Gresham corporation has 40 debt and 60 equity market values

The total value of the company is $320 million and its income tax rate is 40%. Gresham has to raise $30 million in new capital, which will make the expected EBIT of the company to be $22 million, with a standard deviation of $11 million. The company has decided to raise the new capital half with debt and half with equity at the existing rates.
