You are considering a stock investment in one of two firms
(AllDebt, Inc. and AllEquity, Inc.), both of which operate in the
same industry and have identical operating income of $400,000.
AllDebt, Inc. finances its $800,000 in assets with $600,000 in debt
(on which it pays 5 percent interest annually) and $200,000 in
equity. AllEquity, Inc. finances its $800,000 in assets with no
debt and $800,000 in equity. Both firms pay a tax rate of 30
percent on their taxable income. What are the asset funders' (the
debt holders and stockholders) resulting return on assets for the
two firms?
