Financial information for the two firms appears here. All earnings streams are perpetuities. Neither firm pays taxes. Both firms distribute all earnings available to common stockholders immediately.

| Market value of stock | $ 4,500,000 | 3,450 000 |
| Market value of debt | 1,400,000 |
- a. An investor who can borrow at 6 percent per year wishes to purchase 5 percent of Knight’s equity can he increase his dollar return by purchasing 5 percent of Veblen’s equity if he borrows so that the initial net costs of the two strategies are the same?
