Solution

Option -1 Company Issues Debt 30% and Equity 70%

Current Value of the company = 20 million shares @$ 35.50 = $710 million

Cost of land = $60 million

Pre tax earning will increase by $ 14 million in perpetuity
Cost of capital = 12.5%
Issue of Bond at 8% coupon rate.
Tax rate = 40%
Company issue 30 % debt and 70 % equity to purchase the land.
Assume bond has a par value of $1000
Amount of debt = (60 million * 30 %) = $18 Million
Amount of Equity = ( 60 million * 70% ) = $42 Million
Therefore number of bond required to be issued = ($18 million / 1000) = 18000 Bonds.
Coupon on the bonds = (18000*8%*1000) = $ 1.44 millions.
Share price = $35.50
Number of shares reqquired to be issued = ($ 42 million /35.50) = 1.183 million (approximately).
Therefore total number of shares = (20 million + 1.183 million )= 21.183 million shares.
