Question

APV Model with Constant Growth

An unlevered firm has a value of $800 million. An otherwise identical but levered firm has $70 million in debt at a 4% interest rate. Its cost of debt is 4% and its unlevered cost of equity is 10%. After Year 1, free cash flows and tax savings are expected to grow at a constant rate of 3%. Assuming the corporate tax rate is 30%, use the compressed adjusted present value model to determine the value of the levered firm. (Hint: The interest expense at Year 1 is based on the current level of debt.) Enter your answer in millions. For example, an answer of $1.2 million should be entered as 1.2, not 1,200,000. Do not round intermediate calculations. Round your answer to two decimal places. Please show work.

ANSWER: $____million

Explanation / Answer

Answer:

Value of the Levered Firm = Value of the Unlevered Firm + Interest Tax Savings

=800+2.8*0.30

=800.84 million
