In year 1, AMC will earn $ before interest and taxes. The market expects these earnings to grow at a rate of per year. The firm will make no net investments (i. e., capital expenditures will equal depreciation) or changes to net working capital. Assume that the corporate tax rate equals %. Right now, the firm has $ inrisk-free debt. It plans to keep a constant ratio of debt to equity every year, so that on average the debt will also grow by % per year.

a. If AMC were an all-equity (unlevered) firm, what would its market value be?
b. Assuming the debt is fairly priced, what is the amount of interest AMC will pay next year? If AMC's debt is expected to grow by % per year, at what rate are its interest payments expected to grow?
c. Even though AMC's debt is riskless (the firm will notdefault), the future growth of AMC's debt is uncertain, so the exact amount of the future interest payments is risky. Assuming the future interest payments have the same beta as AMC's assets, what is the present value of AMC's interest tax shield?
d. Using the APV method, what is AMC's total market value, VL? What is the market value of AMC's equity?
e. What is AMC's WACC? (Hint: Work backward from the FCF and VL.)

g. Show that the following holds for AMC: .
h. Assuming that the proceeds from any increases in debt are paid out to equity holders, what cash flows do the equity holders expect to receive in one year? At what rate are those cash flows expected to grow? Use that information plus your answer to part (f) to derive the market value of equity using the FTE method.
