Aaron Athletics is trying to determine its optimal

Aaron Athletics is trying to determine its optimal capital structure. The company’s capital structure consists of debt and common stock. In order to estimate the cost of debt, the company has produced the following table:

 

Percent financed with debt (Wd)

Percent financed with equity (Ws)

Debt to Equity (D/S)

Bond Rating

Before-tax cost of debt (BT Rd)

10%

90%

.11

AA

4.0%

20%

80%

.25

A

5.0%

40%

60%

.67

BB

6.0%

50%

50%

1.0

B

7.0%

 

The company’s tax rate, T, is 40 percent. The company uses the CAPM to estimate its cost of common equity, Rs. The risk-free rate is 1 percent and the market risk premium is 6 percent. Aaron estimates that if it had no debt its beta would be 1.0. (i.e., its “unlevered beta,” bU, equals 1.0.)

 

On the basis of this information, what is the company’s optimal capital structure, and what is the firm’s cost of capital at this optimal capital structure?
