Question

Marko, Inc., is considering the purchase of ABC Co. Marko believes that ABC Co. can generate cash flows of $4,800, $9,800, and $16,000 over the next three years, respectively. After that time, they feel the business will be worthless. Marko has determined that a rate of return of 11 percent is applicable to this potential purchase. What is Marko willing to pay today to buy ABC Co.?

Answer 1

Answer:

$23,977.29

Explanation:

In order to determine how much Marko would be willing to pay, we have to calculate the present value of the ABC Co.

Present value is the sum of discounted cash flows

Present value can be calculated using a financial calculator:

Cash flow in year 1 =$4,800

Cash flow in year 2 = $9,800

Cash flow in year 3 = $16,000

I = 11%

Present value = $23,977.29

To find the PV using a financial calacutor:

1. Input the cash flow values by pressing the CF button. After inputting the value, press enter and the arrow facing a downward direction.

2. After inputting all the cash flows, press the NPV button, input the value for I, press enter and the arrow facing a downward direction.

3. Press compute
