Last year hamdi corp had sales of 500000 operating costs of


Last year Hamdi Corp. had sales of $500,000, operating costs of $450,000, and year-end assets of $355,000. The debt-to-total-assets ratio was 17%, the interest rate on the debt was 7.5%, and the firm's tax rate was 35%. The new CFO wants to see how the ROE would have been affected if the firm had used a 50% debt ratio. Assume that sales, operating costs, total assets, and the tax rate would not be affected, but the interest rate would rise to 8.0%. By how much would the ROE change (in percentage points) A) 3.08% B) 3.42% C) 3.48% D) 3.17% E) 2.99% in response to the change in the capital structure?
