EBIT = $ 2.5 million per year
Ke = 20%
Tax rate, T = 34%
A. Value of Firm = EBIT(1-T)/Ke = 2.5(1-0.34)/0.2
Value of the firm = $ 8.25 million
B. Now the company introduces debt of $ 600,000 in its capital structure.
The value of Firm can be obtained using the MM approach
Value of levered firm = $ 8.454 million
C. The difference in the market value is due to addition of debt in the capital structure of the firm.
