Air Tampa has just been incorporated, and its board of directors is grappling with the question of optimal capital structure. The company
plans to offer commuter air services between Tampa and smaller surrounding cities. Air Tampa believes it would have the same business
risk as Jaxair, which is an airline that has been around for a few years and that has had zero growth. Jaxair's market-determined beta is
1.8, and it has a current market value debt ratio (total debt to total assets) of 40% and a federal-plus-state tax rate of 25%. Air Tampa
expects to have investment tax credits when it begins business, which reduces its federal-plus-state tax rate to 20%. Air Tampa's owners
expect that the total book and market value of the firm's stock, if it uses zero debt, would be $16 million. Air Tampa's CFO believes that the
MM and Hamada formulas for the value of a levered firm and the levered firm's cost of capital should be used because zero growth is
expected.
