An unlevered firm has a value of $900 million. An otherwise
identical but levered firm has $40 million in debt at a 7% interest
rate, which is its pre-tax cost of debt. Its unlevered cost of
equity is 12%. After Year 1, free cash flows and tax savings are
expected to grow at a constant rate of 3%. 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.
