Assume that we are in the MM world. Health and Wealth Company is financed entirely by common stock that is priced to offer a 12 percent expected return. If the company repurchases 20 percent of the common stock and substitutes an equal value of debt yielding 8 percent, what is the expected return on the common stock after refinancing

Answer:

13%

Explanation:

the new cost of equity = old cost of equity + [(debt / equity) x (old cost of equity - cost of debt)]

the new cost of equity = 12%+ [(20 / 80) x (12% - 8%)] = 12% + 1% = 13%

Since we are in the MM world, taxes do not exist, therefore they are not included in the equation.
