The firm is currently financed with 10% debt and 90% equity. However, the CFO proposed that the firm issues new long-term debt and repurchase some of the firm's common stock. The firm's advisors believe the long-term debt would require a before-tax yield of 10%, while the firm's basic earning power (BEP) is 14%. The firm's operating income and total assets will not be affected. The CFO has told the rest of the management team that he believes this move will increase the firm's stock price. If the firm proceeds with the recapitalization, which of the following items is also likely to increase (it can be more than one): Net Income ROA Cost of Equity Cost of Debt Basic earning power
