Unsure of how to calculate the new stock price for the following question: Assume that a company has $10 million in assets (where the market value of the assets is equal to the book value of the assets) and no debt. The company's marginal tax rate is 35% and has 500,000 shares outstanding. The company's earnings before interest and taxes (EBIT) is $3.88 million. The firm's stock price is $27 per share and the cost of equity is 11%.
The company is thinking of issuing bonds and simultaneously repurchasing a portion of its stock. If the company changes its capital structure from no debt to 25% debt based on market values, the firm's cost of equity will increase to 13% because of the increased risk. The bonds can be sold at a cost of 9%. The firm's earnings are not expected to grow over time. All of its earnings will be paid out as dividends.
