The data in this question is used in the next three problems. These questions deal with Miller's (1977) model of the value of the tax shield including the personal taxes of stock holders and bond holders. The Rice Co. is an unlevered firm with a market value of $35,000. The firm is considering adding $5,000 in debt (in place of equity) to its capital structure. The highest marginal personal tax rate in the US is currently 37% and the statutory tax rate on corporations is 21%. If both the stock holders and bondholders pay the 37% marginal tax rate and corporations pay the 21%, what will be the value of the relevered firm with the $5,000 in debt? (Round your answer to the nearest dollar, e.g. 42755)
