Each restaurant has a debt-equity ratio of 30 percent and makes interest payments of $43,000 at the end of each year. The cost of the firm's levered equity is 16 percent. Each store estimates that annual sales will be $1.29 million; annual cost of goods sold will be $750,000; and annual general and administrative costs will be $410,000. These cash flows are expected to remain the same forever. The corporate tax rate is 21 percent.

Value of equity = $429,562.5

Explanation:

The value of the company equity is the net cash flow discounted at levered cost o equity

Net cash flow = sales - cost of goods - admin cost - interest - taxes

= 1,290,000 - 750,000 - 410,000-43,000

= $87000

Net cash flow = 87,000 - (21% * 87,000)

=$68,730

PV of $68730 perpetuity discounted at 16%

PV = Net cash flow/cost of equity

68,730 / 0.16

PV = $429,562.5

Value of equity = $429,562.5
