I am not quite sure but the solution should be as per sheet attached --

@ vikas ji.....What about tax benefit on interest ?

With reference to the above reply,the Value of the company (V) is actually value of unlevered company. So, in case of B Ltd., since it invests Rs. 10,00,000 in debentures, add this amt to Rs. 455000 and thus now, value of A Ltd. will be Rs. 875000/- and that of B Ltd. it will be Rs. 1455000.

Thanks Vikas,Actually it is solved as follow

Mkt value of B Ltd =Value of unlevered firm +  tax sheild

ie                           =8,75,000 + 10,00,000 * (0.30) = 11,75,000

Query    Why tax sheild is added to it?

According to MM aproach cost of capital (ko) remains same irrespective of debt fund is used then how Mkt value of levered firm is increased by  tax sheild.??
