Imagine a firm with one period of operations. In case of a strong economy, the FCF from operations at year 1 will be $2,800. In case of a weak economy, the FCF at year 1 will be $1,800. Both scenarios are equally likely to happen. The risk-free rate is 3% and the equity risk premium is 12% per year. Under these circumstances, if the cost of levered equity is 28%, how much debt financing does the firm use? $1,000 $1,040 $1,080 $960 $1,120 Imagine a firm with one period of operations.
