Market value = value of debt + value of common stock

200,000 + [EBIT – I](1-T) / .11

= 200,000 + [($100,000 – ($200,000 × 6%)) × (1-0.4) ] ÷ 11%

= $200,000 + [($100,000 – ($12,000)) × (0.6) ] ÷ 11%

= $200,000 + [$88,000 × 0.6] ÷ 11%

= $200,000 + ($52,800 ÷ 11%)

= $200,000 + $480,000

= $680,000
