Financial Distress in Perfect Capital Markets

ProGrowth Inc. and StableTech Solutions are identical firms except that StableTech is more levered. Both companies will remain in business for one more year. The companies' economists agree that the probability of the continuation of the current expansion is 90% for the next year and the probability of a recession is 10%. If the expansion continues, each firm will be valued at $4.5 million. If a recession occurs, each firm will be valued at $1.9 million. ProGrowth's debt obligation requires the firm to pay $990,000 at the end of the year. StableTech's debt obligation requires the firm to pay $2 million at the end of the year. The discount rate is 14%.
