DBF borrows $3.29B by issuing 12-year bonds. ECB's cost of debt is 6.07%, so it will need to pay interest each year for the next 12 years, and then repay the principal $3.29B in year 12. ECB's marginal tax rate will remain 42.99% throughout this period. By how much does the interest tax shield increase the value of DBF? NOTE: Provide your answers in Millions. E.G. for 100M you must enter 100.0000, for 20M you must enter 20.000, etc.

- Please answer the following urgently : Bruce & Co. expects its EBIT to be $100,000 every year forever. The firm can borrow at 11 percent. Bruce currently has no debt, and its cost of equity is 18 percent. The tax rate is 31 percent.

It believes that its source of funds (the Federal Reserve) will soon increase the cost of loans. In fact, the cost of making loans is expected to change from the current 2 percent interest to either 3 percent or 4 percent interest in the next year. There will be no change in its $2,000,000 income at the 2 percent interest level, but net income will fall to $1,000,000 if interest rates increase to 3 percent and decrease to $100,000 if the interest rates increase to 4 percent . Finally, National predicts a 10 percent probability of a decrease to 2 percent interest rate, a 50 percent probability of a 3 percent interest rate, and a 40 percent probability of an increase to 4 percent interest rate.arrow_forwardTBTF Bank makes a 7 year interest only loan to AFC Inc of $4,300,000.00.

- The Blue Company has under study a new credit policy that they believe will increase annual sales from P11 million to P14 million. However, the new plan is also expected to increase bad debt losses from P800,000 to P1.2 million each year. The average collection period on collectible sales is now averaging 90 days.
