preferred stock will cost Ewing 14 percent after taxes. Ewing’s common stock pays a dividend of $6 per share. The current market price per share is $18, and new shares can be sold to net $17 per share. Ewing’s dividends are expected to increase at an annual rate of 7 percent for the foreseeable future. Ewing expects to have $60 million of retained earnings available to finance the expansion.Ewing’s target capital structure is as follows:

Dubai Corporation manufactures construction equipment. It is currently at its target debt– equity ratio of .70. It’s considering building a new $45 million manufacturing facility. This new plant is expected to generate after-tax cash flows of $6.2 million a year in perpetuity. The company raises all equity from outside financing. There are three financing options:
A new issue of common stock: The flotation costs of the new common stock would be 8 percent of the amount raised. The required return on the company’s new equity is 14 percent.
A new issue of 20-year bonds: The flotation costs of the new bonds would be 4 percent of the proceeds. If the company issues these new bonds at an annual coupon rate of 8 percent, they will sell at par.
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. Management has a target ratio…
