Answer is $1,787,318
Number of shares under all-equity plan = 153,000
Value of Debt = $257,000
Number of shares repurchased = 22,000
Number shares outstanding = Number of shares under all-equity
plan - Number of shares repurchased
Number shares outstanding = 153,000 - 22,000
Number shares outstanding = 131,000
Price per share = Value of Debt / Number of shares
repurchased
Price per share = $257,000 / 22,000
Price per share = $11.68182
Value of firm = Price per share * Number shares outstanding +
Value of Debt
Value of firm = $11.68182 * 131,000 + $257,000
Value of firm = $1,530,318 + $257,000
Value of firm = $1,787,318
