As a consultant to First Responder Inc., you have obtained the following data (dollars in millions). The company plans to pay out all of its earnings as dividends, hence g = 0. Also, no net new investment in operating capital is needed because growth is zero. The CFO believes that a move from zero debt to 80.0% debt would cause the cost of equity to increase from 10.0% to 14.0%, and the interest rate on the new debt would be 9.0%. What would the firm's total market value be if it makes this change? Hints: Find the FCF, which is equal to NOPAT = EBIT(1 - T) because no new operating capital is needed, and then divide by (WACC - g). Do not round your intermediate calculations. Oper. income (EBIT) $800 Tax rate 25.0% New cost of equity (rs) 14.00% New wd 80.0% Interest rate (rd) 9.00% $5,854 $4,917 $6,205 $7,317 $5,561

PP's current cost of equity is 10%, and its tax rate is 40%. The firm has 10,000 shares of common stock outstanding selling at a price per share of $48.00.
