Nahanni Treasures Corporation is planning a new common stock issue of five million shares to fund a new project. The increase in shares will bring the number of shares outstanding to 25 million. Nahanni's long-term growth rate is 6 percent, and its current required rate of return is 12.6 percent. The firm just paid a $1.00 dividend and the stock sells for $16.06 in the market. On the announcement of the new equity issue, the firm's stock price dropped. Nahanni estimates that the company's growth rate will increase to 6.5 percent with the new project, but since the project is riskier than average, the firm's required return on stock will increase to 13.5 percent.
