The value of Lius operations is 4 million. The firms debt consists of 1-year, zero coupon bonds with a face value of 2 million. Lius volatility, , is 0.60, and the risk-free rate rRF is 6%. Because Lius debt is risky, its equity is like a call option and can be valued with the Black-Scholes Option Pricing Model (OPM). (See Chapter 8 for details of the OPM.) (1) What are the values of Lius stock and debt? What is the yield on the debt? (2) What are the values of Lius stock and debt for volatilities of 0.40 and 0.80? What are yields on the debt?
