Consider the following scenario:
XYZ Health Organization has a division that currently uses zero
debt financing. Assume that the operating income (EBIT) is
1,000,000 SAR. Assume that the firm has 5,000,000 SAR in Assets
with an equal amount in equity (because it currently has no debt).
The firm wants to expand its product offerings and is considering
replacing half of its equity financing with debt financing at an
interest rate of 8%. The corporate tax rate is 20%. Assume that you
are the Chief Financial Officer of the organization.
- Determine how the new capital structure would impact the firm’s
net income, total dollar return to investors, and ROE?
- Conduct the analysis again but assume that the cost of debt has
risen to 15%?
- Then using the original 8% interest rate, assume that annual
EBIT has dropped to 500,000 SAR or could go as high as 1.5 million
SAR (both with a probability of 20%). While there is a 60% chance
that EBIT will remain 1,000,000 SAR. Redo the analysis for each
level of EBIT and determine the expected values for the division’s
net income, total dollar return to investors, and ROE.
After you have conducted all the calculations, make
recommendations to the company as to which avenue the company
should take. Consider what you have learned about the healthcare
needs under SV2030 as well as your knowledge of the healthcare
industry.
Discuss the considerations for risk and return for western
investors who will be entering into Islamic financing arrangements.
How will those investors consider the risk of this business
endeavor?
- Issue sukuk for the debt financing (make calculation in
accordance with the principles of debt financing so that you may
conduct the financial analysis).
- Using equity for financing and some borrowing (your project
would be financed in accordance with Murabaha principles but for
the convenience of calculations, you will use the processes of a
conventional loan and/or issuing equity in the organization).
Make recommendations to the organization as to the course of
action that they should follow considering all risk factors. Please
make certain that you show your calculations. Submit your findings
in a proposal to the hospital.

calculations for this assignment must be submitted as an Excel
file, identified as Appendix A, and included as part of the Word
document submission.
