Answer: 575,632

Explanation:

First we have to calculate the current value of the unlevered firm which will be:

= EBIT(1-Tax rate) / cost of equity

= (94000 × (1 - 24%) / 3.9%

= (94000 × (1-0.24)) /0.139

= (94000 × 0.76)/0.139

= 71440/0.139

= 513,957

Then we find the value of the levered firm which will be:

= 513957 + (0.24 × 513957 × 0.5)

= 513957+ 61675

= 575,632
