How much would the firm save by raising all of the debt


Europa Corporation is financing an ongoing construction project. The firm will need $5,000,000 of new capital during each of the next three years. The firm has a choice of issuing new debt or equity each year as the funds are needed, or issue only debt now and equity later. Its target capital structure is 40 percent debt and 60 percent equity, and it wants to be at that structure in three years, when the project has been completed. Debt flotation costs for a single debt issue would be 1.6 percent of the gross debt proceeds. Yearly flotation costs for three separate issues of debt would be 3.0 percent of the gross amount. Ignoring time value effects, how much would the firm save by raising all of the debt now, in a single issue, rather than in three separate issues?
