The current market value of the all equity firm Hugh Sweets Shops is $21.5 million.
a. If there are no taxes and the EBIT is $2,633,750, what is the cost of equity? What is the WACC?
b. If the tax rate is 40%, what is the EBIT if the unlevered cost of equity is 12.25%? What is the WACC?
(Assume there is no cost of financial distress and general M&M assumptions apply)
a.
Value of Hugh Sweets Shops = $21.50 million
EBIT = $2,633,750
if there is no taxes, and firm is unlevered firm. So EBIT of firm is equal to net income of the firm.
So, cost of equity = $2,633,750 / $21,500,000
= 12.25%
Cost fo equity is 12.25% and Firm is unlevered that is zero debt in capital structure. So WACC is equal to cost of equity, So, Cost of equity and WACC is 12.25%.
b.
Unlevered cost of equity = 12.25%
So, Net Income = $21,500,00 × 12.25%
= $2,633,750.
Net Income of firm should be $2,633,750.
Tax rate = 40%
SO, EBIT = $2,633,750 / (1 - 40%)
= $4,389,583.33
EBIT value should be $4,389,583.33.
Cost fo equity is 12.25% and Firm is unlevered that is zero debt in capital structure. So WACC is equal to cost of equity, So, Cost of equity and WACC is 12.25%.
