H2X Incorporated has accounts payable of $400,000 (a typical amount for the company, non-interest bearing), a bank loan of $700,000 at 9% interest rate, a bank loan of $1,000,000 at 6.5% interest rate, and equity of $2,800,000. Its income tax rate is 32%. Management estimates the company's cost of equity is 14%. Company managers are considering selling more stock to raise $500,000 of new equity to purchase $500,000 of new manufacturing equipment. What would the new weighted average cost of capital be if this plan were implemented? Company managers are projecting that the new manufacturing equipment from above question will produce a return on assets of 11%. Should the company proceed with this plan?
