a)
To determine: The unlevered value for Company T.
Introduction:
The unlevered cost of capital is an assessment using either an actual debt-free or hypothetical to measure a firm’s cost to implement a particular capital project. The unlevered cost of capital must demonstrate whether the project is less expensive than a levered cost of capital.
b)
To determine: The levered value for Company T.
Introduction:
The leverage can also refer to the amount of debt used to finance assets. Leverage uses borrowed funds or various financial instruments to increase the
c)
To determine: The amount of debt that is necessary for initial expansion.
Introduction:
Debt is a money borrowed by one party from another that is used by many companies and individuals to make large purchase.
d)
To determine: The debt-to-value ratio and WACC.
Introduction:
WACC (Weighted Average Cost of Capital) is the rate that a company is expected to pay to all the security holders, on an average, in order to finance its assets.
Debt is a money borrowed by one party from another that is used by many companies and individuals to make large purchase.
e)
To determine: The levered value of the expansion using the WACC method.
Introduction:
The leverage can also refer to the amount of debt used to finance assets. Leverage uses borrowed funds or various financial instruments to increase the returns on the investment. If a company has high leverage, it means that it has more debt than equity.
WACC (Weighted Average Cost of Capital) is the rate that a company is expected to pay to all the security holders, on an average, in order to finance its assets.

EBK CORPORATE FINANCE
- An unlevered firm has a value of $850 million. An otherwise identical but levered firm has $80 million in debt at a 3% interest rate, which is its pre-tax cost of debt. Its unlevered cost of equity is 10%. After Year 1, free cash flows and tax savings are expected to grow at a constant rate of 4%. Assuming the corporate tax rate is 25%, use the compressed adjusted present value model to determine the value of the levered firm. (Hint: The interest expense at Year 1 is based on the current level of debt.) Enter your answer in millions. For example, an answer of $10,550,000 should be entered as 10.55. Do not round intermediate calculations. Round your answer to two decimal places.arrow_forwardSuppose you sell a fixed asset for $90,000 when its book value is $95,000. If your company's marginal tax rate is 21 percent, what will be the effect on cash flows of this sale (i.e., what will be the after-tax cash flow of this sale)?arrow_forwardPlease be accuratearrow_forward
- Please solve the below with detailed explanationarrow_forwardIn order to finance a new project, a company borrowed $4,000,000 at 8% per year with the stipulation that the company would repay the loan plus all interest at the end of one year. Assume the company’s effective tax rate is 39%. What was the company’s cost of debt capital (a) before taxes, and (b) after taxes? (c) Compare the calculated after-tax cost with the approximated cost using Equation [10.4].arrow_forwardThe Redwood Company is financed entirely with equity. The company is considering a loan of $20 million. The loan will be repaid in equal principal instalments over the next two years and has an interest rate of 8 percent. The company's tax rate is 24 percent. Assume there is no default risk. According to MM Proposition I with taxes, show how much firm value increase is attributed to the interest tax shield of the loan? Select an answer that is closest to yours. O $2.4 million O $0.576 million O $0.520 million O $1.6 millionarrow_forward
- Zencorp is considering buying a $220,000 production machine. It would be depreciated (simplified straight line) for 10 years. This investment would allow the firm to increase sales by $130,000 per year. Operating expenses would increase by $80,000 per year also. The corporate tax rate is 21%. What is the annual cash flow for the project? O $75,720 O $44,120 O $170,520 O $71,100 O $53,720arrow_forwardSuppose you sell a fixed asset for $129,000 when its book value is $149,000. If your company’s marginal tax rate is 40 percent, what will be the effect on cash flows of this sale (i.e., what will be the after-tax cash flow of this sale)? (Enter your answer as a whole number.)arrow_forwardSuppose Goodyear Tire and Rubber Company is considering divesting one of its manufacturing plants. The plant is expected to generate free cash flows of $1.50 million per year, growing at a rate of 2.5% per year. Goodyear has an equity cost of capital of 8.5%, a debt cost of capital of 7.0%, a marginal corporate tax rate of 35%, and a debt-equity ratio of 2.6. If the plant has average risk and Goodyear plans to maintain a constant debt-equity ratio, what after-tax amount must it receive for the plant for the divestiture to be profitable? A divestiture would be profitable if Goodyear received more than $ million after tax. (Round to one decimal place.)arrow_forward
