- Wild Berry (WB) will remain in business for one more year. At the end of next year, the firm will generate a liquidating cash flow of S370M in a boom year and S150M in a recession year; both states are equally likely. The cost of equity for the unlevered firm is rU = 10%. The firm's outstanding debt matures in a year and has amarket (and book) value of S150M today. The interest payment on this debt is S15M at the end of next year. The corporate tax is ?c = 35%. Corporate taxes is the only relevant market imperfection. 23.

The acquisition is expected to increase Rose's free cash flow by $5 million the first year, and this contribution is expected to grow at a rate of 3% every year there after. Rose currently maintains a debt to equity ratio of 1, its marginal tax rate is 40%, its cost of debt rD is 6%, and its cost of equity rE is 10%. Rose Industries will maintain a constant debt-equity ratio for the acquisition. Rose's unlevered cost of capital is closest to: 9.0% 8% 7.0% 7.5%arrow_forward
