    The value of firm is $32,032

    Explanation:

    Unlevered Value is the value of firm calculated purely on the equity portion of fund. Levered value is the value which includes the value of loan in it.

    As per given data

    EBIT = $7,000

    Net Income = $7000 x (1 - 0.34) = $4,620

    Unlevered value of the firm = $4,620 / 15% = $30,800

    As given debt portion is 50%

    Levered value of the firm = $30,800 + 8% x 50% x 30,800 = $30,800 + $1,232 = $32,032
