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?
$5
$20
$40
$80
$100
$200

Question 7
Gioanni Inc., has GH¢1 million in earnings before interest and taxes. Currently it is all-equity-financed. It may issue GH¢3 million in perpetual debt at 15 percent interest in order to repurchase stock, thereby recapitalizing the corporation. There are no personal taxes.
If the corporate tax rate is 40 percent, what is the income available to all security holders if the company remains all-equity-financed? If it is recapitalized?
What is the present value of the debt tax-shield benefits?
The equity capitalization rate for the company’s common stock is 20 percent while it remains all-equity-financed. What is the value of the firm if it remains all-equity financed? What is the firm’s value if it is recapitalized?
4. Magnum Headache, Inc., is unlevered, with equity valued at $7 million and with 3.5 million shares outstanding. The firm's cash flow before tax is $1 million. The corporate tax rate is 34 percent. Magnum is considering an exchange of 1 million shares of its equity for $2 million in debt with an annual interest expense of 10 percent (i.e., an opportunity to become levered). The change, of course, will not affect the firm's cash flow. Calculate the after-tax equity earnings per share for Magnum unlevered and for Magnum levered.
