Under the MM zero-tax model, what is the value of the levered firm? Enter your answer in billions. For example, an answer of $1 billion should be entered as 1, not 1,000,000,000.

Value of Unlevered Firm = 40 bn
Value of Debt in Unlevered Firm = 40 bn * Debt Weight / Total WEight
= 40 bn * 20%
= 8 bn
Value of Levered Firm = value of unleverd Firm + value of Debt * Tax Rates
= 40 bn + 8 bn * 0%
= 40 bn
Value will be same as unlevered Firm.
