Firms use recapitalization for different reasons. Recapitalizationis the process through which firms make desired changes in their capital structure by using debt to repurchase equity. Firms may decide to recapitalize for various reasons, such as to maintain an optimal capital structure, to use as a defense mechanism against a hostile takeover, to minimize taxes, or to use in an exit strategy for venture capitalists.

As an analyst, you are tracking the financial performance of Roxxon Inc. The company has been 100% equity owned but recently made changes to its capital structure. You have collected the following information about the recapitalization:

	Roxxon issued $20,000,000 in new debt to buy back stock.
	The firm had no short-term investments before or after the recapitalization.
	Roxxon had 2,500,000 shares outstanding before the recapitalization.
	Roxxons capital structure now has 20% debt.
	The companys operations are valued at $100 million after recapitalization.
