Explanation of Solution
Given,
The probability of boom state is 0.65.
The probability of recession state is 0.35.
Value of Company B in boom state is $290,000.
Value of Company B in recession state is $110,000.
Value of Company R in boom state is $260,000.
Value of Company R in recession state is $80,000.
Calculation of the value of the company before the merger:
The formula to calculate the value of the company in the possible states of the economy,
Calculation of total value of Company B:
Substitute 0.65 for the probability of boom state, 0.35 for the probability of recession state, $290,000 for the value of the company in boom state and $110,000 for the value of the company in recession state.
Hence, the value of Company B is $227,000.
Calculation of total value of Company R
Substitute 0.65 for the probability of boom state, 0.35 for the probability of recession state, $260,000 for the value of Company R in boom state and $80,000 for the value of Company R in a recession state
Hence, the value of Company R is $197,000.

Explanation of Solution
Given,
The probability of boom state is 0.65.
The probability of recession state is 0.35.
Calculated,
Value of equity in boom state is $165,000 (working note).
Value of equity in recession state is $0 (working note).
The total value of the Company B is $227,000 (refer a part).
For company B,
Calculation of value of equity before merger:
The formula to calculate the value of equity before the merger,
Substitute 0.65 for the probability of boom state, $165,000 for the value of equity in boom state, 0.35 for the probability of recession state and $0 for the value of equity in recession state in the above formula,
Hence, the value of equity of Company B before the merger is $107,250.
Calculation of value of debt before the merger,
The formula to calculate the value of debt,
Substitute $227,000 for the total value of the company and $107,250 for the value of equity of company in the above formula,
Hence, the value of debt of Company B before the merger is $119,750.
For Company R,
Given,
Company R is an all-equity company.
So Company R has no debt.
So the value of equity of Company R before the merger is equal to the total value of the company.
Hence, the value of equity before the merger is $197,000.
The value of debt before the merger is $0.
Working Note:
For Company B,
Calculation of value of equity of Company B in boom state:
Given,
The total value of Company B in boom state is $290,000.
Value of debt of Company B in boom state is $125,000.
The formula to calculate the value of equity in boom state,
Calculation of value of equity of Company B in recession state,
Given,
The total value of Company B in recession state is $110,000.
Value of debt of Company B in recession state is $125,000.
Since the value of debt of Company B is higher than the total value of Company B in recession state.
So there is no value equity value of Company B in recession state.
Thus, the value of equity of Company B before the merger is $107,250, the value of debt of Company B before the merger is $119,750. The value of equity of Company R before the merger is $197,000 and value of debt of Company R before the merger is $0.
