    The answer is $750 millions

    Explanation:

    After recapitalization, the Weight of Debts of Nichols Corporation is 25%. Hence, its Weight of Equity Capital is: 100% - 25% = 75%.

    The formula of Value of Operations as follows:

    Value of Operations = Weight of Debts x Value of Debts + Weight of Equity Capital x Value of Equity Capital

    Because Nichols Corporation's value of operations is equal to $600 million after recapitalization, we have the following equation with S as the value of equity after the recap:

    600 = 25% x 150 + 75% x S

    => S = (600 - 25% x 150) / 75% = 750
