The company makes 12,000 units of this part each year. The company's Accounting Department reports the following costs of producing the part at this level of activity: Per Unit Direct materials $ 6.30 Direct labor $ 5.70 Variable overhead $ 4.80 Fixed Costs: Supervisor's salary $ 7.00 Depreciation of special equipment $ 8.60 Common fixed overhead $ 7.20 An outside supplier has offered to produce this part and sell it to the company for $37.70 each.

Delsing Canning Company is considering an expansion of its facilities. Its current income statement is as follows:
Sales $ 6,200,000
Variable costs (50% of sales) 3,100,000
Fixed costs 1,920,000
Earnings before interest and taxes (EBIT) $ 1,180,000

Shares of common stock 320,000
Earnings per share $ 1.62
The company is currently financed with 50 percent debt and 50 percent equity (common stock, par value of $10). In order to expand the facilities, Mr. Delsing estimates a need for $3.2 million in additional financing. His investment banker has laid out three plans for him to consider:
Sell $3.2 million of debt at 14 percent.
Sell $3.2 million of common stock at $20 per share.
Sell $1.60 million of debt at 13 percent and $1.60 million of common stock at $25 per share.
Variable costs are expected to stay at 50 percent of sales, while fixed expenses will increase to $2,420,000 per year. Delsing is not sure how much this expansion will add to sales, but he estimates that sales will rise by $1.60 million per year for the next five years.
