(b) Iron Corporation currently has no debt on its balance sheet. Iron's marginal tax rate is 30% and the cost of debt is 7%. () If Iron were to issue sufficient debt to reduce its taxes by $100 million per year permanently, how much debt would Iron need to issue? What would be the value of the tax shield? (i) Iron plans to borrow $5 billion on a permanent basis through a leveraged recapitalization in which they would use the borrowed funds to repurchase outstanding shares. Investors pay a tax rate of 35% on their interest income and 15% on their income from capital gains and dividends. Calculate the present value of the interest tax shield from this recapitalization from an investor's perspective.
