Cost of capital and debt based problem


Problem: In a world that is not perfect but risk neutral assume that the firm has projects worth $100 in down state and $500 in the up-state. The cost of capital for projects is 25%. However, if you could finance it with 50-50 debt, the cash flow rights alone are enough to make the cost of capital lower than 20%. Managers are intransigent and do not want to switch to this new capital and cannot borrow more to take over the firm. What can you do?
