Answer:

The value of firm is $32,032

Step-by-step explanation:

Unlevered Value is the value of firm calculated purely on the equity portion of fund. Levered value is the value which includes the value of loan in it.

As per given data

EBIT = $7,000

Net Income = $7000 x ( 1 - 0.34) = $4,620

Unlevered value of the firm = $4,620 / 15% = $30,800

As given debt portion is 50%

Levered value of the firm = $30,800 + 8% x 50% x 30,800 = $30,800 + $1,232 = $32,032
