Problem #1: A firm with a normalized pretax income of $40 million, 25% tax rate, and a Total Debt/Total Capital ratio of 30%, decides to undertake a capital expansion financed by new debt. The new level of debt will raise the Total Debt/Total Capital ratio to 40% (5-percentage points above its industry average). As a result, the firm's credit rating is downgraded by a full level (say for example, from A to B) despite being secured by specific assets. This credit downgrade raises the firm's Weighted Average Cost of Capital (aka Required Rate of Return) from 10% to 11.5% (a) What is the value of the firm prior to the downgraded credit rating? (b) Assuming the firm's capital expansion program will lead to a 20% in normalized pretax income what is the firm's value in the aftermath of the credit downgrade
