A privately held corporation, is making plans for future investments that can increase growth. The company’s manager has recommended that the company “go public” by issuing common stock to raise the funds needed to support the growth. The current owners, who founded the firm, are worried that control of the firm will be diluted by this strategy. If the company undertakes an IPO, it is estimated that each share of stock will sell for $6.25, the investment banking fee will be 22 percent of the total value of the issue.

Mike: John, have you given any thought to how we're going to manage the acquisition of Swiffer Car Wash?

Mike: Yes. I've heard the rumor. The problem is that we can't wait around to see what's going to happen. We'll have to move on this next week if we want any chance to complete the acquisition of Swiffer Car Wash.
John: Well, the bond market is strong right now. Maybe we should issue debt this time around.
Mike: That's what I would have guessed as well. Swiffer Car Wash's financial statements look pretty…
