Suppose your company needs $10 million to build a new assembly line. Your target debtequity ratio is .3. The flotation cost for new equity is 6 percent, but the flotation cost for debt is only 3 percent. Your boss has decided to fund the project by borrowing money because the flotation costs are lower and the needed funds are relatively small.
