2. (15) Lippo In. reports the following capital structure on its balance sheet:
Debt $ 20 m, Preferred stock $ 10 m, Common stock $ 20 m
The debt has 10 years to maturity, carries a coupon rate of 6%, and sells at 86.58% of face

$11. They sell at $105 each. There are 1 million shares with a market price of $30 each.
The stock has a beta of 1.2. The risk-free rate is 5%. Assume that the risk premium on
the market portfolio is 6%. The tax rate is 40%. (Assume that flotation costs are
negligible.)

b. What is the weighted average cost of capital for the firm, if the current capital
structure based on market values is the optimal capital structure?
3. (5) Roland & Company has a new management team that has developed an operating

$25,000 on sales of $270,000, and it expects to have a total assets turnover ratio of 3.0.
The average tax rate will be 40 percent. What does Roland expect return on equity to be
following the changes?
