Milano Pizza Club owns three identical restaurants popular for their specialty pizzas. Each restaurant has a debt–equity ratio of 35 percent and makes interest payments of $53,000 at the end of each year. The cost of the firm’s levered equity is 20 percent. Each store estimates that annual sales will be $1.54 million; annual cost of goods sold will be $790,000; and annual general and administrative costs will be $525,000. These cash flows are expected to remain the same forever. The corporate tax rate is 40 percent.

Answer:

A. $516,000

B. $696,600

Explanation:

A. Calculation to to determine the value of the Company's equity

First step is to calculate the Net income

Sales1,540,000

Less: Cost of goods sold790,000

Less: General and administrative costs525,000

Less: Interest expenses53,000

Income before corporate tax 172,000

Less: Corporate tax 40% 68,800

(40%*172,000)

Net income103,200

(172,000-68,800)

Now let determine the value of the Company's equity using this formula

Value of the Company's equity

= Net income/ cost of the firm’s levered equity

Let plug in the formula

Value of the Company's equity = $103,200/0.20

Value of the Company's equity = $516,000

Therefore The Value of the Company's equity is $516,000

B. Calculation to determine the total value of Company equity

First step is to calculate the Debt

Debt equity Ratio = 0.35

Debt/Equity = 0.35

Debt/ $516,000 = 0.35

Debt = $516,000 * 0.35

Debt =$180,600

Now let determine The Company’s value using this formula

Company’s Total value = Equity + Debt

Let plug in the formula

Company’s Total value = $516,000 + $180,600

Company’s Total value = $696,600

Therefore the total value of Company equity is $696,600
