Firm new value and new debt-equity ratio


A $500 million firm is financed by $250 million in debt and $250 million in equity. It issues $150 million in debt, and repurchases $50 million in equity. The market believes the $100 million increase in value will result in wasteful spending by managers, which costs $5 million in NPV. However, the higher $150 million in new debt will also create $20 million in additional tax shelter NPV. What is the firm's new value and new debt-equity ratio?
