The relevant tax rate is 35 percent. The company president has approached you about its capital structure. He wants to know why the company doesn’t use more preferred stock financing because it costs less than debt. What would you tell the president?arrow_forwardYou are an accountant for Davanzo Company. The president of the company calls you into her office and says, “I want to ask you about two issues. First, we need to sell one of our investments to raise $1 million because I think I have found a better investment. We could sell the bonds of Company X, which are currently worth $1 million even though they have an amortized cost basis of $950,000. But I don’t want to sell them because I like the steady stream of cash flow we get related to interest. Or we could sell the bonds in that dog, Company Z. These bonds are also worth $1 million, but they cost us $1.2 million. I hate to admit we made such a big mistake, and if they can somehow avoid bankruptcy, we may actually recover our investment. And then there’s that loss. I don’t want to report that. Second, I am going to use the $1 million to buy about 20% of the shares of Company M, but I seem to remember that there is some accounting rule that might affect how much we buy.

He has found a very safe municipal bond fund paying 3% interest, a riskier corporate bond fund paying 7% interest, and a stock paying 5%. He wants to make sure that the stock recieves 500 more than twice the amount from the safe municipal bond. He wants to invest as little as possible in the riskier account, but needs to earn $37,440 per year to live on.
