Question

Aurillo Equipment Company (AEC) projected that its ROE for next year would be just 6 percent.
However, the financial staff has determined that the firm can increase its ROE by refinancing some
high interest bonds currently outstanding. The firm’s total debt will remain at $200,000 and the debt
ratio will hold constant at 80 percent, but the interest rate on the refinanced debt will be 10 percent.
The rate on the old debt is 14 percent. Refinancing will not affect sales, which are projected to be
$300,000. EBIT will be 11 percent of sales and the firm’s tax rate is 40 percent. If AEC refinances its
high interest bonds, what will be its projected new ROE?
