On January 1, the total market value of the Tysseland Company was $60 million. During the year, the company plans to raise and invest $15 million in new projects. The firm's present market value capital structure, here below, is considered to be optimal. There is no short-term debt.

New bonds will have an 8% coupon rate, and they will be sold at par. Common stock is currently selling at $30 a share. The stockholders' required rate of return is estimated to be 12%, consisting of a dividend yield of 4% and an expected constant growth rate of 8%. (The next expected dividend is $1.20, so the dividend yield is $1.20/$30 = 4%.) The marginal tax rate is 25%.
