Fitness Training (FST) is a HK-based plc which produces gym equipment. Their business has grown quite quickly over the past few years and, as with most young companies in heavily capitalised industries, their only concern was if they had sufficient cash to continue to develop their operations. With stability and liquidity now being less of a concern the CEO of FST, is currently reviewing the company’s capital structure to gauge if they are structured in an appropriate way. By her own admission, she does not have much knowledge in this area and has asked for your help as an expert in the field of corporate financial management.
She has given you the following information:
Number of Ordinary shares in issue: 20,000,000
Market Price per Ordinary share 240 cents
Value of Current long-term debt HK$30,000,000
Gross Interest rate on long-term debt 5% p.a.
Estimation of cost of equity 11% p.a.
Tax rate 20%
Required:
Calculate FST’s current after tax weighted average cost of capital.
The CEO is keen to take on more debt as he has heard that “debt is always cheaper than equity.”
Using the information above evaluate this comment from both a practical and theoretical basis.

Hillside Furniture Company makes outdoor furniture from recycled products, including plastics and wood by-products. Its three furniture products are gliders, chairs with footstools, and tables. The products appeal primarily to cost-conscious consumers and those who value the recycling of materials. The company wholesales its products to retailers and various mass merchandisers. Because of the seasonal nature of the products, most orders are manufactured during the winter months for delivery in the early spring. Michael Cain, founder and owner, is dismayed that sales for two of the products are tracking below budget. The following chart shows pertinent year-to-date data regarding the company’s products. Certain that the shortfall was caused by a lack of effort by the sales force, Michael has suggested to Lisa Boyle, the sales manager, that the company announce two contests to correct this situation before it deteriorates. The first contest is a trip to Hawaii awarded to the top salesperson if incremental glider sales are attained to close the budget shortfall. The second contest is a golf weekend, complete with a new set of golf clubs, awarded to the top salesperson if incremental sales of chairs with footstools are attained to close the budget shortfall. The Hawaiian vacation would cost $16,500 and the golf trip would cost $12,500. Glider Chair with Footstool Table Actual Budget Actual Budget Actual Budget Number of units 2,600 4,000 6,900 8,000 3,500 3,300 Average sales price $80.00 $85.00 $61.00 $65.00 $24.00 $25.00 Variable costs Direct labor: Hours 2.50 2.25 3.25 3.00 0.60 0.50 Cost/hour $11.00 $10.00 $9.50 $9.25 $9.00 $9.00 Direct material $16.00 $15.00 $11.00 $10.00 $6.00 $5.00 Sales commission $15.00 $15.00 $10.00 $10.00 $5.00 $5.50 Promotional activity costs: Hawaiian vacation = $16,500 Golfing trip = $12,500 Explain whether either contest is desirable or not. Supplement your analysis by determining the total contribution margin for Gliders and for Table-and-Chair sets under each of the following assumptions: actual sales volume at actual selling price, actual resource usage, and actual costs,
