Suppose Pizza Club, a local pizza restaurant, makes interest payments of $34,000 at the end of each year. The cost of firm’s (levered) equity is 18 percent. The annual sales will be around $1.4 million, annual cost of goods sold will be $530,000, and annual general and administrative costs will be $340,000. The corporate tax rate is 40 percent. Assuming these cash flows being expected to remain the same forever, and with the FTE approach:
