Fletcher corporation is debating whether to convert its


Fletcher Corporation is debating whether to convert its all-equity capital structure to one that is 40% debt. Currently, there are 2042 shares outstanding selling at $73 per share. EBIT is expected to remain at $14194 per year forever. The interest rate on new debt is 8%, and there are no taxes. Suppose that Fletcher goes through with the recapitalization, but you prefer the previous all-equity structure. You can unlever you position and re-create the original capital structure by selling a portion of your 100 shares and using that money to purchase the firm’s debt issue. How many of your 100 shares must you sell?
