b. Suria Motors Bhd. is an all-equity firm (i.e. no debt) with 200,000 shares outstanding. The company's EBIT is RM2,000,000, and EBIT is expected to remain constant over time (i.e. g = 0%). The company pays out all of its earnings each year as dividend, so its earnings per share (EPS) equal its dividends per share (DPS). The company's tax rate is 40 percent. The company is considering issuing RM2 million worth of bonds (at par) and using the proceeds for a stock repurchase. If issued, the bonds would have an estimated yield to maturity of 10 percent. The risk-free rate in the economy is 6.6 percent, and the market risk premium is 6 percent. The company's beta is currently 0.9, but its investment bankers estimate that the company's beta would rise to 1.1 if it proceeds with the recapitalization. Assume that the shares are repurchased at a price equal to the stock market price prior to the recapitalization.
