Answer: $1381400
Explanation:
From the question, we are informed that Company A is considering a merger with Company B and that A has 43,000 shares outstanding at a market price of $32 a share while B has 12,800 shares outstanding priced at $44 a share and the merger is expected to create $5,400 of synergy.
The total value of the merged firm will be:
= (43,000 × $32) + (12,800 × $44) + $5,400 - $563,200
= $1,376,000 + $563,200 + $5,400 - $563,200
= $1,944,600 - $563,200
= $1,381,400
Answer:
Future value (FV) = $57,908
Present value (PV) = $8,860
Number of years (n) = 18 years
Interest rate = ?
FV = PV(1 + r)n
$57,908 = $8,860(1 + r)18
$57,908 = $8,860(1 + r)18
<u>$57,908</u> = (1 + r)18
$8,860
6.535891648 = (1 + r)18
18√6.535891648 = 1 + r
1.10993 - 1 = r
r = 0.10992 = 10.99%
Explanation:
In this case, we will apply the future value of a lump sum (single investment) formula. The present value, future value and number of years are given with the exception of interest rate. Thus, interest rate is made the subject of the formula.
This is an example of Tying rewards and incentives directly to the achievement of strategic and financial targets.
By doing this, general Electric aimed to create an objective measurement for all of its emloyees that motivate them to keep increasing their performance if they hope to stay as an employee in that company.
