Answer:

Value of the firm = 25000

Step-by-step explanation:

Use the below formula to find the value of firm.

Degree of Financial Leverage = EBIT / ( EBIT​ - Interest)

Degree of Financial Leverage = 0.25

0.25={200/ {200-Interests}

Interests amount = - 600

Interest amount = debt × Cost of Debts

Debt amount = Interest amount / Cost of Debt

Debt amount = - 600 / 0.12.

Debt amount = -5000

Now find the debt equity ratio:

Debt-equity ratio = debt / equity

Given Debt amount = 5000

0.25= 5000 / Equity

Equity =5 000 /0.25

The value of Equity = 20,000

Now, the value of the firm = Equity amount + Debt amount

The value of the firm = 20000 + 5000

The value of the firm = 25000
