control in the event of default. On the other hand, if they do not take advantage of the tax shield provided by debt, they risk losing control through a hostile takeover. Suppose a firm expects to generate free cash flows of $90 million per year, and the discount rate for these cash flows is 10%. The firm pays a tax rate of 25%. A raider is poised to take over the firm and finance it with $865 million in permanent debt. The raider will generate the same free cash flows, and the takeover attempt will be successful if the raider can offer a premium of 23% over the current value of the firm. According to the managerial entrenchment hypothesis, what level of permanent debt will the firm choose? The permanent debt required to prevent a takeover is $ million. (Round to the nearest integer.)
