Answer:

The correct answer is $2.005 million.

Explanation:

According to the scenario, the given data are as follows:

Outstanding shares = 145,000

Market price = $22 per share

Debt = $1.5 million

Tax rate = 21%

So, Equity = 145,000 × $22 = $3,190,000

Debt = $1,500,000 × 21% = $315,000

So, Value = Equity + debt

= $3,190,000 + $315,000

= $3,505,000

So, we can calculate levered value of equity by following formula:

Levered value of equity = Total value - debt

= $3,505,000 - $1,500,000

= $2,005,000
