Using the Modigliani-Miller (MM) theory in a perfect market, you want to evaluate a project and how to finance it. The project has free cash flows in one year (year 1) of $90 in a weak economy or $120 in a strong economy. There is 25% chance that the economy is strong. The initial investment required for the project is $80, and the project's cost of capital is 10%. The risk free interest rate is 5%. Suppose that to raise the funds for the initial investment, you can both raise some amount of levered equity and borrow $80 at the risk free interest rate. For the cost of the levered equity and the cost of capital (WACC) calculate Value of Cost of Levered EQuity and Cost of Capital.
