been operating with no debt in its capital structure. It has a targeted annual net operating

income of $100,000$ and a capital equalization rate of$,k_e$ of $10\%.$ Due to the fact that this

particular company is $100\%$ equity financed, its weighted capital is equal to its cost of

equity $(10\%).$

Further Assume that Z$-$CUT Ltd in its recent Board Meeting and based on the professional

advice of the Chief Financial Officer $($CFO$)$ decided to change its capital structure by taking

drastic decision which involved the replacement of its equity with debt from a commercial

bank of K$400,000$ and that the cost of this debt is $5\%$ p$.$a$.$

Z$-$CUT Ltd is further contemplating registering its company as a Public Company $($Plc$)$ in

the near future. This is because the Board of Directors would like to ensure that the

company will be able to raise more funds by issuance of its shares through the Stock

Exchange.
