Expert Solution

(1) EBIT(1-T) = $ 5 milllion, Capital Expenditure = $ 4 million, NWC = 0 and Depreciation = $ 2million
FCF = EBIT(1-T) + Depreciation - Capital Expenditure - NWC = 5 + 2 - 4 = $ 3 million

(2) Unlevered Beta = 1 = Bu, Risk-Free Rate = Rf = 1.5 % and Market Risk Premium = MRP = 4 %

Unlevered Cost of Equity = Ro = Rf + Bu x MRP = 1.5 + 1 x 4 = 5.5 %

Firm Value = FCF / Ro = 3 / 0.055 = $ 54.5455 million

(3) Number of Shares Outstanding = 5million

Price per Share = 54.5455 / 5 =$ 10.9091

(4) Target Debt Raised = D = $ 20 million. Tax Rate = t = 20 % and Pre-Tax Cost of Debt = r = 3 %

Value of Tax Shield = Total PV of Interest Tax Shield = (D x t x r) / r = (20 x 0.2 x 0.03) / 0.03 = $ 4 milion (discount rate equals the cost of debt as the debt is perpetual in nature)
