Marpor Industries has no debt and expects to generate free cash flows of $14 million each year. Marpor believes that if it permanently increases its level of debt to $27.20 million, the risk of financial distress may cause it to lose some customers and receive less favourable terms from its suppliers. As a result, Marpor's expected free cash flows with debt will be only $13 million per year. Suppose Marpor's tax rate is 22%, the risk-free rate is 6%, the expected return of the market is 12%, and the beta of Marpor's free cash flows is 1.2 (with or without leverage). a. Estimate Marpor's value without leverage. b. Estimate Marpor's value with the new leverage. + a. Estimate Marpor's value without leverage. Marpor's value without leverage is $ million. (Round to two decimal places.) b. Estimate Marpor's value with the new leverage. Marpor's value with the new leverage is $ million. (Round to two decimal places.)
