After seeing an overwhelming response from people for their

homes, Arun, the owner of a leading construction company

'Luxury At Home' decided to launch new projects in eight

more cities across India. This decision would require

additional investment of Rs.150 crores. Shyam, the finance

manager advised Arun that instead of raising the entire

amount through equity, it would be better to raise funds with a

judicious mix of $\displaystyle 40$% equity and $\displaystyle 60$% debt.

Shyam explained that since the company was earning sufficient

profits, they could also take advantage of trading on equity to

maximise earning per share. He also suggested that raising this

debt through a loan from a financial institution would be

better as this would involve a lower cost. He further added that

debt was also beneficial as it would not dilute the

management's holding in the company.

After giving due thought, Arun agreed to Shyam's suggestions.
