Text Book: Financial Management Theory and Practice 13e, Brigham EhrhardtProblem: (26-8)Schwarzentraub Industries expected free cash flow for the year is $500,000; in the future, free cash flow is expected to grow at t a rate of 9%. The company currently has no debt, and its cost of equity is 13%. I
a) Vu = $500,000 / (Ru g) = $500,000 / (0.13 0.09) = $12,500,000b) Vl = $12.5 million [(0.07 * 0.40 * $5,000,000) / (0.13 0.09)] = $12.5 million $3.5 million = $16 millionSince the value of Debt is $5,000,000 S = $16,000,000 $5,000,000 = $11,000,000 Rl = Ru (Ru Rd) * (Debt / Equity) = 0.13 (0.13 0.07) * 5/11 = 0.157 or 15.7%c) Under M&M Vl = Vu T * D = $12,500,000 0.40 * $5,000,000 = $12,500,000 $2,000,000 = $14,500,000 S = $14,500,000 $5,000,000 = $9,500,000Rl = Ru (Ru Rd) * (1 Tax rate) * (Debt / Equity) = 0.13 (0.13 0.07) * (1 0.40) * ($5,000,000 / $9,500,000) = 0.149 or 14.9%d) Vl is greater under the

tension that incorporates growth than under M&M because M&M assumes zero growth. A positive growth rate gives a larger value to the tax shield. In this case the value of tax shied under M&M is $2,000,000 and is $3,500,000 if growth is included. The cost of capital when growth is included is higher because the relative weight of equity is higher and the relative weight of debt is lower when the growth is ignored.
