Your firm currently has $116 million in debt outstanding with a 9% interest rate. The terms of the loan require the firm to pay $29 million of the balance each year. Suppose that the marginal corporate tax rate is 40% and that the interest tax shields have the same risk as the loan. What is the present value of the interest shields from this debt?

Solution :
The Present value of the interest shields from this debt for Year 1 = $ 3,831,192.66

The Present value of the interest shields from this debt for Year 2 = $ 2,636,141.74
= $ 2,636,142 ( when rounded off to the nearest whole number )
The Present value of the interest shields from this debt for Year 3 = $ 1,612,319.11
= $ 1,612,319 ( when rounded off to the nearest whole number )
The Present value of the interest shields from this debt for Year 4 = $ 739,595.92
