On January 1, the total market value of the Tysseland Company was $60 million. During the year, the company plans to raise and invest $30 million in new projects. The firm’s present market value capital structure, shown below, is considered to be optimal. Assume that there is no short-term debt.

Debt                  $30,000,000

Common equity 30,000,000
