Answer:

The value of the firm or worth of the firm is $147058.82 rounded off to 2 decimal places

Explanation:

We first need to calculate the required rate of return for this firm that will be used as the discount rate in the valuation of the firm using the discounted cash flow methods.

Using the CAPM we can calculate the required rate of return as,

r = rRF + Beta * (rM - rRF)

Where,

  • rRF is the risk free rate
  • rM is the return on Market

So,

r = 0.04 + 0.4 * (0.11 - 0.04)

r = 0.068 or 6.8%

As the cash flows the firm can generate are expected to remain constant through out and they are generated after equal interval of time, this can be treated as a perpetuity.

The present value of a perpetuity is calculated as follows,

Present Value of perpetuity = Cash Flow / r

Present value of perpetuity = 10000 / 0.068

Present value of perpetuity = $147058.8235

So, the value of the firm or worth of the firm is $147058.82 rounded off to 2 decimal places
