Recapitalization A proposed recapitalization plan for Focus Corporation would change its current all-equity capital structure to leveraged capital structure. The proposal is for Focus to sell $52,000,000 worth of long-term debt at an interest rate of 7.25% and then repurchase as many shares as possible at a price of $29 per share. Focus currently has 5,200,000 shares outstanding and expects EBIT to be $27,000,000 per year in perpetuity. Ignoring taxes, calculate the following: a. The number of shares outstanding, the per-share price, and the debt-to-equity ratio for Focus if it adopts the proposed recapitalization. b. The earnings per share (EPS) and the return on equity (ROE) for Focus under the current and proposed capital structures. c. The EBIT where EPS is the same for both capital structures.

Lancaster Engineering Inc (LEI) has the following capital structure, which it considers to be optimal. Long Term Debt 30% Preferred Stock 10% Common Stock 60% Total 100% LEI can obtain capital in the following ways: New Preferred Stock with a dividend of $12 can be sold at $97 to the public; however LEI will incur $2 of flotation costs for each share it sells. Debt can be sold at a pre-tax cost of 12%. LEIâs tax rate is 40%. (Note that 12% is the pre-tax cost; all costs must be expressed on an after-tax basis so as to be comparable.) LEI can sell its common stock for $55. However they expect underwriting fees to be $3 per share and an additional $2 per share in other flotation costs. They expect to pay a dividend on the common stock next year of $3.50 and it is expected that dividends will continue to grow at the historical rate of 8%. Required: Determine the cost of each capital component. Determine the weighted average cost of capital (WACC) for LEI.
