Firm WHOA is a one-year firm that produces a single cash flow next year. In the good state, the assets produce $40M and in the
bad state the assets produce $18M. The two states are equally likely. The firm owes $20M in debt next year and has no other
debt outstanding. If the firm defaults, it must pay $2M in legal fees and other bankruptcy costs. The firm has an asset beta of
0.95 and a debt beta of 0.10. Assume a risk free rate of 3 percent, the market risk premium is 8 percent, and that there are 2M
shares outstanding.
