Suppose the risk-free interest rate is 5.4% and assume perfect capital markets. a. What is the initial value of Gladstone's equity without leverage? Now suppose Gladstone has zero-coupon debt with a $100 million face value due next year. b. What is the initial value of Gladstone's debt? c. What is the yield-to-maturity of the debt? What is its expected return? d. What is the initial value of Gladstone's equity? What is Gladstone's total value with leverage
