Music City, Inc., has no debt outstanding and a total market value of $295,000. Earnings before interest and taxes, EBIT, are projected to be $22,000 if economic conditions are normal. If there is strong expansion in the economy, then EBIT will be 25 percent higher. If there is a recession, then EBIT will be 40 percent lower.

Ignore taxes for this problem.
