Therefore the value of Alpha Corporation is 100 000 5 000 shares 20 per share . b. Modigliani-Miller Proposition I states that in the absence of taxes the value of a levered firm equals the value of an otherwise identical unlevered firm. Since Beta Corporation is identical to Alpha Corporation in every way except its capital structure and neither firm pays taxes the value of the two firms should be equal.
