A company currently has $265,000 of equity and is planning a $115,000 expansion. The company currently earns $79,500 in net income, and the expansion will yield $50,000 in additional income before any interest expense. The company is considering three separate options: (1) do not expand, (2) expand and issue $115,000 in debt that requires payments of 14% annual interest, or (3) expand and raise $115,000 from equity financing.
