Answer and Explanation:

Fair value refers to the current market price of the asset while historical cost is the cost at which the asset was acquired. Fair market value will always be higher than historical cost so it reflects the actual worth of the asset.

One of the qualities that makes valuing current assets at fair value rather than historical cost is the availability and reliability of current market price or fair value of current assets.

Answer:

$8.31 million and No.

Explanation:

In this question, we have to find out the present value which is shown below:

= $1 + first year value ÷ ( 1 + discount rate) + second year value ÷ ( 1 + discount rate) ^ number of years + third year value ÷ ( 1 + discount rate) ^ number of years

= $1 + $2 million ÷ (1 + 10%) + ($3 million ÷ 1.10)^2 + ($4 million ÷ 1.10)^3

= $1 million + $1.82 million + $2.48 million + $3.01 million

= $8.31 million

No the package would not worth $10 million as its present value is $8.31 million

Answer: See explanation

Explanation:

First we will have to calculate the value of the firm before the debt issue. This will be:

= 25,000,000 × $10

= $250,000,000

We also calculate the value of the firm after after the proposed capital structure change. The value of equity will be:

= $250,000,000 - $160,000,000

= $90,000,000

Therefore, the value of debt will also be $160,000,000.
