Answer:

hello your question is incomplete below is the missing part of the complete question

Firm A is currently 100% equity financed, and it has the following balance sheet:

Assets             Debt

100,000             0                   Equity

                                               100,000

Answer : $170000

Explanation:

Value of equity/levered firm = $100000

Firm A project ( debt amount )= $50000

Tax rate = 40%

Determine the total value of firm A if it used equity to finance the project

= value of levered firm + debt amount + ( debt amount * tax )

= $100000 + $50000 + ( 50000 * 40 % )

= $170000

The total value of Firm A (value of assets) if it used equity to finance the project is $170,000.

Using this formula

Firm A Total value  = Value of levered firm + Debt + ( Debt × tax rate)

Let plug in the formula

Firm A Total value  = $100,000 + $50,000 + ($50,000× 40 % )

Firm A Total value =$100,000+$50,000+$20,000  

Firm A Total value  = $170,000

Inconclusion the total value of Firm A (value of assets) if it used equity to finance the project is $170,000.
