- Consider a firm with an EBITDA of $1,100,000 and an EBIT of $1,000,000. The firm finances its assets with $4,530,000 debt (costing 8.2 percent, all of which is tax deductible) and 202,000 shares of stock selling at $11 per share. To reduce risk associated with this financial leverage, the firm is considering reducing its debt by $2,530,000 by selling additional shares of stock. The firm’s tax rate is 21 percent. The change in capital structure will have no effect on the operations of the firm.

Currently, the firm has a 40 percent debt ratio and the firm expects to generate a dividend next year of $4.89 per share and dividends are grow at a constant rate of 5 percent for the foreseeable future. Stockholders currently require a 10.89 percent return on their investment. Tangshan Mining is considering changing its capital structure if it would benefit shareholders. The firm estimates that if it increases the debt ratio to 50 percent, it will increase its expected dividend to $5.24 per share. Because of the additional leverage, dividend growth is expected to increase to 6 percent and this growth will be sustained indefinitely. However, because of the added risk, the required return demanded by stockholders will increase to 11.34 percent.
