- Choose a,b,c,d,e for the following: Question 3 - Firm U has an EBIT of $10 million and is 100% equity-financed while Firm L, which also has an EBIT of $10 million, uses $100,000 as debt in its capital structure. The interest rate is 6% p.a. and both firms are subject to a 25% tax rate. Based on this information, which of the following is true? a. The value of Firm L is the same as the value of Firm U. b. The tax paid by Firm L is $2,500,000. c. The value of Firm L exceeds the value of Firm U by $1,500. d. Firm U pays lesser tax than Firm L. e. The cash flow from L is $7,501,500.arrow_forwardGive only typing answer with explanation and conclusion U and L are two firms with the same EBIT of $115,000. They are identical in every respect except firm L has a debt of $900,000 at 6% rate of interest. The cost of equity of firm U is 8% and that of firm L is 10%. Assume that arbitrage principle will be applied in this setting and it is possible to make an arbitrage profit (surplus). Also, all earnings streams are perpetuities, taxes are ignored and both firms distribute?arrow_forwardYou have the following data for your company. Market Value of Equity: $520 Book Value of Debt: $130 Required rate of return on equity: 12% Required rate of return on debt (pre-tax): 7% Corporate tax rate: 25% The company's debt is assumed to be is reasonably safe, so the book value of debt is a reasonably approximation for the market value of debt. What is the weighted average cost of capital for this company?arrow_forward

Assume the before-tax component costs of equity, preferred stock, and debt are 11.60 percent, 9.50 percent, and 9 percent, respectively. What is MNINK's WACC if the firm faces an average tax rate of 21 percent and can make full use of the interest tax shield? (Round your answer to 2 decimal places.) WACC %arrow_forward
- Referring to table below, calculate the market value of firm L (without a corporate income tax) if the equity amount in its capital structure decreases to $5,000 and the debt amount increases to $5,000. At this capital structure, the cost of equity is 15 percent. Round your answer to the nearest dollar. Firm U Firm L Net operating income (EBIT) $ 1,000 $ 1,000 Less: Interest payments to debt holders, I - 100 Income available to stockholders (dividends), D $ 1,000 $ 900 Total income available to security holders, I + D $ 1,000 $ 1,000 Required rate of return on debt, kd - 5 % Market value of debt, B = I/kd - $ 2,000 Required rate of return on equity,ke 10 % 11.25 % Market value of equity, E = D/ke $ 10,000 $ 8,000 Market value of firm, E + B $ 10,000 $ 10,000 $arrow_forwarda) Consider two firms L (Levered) & U (Unlevered) which are identical in all respect except for the capital structure. Both firms have EBIT of sh.900,000 ,a cost of equity of 10% and no corporate taxes. Firm L is partially using sh.4,000,000 of 7.5% interest debt while firm U is all equity financed. All the other traditional assumptions are applicable.Required:i) Using the Net income approach, compute the values of the two firms and WACC ii) Determine whether any of the two firms is overvalued giving an opportunity to make arbitrage profitiii) When would the arbitrage process cease?arrow_forwardPlease see image to solve for question.arrow_forward
