sugar Skull Corporation uses no debt. The weighted average cost of capital is 8.5 percent. The current market value of the equity is $43 million and the corporate tax rate is 21 percent. What is the EBIT

Sagot :

The value of EBIT in the given question is $399,647,060.

Given, that the weighted average cost of capital = 8.5 percent

Corporate tax rate = 21 percent

The current market value of the equity = $43 million

Using the formula for determining the value of the unlevered firm which is,

Value of unlevered firm = {EBIT(1-t)}/[tex]k_{e}[/tex]             (equation 1)

  ( where, t = corporate tax rate

                [tex]k_{e}[/tex] = weighted average cost of capital )

Now, Substituting the value of corporate tax rate, the value of unlevered firm, and the weighted average cost of capital in equation 1.

 $43 million = EBIT {(1-0.21)/0.085}           (Since, corporate tax rate and weighted average cost of capital are in percentage to convert them into values we divide them by 100 )

 43,000,000 = EBIT * 0.79/0.085

  EBIT = 43,000,000 * 0.085/0.79

           = 43,000,000 * 9.29411

           = 39,96,47,058.8235

           = $399,647,060   ( after rounding off to the nearest tens)

Hence, the value of EBIT in the given question is $399,647,060
