Give only typing answer with explanation and conclusion U and L are two firms with the same EBIT of $115,000. They are identical in every respect except firm L has a debt of $900,000 at 6% rate of interest. The cost of equity of firm U is 8% and that of firm L is 10%. Assume that arbitrage principle will be applied in this setting and it is possible to make an arbitrage profit (surplus). Also, all earnings streams are perpetuities, taxes are ignored and both firms distribute?
Referring to table below, calculate the market value of firm L (without a corporate income tax) if the equity amount in its capital structure decreases to $5,000 and the debt amount increases to $5,000. At this capital structure, the cost of equity is 15 percent. Round your answer to the nearest dollar.

a) Consider two firms L (Levered) & U (Unlevered) which are identical in all respect except for the capital structure. Both firms have EBIT of sh.900,000 ,a cost of equity of 10% and no corporate taxes. Firm L is partially using sh.4,000,000 of 7.5% interest debt while firm U is all equity financed. All the other traditional assumptions are applicable.Required:i) Using the Net income approach, compute the values of the two firms and WACC ii) Determine whether any of the two firms is overvalued giving an opportunity to make arbitrage profitiii) When would the arbitrage process cease?
You are given the financial information for the Unic Company: Earnings Before Interest and Tax (EBIT) = $126.58 Corporate tax rate (TC) = 0.21 Debt (D) = $500 Unlevered cost of capital (RU) = 0.20 The cost of debt capital is 10 percent. Question: Determine the value of Unic Company equity? Determine the cost of equity capital for Unic Company? Determine the WACC for Unic Company?
Given: Firm A is all-equity financed and has total assets of $200 million. Firm B is an identical firm to Firm A, but 70% of its $200 million of total assets are financed with debt bearing an interest rate of 5%. Assume firms pay corporate taxes at the rate of 20% of taxable earnings. Both firms have the same EBIT, $15 million. Compute Firm B's interest deduction. Firm B’s interest deduction is $ ______ million. Keep the result with one decimal.
You have the following data for your company. Market Value of Equity: $520 Book Value of Debt: $130 Required rate of return on equity: 12% Required rate of return on debt (pre-tax): 7% Corporate tax rate: 25% The company's debt is assumed to be is reasonably safe, so the book value of debt is a reasonably approximation for the market value of debt. What is the weighted average cost of capital for this company?
Consider two firms that are identical in every respect EXCEPT for their capital structures. The unlevered firm is financed entirely by equity whereas the capital structure of the levered firm includes $30,000 of debt at 12%.The annual earnings of both companies before interest are the same, $10,000. The cost of equity in the unlevered firm is 15% and in the levered company at 16%. A) Determine the market values of the two companies. B) Suppose an investor owns 1% of the equity in the levered firm, describe the arbitrage process.
