Question

Total assets---- $3,000 million Tax rate------ 40%
Operating income (EBIT)---$800 million Debt ratio----- 0%
Interest expense--- $0 million WACC---- 10%
Net income---- $480 million M/B ratio----- 1.00?
Share price---- $32.00 EPS = DPS----- $3.20

The consultant believes that if the company moves to a capital structure financed with 20% debt and 80% equity (based on market values) that the cost of equity will increase to 11% and that the pre-tax cost of debt will be 10%. If the company makes this change, what would be the total market value (in millions) of the firm?

This was my answer but it didn't come out in millions but rather billions

20% Debt and 80%equity, 10% pre-tax cost of debt

[(.20)*(.10)*(1-.4)]+ (.8*(.11))= New WACC= .188= 18.8%
V= [FCF/ WACC]= [ EBIT(1-tax)/ (WACC)]
[800million(1-.40)]/ .188= [480million/.188]=
=$2,553,191,489 Billion is the market value of the
