A firm will earn a taxable net return of $500 million next year. If it took on debt today, it would have to pay creditors\varepsilon(rDebt) = 5% + 10% x wDebt2. Thus, if the firm has 100% debt, the financial markets would demand 15% expected rate of return. Further, assume that the financial markets will lend the firm capital at this overall net cost of 15%, regardless of how the firm is financed. The firm is in the 25% marginal tax bracket. 1. If the firmis fully equity-financed, what is its value? 2. Using APV, if the firm is financed with equal amounts of debt and equity today, what is its value? 3. Using WACC, if the firm is financed with equal amounts of debt and equity today, what is its value? 4. Does this firm have an optimal capital structure? If so, what is its APV and WACC?

A firm is considering a project that will generate perpetual after-tax cash flows of $16,500 per year beginning next year. The project has the same risk as the firm's overall operations and must be financed externally. Equity flotation costs 14 percent and debt issues cost 3 percent on an after-tax basis.

Assume gold price risk is diversifiable, and the riskless rate is 5%. A firm produces a unit of gold a year from today. Assume all interest is compounded annually and is tax deductible. The price of gold is either $500 or $189, with probability p and 1 - p, respectively. Suppose the firm pays taxes at a rate of 40% for all its cash flow in excess of $300. The value of the firm is the expected discounted value of its cash flow less the expected discounted value of bankruptcy costs and taxes that it pays. The firm can hedge by buying/selling forward contracts on gold. Assume that bankruptcy costs are zero. When p = 0.4, Find the value of unhedged unlevered firm.
