The company is going to buy 35% of its shares back with the money it is borrowing. Determine the amount of money the company needs to borrow to achieve its desired capital structure.

Question 8: Suppose OQ Inc. decides to issue $3 million worth of bonds and use this money to buy back some of its shares. The interest rate on these bonds will be 10% per year. Calculate the value of the OQ Inc. and value of its equity with this new capital structure when there are corporate taxes.
