Answer:
a) $21.63
b) $4,433,125
Explanation:
plan I, total stocks outstanding = 205,000
plan II, total stocks outstanding = 125,000, and $1,730,000 in debt ($1,730,000 x 8% = $138,400 in interests)
under MM proposition I, a firm's total value is equal whether it uses external financing (debt) or not:
205,000Pâ‚€ = 125,000Pâ‚€ + $1,730,000
205,000Pâ‚€ - 125,000Pâ‚€ = $1,730,000
80,000Pâ‚€ = $1,730,000
Pâ‚€ = $1,730,000 / 80,000 = $21.625 = $21.63
the firm's total value = $21.625 x 205,000 = $4,433,125
