Currently, Mil & Mod is an all-equity firm and expects EBIT to be around $151.52 million per year in perpetuity. The company currently pays a marginal tax rate of 34% and the unlevered cost of capital is 20%.

Required: (a) (b) (c) Using M&M proposition I with taxes, calculate the value of the firm and its equity after including debt.
