Answer:

Value of equity $350 million

Explanation:

The value of a levered firm is the sum of the value of equity and the value of debt securities

The total value = Value of equity + Value of debt

Value of debt= 30% × 500

                       = $150 million

Value of equity = Value of company - Value of debt

 = $500 million - $150 million

= $350 million
