Maria & Co. expects its EBIT to be $80,000 every year forever. The firm can borrow at 14%. The firm currently has no debt, and the cost of the unlevered firm is 25%. If the tax rate is 35%, what is the value of the firm? What will the value be if the firm borrows $50,000 and uses the proceeds to repurchase shares?
In the previous problem, what is the cost of equity after recapitalization? What is the WACC?
