    Option (C) is correct.

    Explanation:

    Given that,

    No. of shares = 200,000

    Market value per share = $20 each

    Tax rate = 34%

    Debt amount = $1,000,000

    Market value of firm:

    = Market value of equity + (Tax rate * Debt)

    = (No. of shares * market value per share) + (Tax rate * Debt amount)

    = (200,000 * $20) + (0.34 * $1,000,000)

    = $4,000,000 + $340,000

    = $4,340,000

    = $4.340 million

    The firm be worth after adding the debt is $4.340 million.
