The first (Plan A) is an all common-equity capital structure. $2.4 million dollars would be raised by selling common stock at $10 per common share.
Plan B would involve the use of financial leverage. $1.1 million dollars would be raised by selling bonds with an effective interest rate at 10.6% (per annum), and the remaining $1.3 million would be raised by selling common stock at the $10 price per share. The use of financial leverage is considered to be a permanent part of the firm's capitalization, so no fixed maturity date is needed for the analysis. A 35% tax rate is deemed appropriate for the analysis.
