- Q. Emmar Industries borrows $800 million at an interest rate of 7.6%. Emmar will pay tax at an effective rate of 35%. What is the present value of interest tax shields if?(a.) It expects to maintain this debt level into the far future?(b.) It expects to repay the debt at the end of 5 years?(c.) It expects to maintain a constant debt ratio once it borrows the $800 million and rassets =10%?arrow_forwardA 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.
