Hi,
I don't know how to solve this corporate finance problem.
Assume the M&M Model with corporate holds and assume investors are taxed at a rate of 25% on equity income and 45% on debt income at personal tax rate.
What is the personal tax rate on debt income for Company A for it to be indifferent between debt and equity financing?
How high must the personal tax rate be on debt income for Company C for debt financing to not be beneficial?
