How much will a firm need in cash flow before tax and interest to satisfy debtholders and equity holders if the tax rate is 35%, there is $13 million in common stock requiring a 10% return, and $6 million in bonds requiring a 6% return?
A. $1,392,000
B. $1,488,000
C. $2,360,000
D. $2,480,000
C. $2,360,000
After tax CF =
13 million shares x 10% = 1.3 million
+ tax on shares = .35/.65* 1.3 = 700,000
pretax cash flow =2,000,000
+6 million bonds x 6% interest = 360,000
cash flow before tax and interest = 2,360,000
Reconcile:

-700,000 taxes
C. $2,360,000 (cash flow before tax and interest = 2,360,000)
