Imagine a firm with one period of operations. In case of a strong economy, the FCF from operations at year 1 will be $4,500. In case of a weak economy, the FCF at year 1 will be $2,100. Both scenarios are equally likely to happen. The risk-free rate is 4% and the equity risk premium is 16% per year. Under these circumstances, if the firm has $1,150 debt financing and there is no taxation (i.e., Modigliani & Miller world), what is the cost of levered equity? 33% 30% 20% 31.5% 28.5%
