Relevant data: The number of shares on issue is 1 million and the number of bonds is 800,000 The constant annual dividend per share is $3 The bonds have an annual fixed coupon payment of $2.50 10-year government bonds have a yield of 2% and the market risk premium is 5% The beta of levered equity is 1.2 The beta of the bonds is 0.9 Which of the following is the market value of the levered firm’s assets? a. $68.3 million b. $21.2 million c. $70.1 million d. $42.9 million e. $54.7 millionarrow_forwardAn unlevered firm has expected earnings of $2,401 and a market value of equity of $19,600.

- A firm plans to grow at an annual rate of at least 16%. Its return on equity is 24%. Suppose the firm has a debt-equity ratio of 1/3. What is the maximum dividend payout ratio it can maintain without resorting to any external financing? Note: Do not round intermediate calculations. Enter your answer as a percent rounded to 2 decimal places. Answer is complete but not entirely correct. 33.33 X % Maximum dividend payout ratioarrow_forwardConsider a simple firm that has the following market-value balance sheet: Assets Liabilities end equity $1 040 Debt Equity $400 640 Next year, there are two possible values for its assets, each equally likely: $1 180 and $960. Its debt will be due with 4.9% interest. Because all of the cash flows from the assets must go to either the debt or the equity, if you hold a portfolio of the debt and equity in the same proportions as the firm's capital structure, your portfolio should earn exactly the expected return on the firm's assets. Show that a portfolio invested 38% in the firm's debt and 62% in its equity will have the same expected return as the assets of the firm. That is, show that the firm's pre-tax WACC is the same as the expected return on its assets. If the assets will be worth $1 180 in one year, the expected return on assets will be %.
