Wildcat Pizza, Inc. is trying to decide whether to revise its target capital structure. Currently, it targets a 50-50% mix of debt and equity, but it is considering a target capital structure with 70% debt. Wildcat currently has 6% after-tax cost of debt and a 12% cost of common stock. The company does not have any preferred stock outstanding.
