Pharoah Chiropractic Clinic produces $260,000 of cash flow each
year. The firm has no debt outstanding, and its cost of equity
capital is 25 percent. The firm’s management would like to
repurchase $520,000 of its equity by borrowing $520,000 at a rate
of 9 percent per year. If we assume that the debt will be
perpetual, find the cost of equity capital for Pharoah after it
changes its capital structure. Assume that Modigliani and Miller
Proposition 1 assumptions hold. (Round answer to 2
decimal places, e.g. 17.54%.)
