MM Model with Corporate Taxes An unlevered firm has a value of $700 million. An otherwise identical but levered firm has $40 million in debt at a 5% interest rate. Its cost of debt is 5% and its unlevered cost of equity is 11%. No growth is expected. Assuming the corporate tax rate is 35%, use the MM model with corporate taxes to determine the value of the levered firm. Enter your answer in millions. For example, an answer of $1.2 million should be entered as 1.2, not 1,200,000. $ million
