1. I want to know how to solve these 2 questions and what the answers are 3. Field & Co. expects its EBIT to be $125,000 every year forever. The firm can borrow at 7%. The company currently has no debt, and its cost of equity is 12%. If the tax rate is 24%, what is the value of the firm? What will the value be if the company borrows $205,000 and uses the proceeds to purchase shares? 2. Firms HD and LD each have $30m in invested capital, $8m of EBIT, and a tax rate of 25%. Firm HD has a D/E ratio of 50% with an interest rate of 8% on their debt. Firm LD has a debt-to-capital ratio of 30%, however, pays 9% interest on its debt. Calculate the following: a. Return on invested capital for firm LDb. Return on equity for each firmc. If HD’s CFO is thinking of lowering the D/E from 50% to 40%, which will lower their interest rate further from 8% to 7%, calculate the new ROE for firm HD.
