    a. $640,384.62

    b. $699,134.62

    Explanation:

    a. The computation of the value of the firm is shown below:

    = EBIT * (1 - tax rate) : cost of equity

    = $111,000 * (1 - 0.25) : 13%

    = $83,250 : 13%

    = $640,384.62

    b. The computation of the value of the firm in second case is shown below:

    = Value of the firm + borrowed amount * tax rate

    = $640,384.62 + $235,000 * 25%

    = $640,384.62 + $58,750

    = $699,134.62
