Q Corporation and R Inc. are two companies with very similar characteristics. The only difference between the two companies is that Q Corporation is an unlevered firm, and R Inc. is a levered firm with debt of $3.5 million and cost of debt of 10%. Both companies have earnings before interest and taxes (EBIT) of $1.5 million and a marginal corporate tax rate of 35%. Q Corporation has a cost of capital of 15%.
j. Both companies are now evaluating a project that requires an initial investment of $1.15 million, that will yield after tax cash inflows of $500,000 per year for the next three years.

Suppose there are perfect capital markets with taxes. Investors expect a company to have $120 earnings before interest and taxes in one year. This company has a 25% tax rate, $100 market value of debt, and 20 shares outstanding. This company’s net working capital, depreciation expense, and capital expenditures are all expected to be zero in perpetuity. Investors expect this company to have the same earnings before interest and taxes, market value of debt, tax rate, and number of shares outstanding in perpetuity. The firm’s unlevered cost of equity is 8% and its cost of debt is 5%. Based on this information, what amount would you expect this company’s share price to be closest to?
