Expert Solution
1. If there is no cost to financial distress, the company can borrow entire amount of $1,005,000.
Value of levered firm = Value of unlevered firm + Value of levered firm * tax rate
Value of levered firm = $1,005,000 + Value of levered firm * 33%
Value of levered firm - Value of levered firm * 33% = $1,005,000
Value of levered firm (1 - 0.33) = $1,005,000
Value of levered firm = $1,005,000 / 0.67 = $1,500,000
2. Probability of financial distress = 11%
Value of firm in case of financial distress = $300,000
Probability of no financial distress = 1 - 11% = 89%
Value of firm in case of no financial distress = $1,077,600
Value of firm = 11% * $300,000 + 87% * $1,077,600
= $33,000 + $959,064
= $992,064
