Fortune Enterprises is an all-equity firm that is considering issuing $13.5 million of perpetual debt. The interest rate is 10%.

The firm will use the proceeds of the bond sale to repurchase equity. Fortune distributes all earnings available to stockholders immediately as dividends. The firm will generate $3 million of earnings before interest and taxes (EBIT) every year into perpetuity. Fortune is subject to a corporate tax rate of 40%. Suppose the personal tax rate on interest income is 55%, and the personal tax rate on equity income is 20%.

Answer:

d. Debt holders get $0 mil. under the unlevered plan vs. 0.6075 mil. under the levered plan

Explanation:

interests paid to debt holders = $13,500,000 x 10% = $1,350,000

generally, interest revenue is taxed as ordinary revenue = corporate income tax rate (if debt holder is a business) or personal income tax (if debt holder is an individual).

under the first plan, debt holders get nothing because there is no outstanding debt since the company is an all equity firm.

under the second plan, if the personal tax rate on interest income is 55%, which is really high, the debt holders will earn $1,350,000 x (1 - 55%) = $607,500

elena-s [515]
The rest of it will be: price equals marginal cost. But this indeed is not true. The most accepted idea is that for a monopolistically competitive firm the average revenue and price are the same quantity. Now, when a monopolistically competitive firm is in long-run equilibrium, then the marginal revenue is equal to marginal cost.

Bess [88]

Answer:  Dr. Bostwick was able to provide medical services that did not satisfy his own wants, so he exchanged those services for money that he used to buy things that did. Professor Boudreaux had money but desperately wanted a pediatric gastroenterologist to treat his son.

Explanation:

Trade generates value by transferring goods or services from those who value them less to the people who need them more. The only way people can decide to specialize in the making of a single good or service is because they already know they can trade it for other goods they do need.

In the video 'How the Division of Knowledge Saved My Son's Life', Professor Boudreaux explains that it was thanks to Dr. Bostwick specialization on pediatric gastroenterology that his son´s life was saved.
