On 1 January 2019, the total assets of the Dexter Company were $270 million. The companys present capital structure, which follows, is considered to be optimal. Assume that there is no short-term debt.

Long-term debt	$ 135,000,000
Ordinary equity	$135,000,000
Total liabilities and Equity	$270,000,000

The company is considering an investment in a new capital investment project. Assuming that all asset expansion (gross expenditures for fixed assets plus related working capital) is included in the capital budget, the dollar amount of the capital budget, ignoring depreciation, is $135 million.

Fund management for the project is given below:

New bonds will have a 10 percent coupon rate and will be sold at par. Ordinary shares, currently selling at $60 a share, can be sold to net the company $54 a share. Shareholders required rate of return is estimated to be 12 percent, consisting of a dividend yield of 4 percent and an expected growth rate of 8 percent. (The next expected dividend is $2.40, so $2.40/$60 = 4%.) Retained earnings are estimated to be $13.5 million. The marginal tax rate is 40 percent.
