Case Analysis for Harmonic Hearing Co.

Expenses

Selling and General Expenses are fixed percent of Revenues earned. Although, as a result of high level of sales, selling and general expenditures are greater in equity financing, however, the fixed rent and lease payments in all debt financing alternative would result in higher overall expenses. 

Net Income

It can be easily estimated that fixed rent and lease payment, in debt financing, would cause vast difference in the net income of both alternatives. Projected Net Income in Debt financing is far less than all-equity financing.

Forecasted Free Cash Flow

As a result of higher net income in all-equity financing scenario, Forecasted free cash flows are greater in all-equity than all-debt financing alternative.
