Company U and company L are identical in every respect except
company U is unlevered and company L has $8,000,000 perpetual debt
with an interest rate of 4%. Both companies are expecting to have
an EBIT of $1,200,000 in perpetuity and all earnings will be
immediately distributed to common shareholders. Company U has a
cost of equity of 6%. Assume that all Modigliani and Miller
assumptions are satisfied. Calculate the cost of equity for the
levered firm according to MM proposition II without taxes.
