1. McMagon Company must raise $100 million on January 1, 2012 to finance its expansion into a new market. The CFO has come up with three alternatives for raising the money:
1) Issue $100 million of 8% nonconvertible debt due in 20 years.
2) Issue $100 million of 6% nonconvertible preferred stock (face value $25 per share, 4 million shares).
3) Issue $100 million of common stock (1 million shares).

Total debt $425
Total shareholders’ equity 250
Net income for the year 10
The Company has no preferred stock outstanding but currently has 10 million shares of common stock outstanding. EPS has been declining for the past several years. Earnings in 2011 were $1 per share, which was down from $1.10 during 2010, and management wants to avoid another decline during 2012.
