Walker, Inc., has no debt outstanding and a total market value of $180,000. Earnings before interest and taxes, EBIT, are projected to be $23,000 if economic conditions are normal. If there is an expansion in the economy, then EBIT will be $29,000. If there is a recession, then EBIT will be $12,000. Walker is considering a $66,000 debt issue with a 5% interest rate. The proceeds will be used to repurchase shares of stock (this is known as recapitalization). There are currently 3,000 shares outstanding. Walker has a market-to-book ratio of 1.0.
