Consider the following data for the XYZ Company:
Assets: $150 million
Equity: $90 million
Sales: $75 million
EBIT: $26 million
Profit (bt) $20 million
Profit (at) $15 million
a) How much debt does XYZ have in its capital structure?
b) How much interest is XYZ paying on this debt? What is the interest rate?
c) How much in taxes is XYZ paying? What is the tax rate?
d) What is XYZ company's current ROE?
e) Suppose, XYZ could save $10 million in labor costs per year by purchasing a state-
of-the-art, new machine. However, the new machine will cost $30 million. If XYZ
buys the new machine by borrowing $30 million. What will the new ROE?
[Assume they can borrow the $30 million at the same interest rate as the existing
borrowed money. Please calculate the new ROE under these conditions assuming the
tax rate remains unchanged. Assume all else remains unchanged.]
f) Suppose, after careful consideration of the additional debt suggested in part f), XYZ
decides to purchase the new machine by selling common stock (equity) to raise the $30
million. Please calculate the ROE under these conditions assuming all else remains the
same.
