Firm A is a large firm in need of a new special technology department. Firm A currently has 900 million shares outstanding at a price of $20 per share. Firm A also carries perpetual debt of $1000 million. Firm B is a startup company that has the special technology needs that Firm A desires. Firm B currently has 10,000 shares outstanding that are owned by the founders. Firm B's pre-tax cash flows are $30million per year in perpetuity starting in one year. All financing (debt, equity, etc.) is conducted at rate of 10%, and the corporate tax rate is 40%.

Firm A can invest 500 million (a "research expense" which will be expensed immediately and tax deductible) to create their own special technology unit instead of acquiring Firm B.

a) What is the present value of the after tax cash flows at time = 1?

b) What is the present value of the after tax cash flows at time = 0?

Note: the after tax cash flows at time 0 will be financed like debt.

c) What is the present value (value added) from taking on additional debt?

d) What is the NPV of the project?

An unlevered firm has a value of $750 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 12%. After Year 1, free cash flows and tax savings are expected to grow at a constant rate of 4%. Assuming the corporate tax rate is 40%, use the compressed adjusted present value model to determine the value of the levered firm. (Hint: The interest expense at Year 1 is based on the current level of debt.) Enter your answer in millions. For example, an answer of $1.2 million should be entered as 1.2, not 1,200,000.
