Blaine Kitchenware, Inc.: Capital Structure: Brief Case No. 4040.
By: Timothy A. Luehrman and Joel L. Heilprin
Abstract
A diversified mid-sized manufacturer of kitchen tools contemplates a stock repurchase in response to an unsolicited takeover. The company must analyze its debt capacity and optimal capital structure,while considering associated changes in firm value and stock price. The case is designed to teach Miller-Modigliani conditions, M-M Proposition 1, and the static-tradeoff model of optimal capital structure involving interest tax shields and costs of financial distress.
