Question

The Pawlson Company's year-end balance sheet is shown below. Its cost of common equity is 16%, its before-tax cost of debt is 12%, and its marginal tax rate is 40%. Assume that the firm's long-term debt sells at par value. The firm’s total debt, which is the sum of the company’s short-term debt and long-term debt, equals $1,147. The firm has 576 shares of common stock outstanding that sell for $4.00 per share.

Assets			Liabilities And Equity
Cash	$ 120		Accounts payable and accruals	$ 10
Accounts receivable	240		Short-term debt	47
Inventories	360		Long-term debt	1,100
Plant and equipment, net	2,160		Common equity	1,723
Total assets	$2,880		Total liabilities and equity	$2,880
