Question 1: a) Happy Ltd. expects its EBIT to be $100,000 every year forever. The firm can borrow at 11 %. Natsu currently has no debt, and its cost of equity is 18 %. The tax rate is 31 %. Natsu will borrow $61,000 and use the proceeds to repurchase shares. What will the WACC be after recapitalization?b) Provide at least two circumstances, where interest tax-shield will have no value for a company.c) Your firm has a debt-equity ratio of 0.60. Your cost of equity is 11 % and your after-tax cost of debt is 7 %. What will your cost of equity be if the target capital structure becomes a 50/50 mix of debt and equity?
Question 2:a) Mira Inc. is evaluating an extra dividend versus a share repurchase. In either case, $9,000 would be spent. Current earnings are $1.30 per share and the stock currently sells for $64 per share. There are 1,000 shares outstanding. In answering the questions that follow, ignore taxes for the first two:

of the interest tax shield? Assume a 30% tax rate.
a)
Compute the PV of interest tax shield
Your firm currently has $112 million in debt outstanding with a 10% interest rate. The terms of the loan require it to repay
$28 million of the balance each year. Suppose the marginal corporate tax rate is 25%, and that the interest tax shields have the same risk as the loan. What is the present value of the interest tax
shields from this debt?
The present value of the interest tax shields is $ million (Round to two decimal places)
