Franklin Corporation is comparing two different capital structures, an all-equity plan (Plan I) and a levered plan (Plan II). Under Plan I, the company would have 185,000 shares of stock outstanding. Under Plan II, there would be 135,000 shares of stock outstanding and $1.92 million in debt outstanding. The interest rate on the debt is 7 percent and there are no taxes.

Use MM Proposition I to find the price per share. (Do not round intermediate calculations and round your answer to 2 decimal places, e. g., 32.16.)

    The price per share using MM Proposition I is $38,40

    The value of the firm under each of the two proposed plans is $7,104,000

    Explanation:

    In order to calculate the price per share using MM Proposition I we would have to use the following formula:

    share price=Debt/Difference in number of shares

    share price=1,920,000 / (185,000-135,000)

    share price=$38,40

    The price per share using MM Proposition I is $38,40

    In order to calcuate the value of the firm under each of the two proposed plans we would have to calculate the following formulas:

    All equity plan=share price*number of shares

    All equity plan=185,000*$38,40

    All equity plan=$7,104,000

    Levered plan=share price*number of shares+debt

    Levered plan=115,000*$20.59+$175,000

    Levered plan=$7,104,000

    The value of the firm under each of the two proposed plans is $7,104,000
