Answer:
A. $516,000
B. $696,600
Explanation:
A. Calculation to to determine the value of the Company's equity
First step is to calculate the Net income
Sales1,540,000
Less: Cost of goods sold790,000
Less: General and administrative costs525,000
Less: Interest expenses53,000
Income before corporate tax 172,000
Less: Corporate tax 40% 68,800
(40%*172,000)
Net income103,200
(172,000-68,800)
Now let determine the value of the Company's equity using this formula
Value of the Company's equity
= Net income/ cost of the firm’s levered equity
Let plug in the formula
Value of the Company's equity = $103,200/0.20
Value of the Company's equity = $516,000
Therefore The Value of the Company's equity is $516,000
B. Calculation to determine the total value of Company equity
First step is to calculate the Debt
Debt equity Ratio = 0.35
Debt/Equity = 0.35
Debt/ $516,000 = 0.35
Debt = $516,000 * 0.35
Debt =$180,600
Now let determine The Company’s value using this formula
Company’s Total value = Equity + Debt
Let plug in the formula
Company’s Total value = $516,000 + $180,600
Company’s Total value = $696,600
Therefore the total value of Company equity is $696,600
