Management expects sales to be $335,000, operating costs to be $290,000, assets (which is equal to its total invested capital) to be $210,000, and its tax rate to be 25%. Under Plan A it would finance the firm using 25% debt and 75% common equity. The interest rate on the debt would be 8.8%, but under a contract with existing bondholders the TIE ratio would have to be maintained at or above 4.2.
