Currently, Bridge-It is able to borrow money at a rate of 4.20%. It can also opt to issue additional common shares instead (the company has paid an annual dividend of $3 per share for the last decade). Some shareholders have expressed concern over the company borrowing more money, as debt is already 90% of equity. However, other shareholders are not keen about the company issuing new common shares. In addition to a financial analysis of buying, leasing, or forgoing the new machine, Chris wants a detailed discussion of pros and cons of financing with debt or equity (particularly with Bridge-It)
