The Norman Automatic mailer Machine Company is planning to expand production. The expansion will cost $2000,000, which can either be financed by bonds at an interest rate of 12 percent or by selling 40,000 shares of common stock at $50 per share. The current income statement before expansion is as follows:
Norman Automatic Mailer

Sales $3000,000
Variable Costs (40%) 1,200,000
Contribution margin 1,800,000
Fixed Costs 800,000

interest expense 400,000
Earnings beofre tax 600,000
taxes @ 34% 204,000
earnings after tax $396,000
Shares 100,000
earnings per share $3.96
After the expansion sales are expected to increase by 1,500,000. Variable Costs will remain at 40 percent of sales, and fixed costs will increase to $550,000. The tax rate is 34 percent.
