Question#01 The Rogers Company is currently in this situation: Sales = 14 million; Variable Cost = 7 million Fixed Cost = 3 million tax rate, T = 35%; value of debt, D = $2 million; k d = 10%; ks = 15%; and Shares of stock outstanding, n = 600,000. The firm’s market is stable, and it expects no growth, so all earnings are paid out as dividends. The debt consists of perpetual bonds. What is the total market value of the firm’s stock, S, its price per share, P0, and the firm’s total market value, V? What is the firm’s weighted average cost of capital?

Should the firm change its capital structure? Calculate the Break-even point of the company.
