Determining interest rate on debt


Hubbard Industries is an all-equity firm whose shares have an expected return of 11%. Hubbard does a leveraged recapitalization, issuing debt and repurchasing stock, until its debt-equity ratio is 0.67. Due to the increased risk, shareholders now expect a return of 17%. Assuming there are no taxes and Hubbard's debt is risk free, what is the interest rate on the debt?
