@ Shardendu, in net income approach, overall cost of capital reduces as the debt content isncreases, but u see in my solution overall cost of capital has remained the same. It is 1st preposition of MM approach. secondly in NI approach Ke and Kd remain the same. but in my solution, as debt content increases, Ke increases in such a propotion so as to offset the effect of use of debt, the cheaper source of funds.it is second preposition of MM approach. K0 remains the same whether it is a levered co. or unlevered co.
further, in MM approch there will be no taxes (basic assumption). that is why tax has been ignored.
