Problem 1

Delray Technology is considering these two alternatives to finance its construction of a new $2 million plant:

(a) Issuance of 200,000 shares of common stock at the market price of $10 per share.

(b) Issuance of $2 million, 6% bonds at face value.

Interest expense from bonds = $2,000,000 x 6% = $120,000

Complete the table and indicate which alternative is preferable.

Issue Stock Issue Bond
Income before interest and taxes $1,000,000 $1,000,000
Interest expense from bonds 0 $ 120,000
