Explanation / Answer
Answer: r SU = w d r d + w s r sL
r SU =30%*8% + 70%*13.4%
r SU = 11.78%
Tax Shields 1-3 = Interest * Tax Rate
Tax Shields 1-3 = 1.5M * 40%
Tax Shields 1-3 = 600,000
Tax Shield 4 = $1,472,000 * 40%
Tax Shield 4 = $588,800
Tax Shield Horizon Value = (588,800*1.05)/(11.78%-5%) = $9.12M
Tax Shield Value = 600K/(1+ r SU )+600K/(1+ r SU )^2+600K/(1+ r SU )^3+(588,800+9.12M)/(1+ r SU )^4
Tax Shield Value = $7.67M
Unlevered V ops = 2.5/(1+r SU ) + 2.9/(1+r SU )^2 + 3.4/(1+r SU )^3 + (3.57 + 55.29)/(1+r SU )^4
Unlevered V ops = $44.69M
V ops = Unlevered Vops + Value of Tax Shields
V ops = $44.69 + $7.67 V ops = $52.36M
Equity Value = (V ops – Debt)/Number of Shares
= ($52.36 – 10.82)/1M = $41.54M/1M
P 0 = $41.54/share
