Answer and Explanation:

The computation is shown below:

a. The current value of the company is

As it is mentioned that the company has no debt that means it is unlevered firm that is equivalent to unlevered value of the company

Unlevered value of the firm = Vu

Vu = EBIT × (1 - tax rate ) ÷ unlevered Cost of Equity

= EBIT × (1 - tax rate ) ÷ R0

= $25,000 × (1 - 0.22 ) ÷ 12%

= $162,500

b-1.

The computation of the value of the firm in the case when the value of the firm is equivalent to 50% of unlevered value

VL = Vu + Borrowing × tax rate

where,

Debt = borrowing = 50% × unlevered value of company

Debt = borrowing = 50% x Vu

So,

VL = Vu + Borrowing x tax rate

VL = $162,500 + ($162,500 × 50%) × 22%

= $162,500 + $17,875

= $180,375

b-2.

The computation of the value of the firm in the case when the value of the firm is equivalent to 100% of unlevered value

Levered value of the firm VL

VL = Vu + Borrowing × tax rate

Debt = borrowing = 100% × unlevered value of company

Debt = borrowing = 100% × Vu

So,

VL = Vu + Borrowing x tax rate

= $162,500 + ($162,500 × 100%) × 22%

= $162,500 + 35,750

= $198,250

C.1.

The computation of the value of the firm in the case when the value of the firm is equivalent to 50% of the levered value

VL = Vu + Borrowing × tax rate

= Vu + (VL × 50%) × tax rate

VL = Vu + (VL × 50%) × 22%

VL = Vu + 0.11 VL

VL - 0.11 VL = 162,500

0.89 VL = 162,500

VL= 182,584.27

C.2.

The computation of the value of the firm in the case when the value of the firm is equivalent to 100% of the levered value

Levered value of the firm VL

VL = Vu + Borrowing x tax rate

VL = Vu + (VL × 100%) × tax rate

= Vu + (VL × 100%) × 22%

= Vu + 0.22 VL

VL - 0.22 VL = 162,500

0.78 VL = 162,500

VL= $208,333.33
