Primary Health Care is one of Australia’s leading listed healthcare companies. Primary is a service company to medical and allied health professionals. A broad range of medical and related services are offered in Primary’s network of medical centres and pathology centres across Australia. Primary is also a leading provider of healthcare technology solutions to medical practitioners, medical practices and hospitals. Primary’s market capitalisation currently runs at about $2,290.5 million, with a debt-to-equity ratio of approximately 1:3. The company’s CFO is currently recommending that the Board issue new debt worth 10% of the firm’s existing debt in order to repurchase shares for the same amount. He is advocating for a recapitalisation of the firm’s balance sheet in order to realise an increase in firm value by having a higher debt level. The debt issue will take the form of a 10- year corporate bond with a yearly coupon equal to the firm’s current cost of debt of 6.65%. Primary’s CFO has approached Frontier Economics for assistance in formulating a solid argument for the proposed increase in financial leverage.

The consulting team will therefore consider three different tax settings:
• A world with no taxes
• A world with corporate taxes only
• A world with taxes paid on all levels Primary’s marginal corporate tax rate is 30%.
Assume that the marginal personal tax rate on income from debt is 35% and that the marginal personal tax rate on income from equity is 28%.
