Answer:

$313.81

Explanation:

Calculation for the value (in millions) of Wilson Dover's debt if its equity is viewed as an option

Total value = P = $500.0

Debt = X = $200.0

Volatility (σ) = 0.6

rRF = 5%

d1 = 1.910485

N(d1) = 0.9720

d2= 1.310485

N(d2)=0.9050

Using this formula

Vs= PN(d1) − Xe−RFtN(d2)

Let plug in the formula

Vs= $500(0.9720) − $200e−0.05(1)(0.9050)

Vs= $485.98 − $172.17

Vs= $313.81

Therefore the value (in millions) of Wilson Dover's debt if its equity is viewed as an option will be $313.81
