Problem 17-2 Agency Costs
Tom Scott is the owner, president, and primary salesperson for Scott Manufacturing.
Because of this, the company's profits are driven by the amount of work Tom does. If he
works 50 hours each week, the company's EBIT will be $560,000 per year; if he works a
60-hour week, the company's EBIT will be $645,000 per year. The company is currently
worth $3.3 million. The company needs a cash infusion of $1.4 million and can issue
equity or issue debt with an interest rate of 8 percent. Assume there are no corporate
taxes.
a. What are the cash flows to Tom under each scenario? (Do not round intermediate
calculations and enter your answers in dollars, not millions of dollars, rounded to
the nearest whole number, e.g., 1,234,567.)
b. Under which form of financing is Tom likely to work harder?
