Return to assets | 12% |
Cost of debt | 10% |
Debt value (perpetuity) | 2000 |
Tax rate | 30% |
Annual pre-tax earnings | 600 |
Value of the unlevered company = value of all equity firm = total value of the firm
= ( pretax earnings * [ 1 - tax rate ] ) / required rate of return
= [ 600 * ( 1 - 30%) ] / 0.12
= 600 * 0.7 / 0.12
=420 / 0.12
= 3500
Value of levered company = Value of unlevered company + value of debt * corporate tax rate
= 3500 + 2000 *0.35 = 3500 + 700 = 4200
value of the unlevered company if a growth rate of g=5% applies
= ( pretax earnings*(1+growth rate) - [ 1 - tax rate ] ) / (required rate of return - growth rate)
= 600*1.05 *( 1 -0.30 ) / ( 0.12 -0.05)
= 441 / 0.07
= 6300
