Capital Structure Analysis
The Rivoli Company has no debt outstanding, and its financial position is given by the following data:
Assets (Market value = book value) $3,000,000
EBIT $500,000
Cost of equity, rs 10%
Stock price, Po $15
Shares outstanding, no 200,000
Tax rate, T (federal-plus-state) 40%
The firm is considering selling bonds and simultaneously repurchasing some of its stock. If it moves to a capital structure with 30% debt based on market values, its cost of equity, rs, will increase to 12% to reflect the increased risk. Bonds can be sold at a cost, rd, of 8%.
