Answer:

Present value of the firm = $ 524,467.50

Explanation:

<em>Using the free cash flow, the value of a firm is the the present value of the free cash discounted at the appropriate cost of capital.</em>

Year                                                         PV

1      62,000× (1.145)^(-1)  =               54,148.47162

2    65,400 × (1.145)^(-2)   =             49,884.63225

3      68,900 ×  (1,145)^(-3)  =            45, 898.95119

4 to infinity ( see working below)    $374,535.44

Workings

Present value from Year 4 to infinity (this will be done in two steps)

Step 1

<em>PV in year 3 =  FCF × (1+g)/(WACC- g)</em>

                      FCF -68,900, g =2%, WACC - 14.5%

                       = ( 68,900 × 1.02(/0.145-0.02)

                    =  $562,224.00

Step 2

<em>PV in year 0 = PV in year 3 × (1+r)^(-3)</em>

                   = $562,224.00 × (1.145^(-3)

                    = $374,535.44

The present value of Allison =

 54,148.47 + 49,884.63 +45,898.95  +374,535.44

= $ 524,467.50

Present value of the firm = $ 524,467.50

zavuch27 [327]

Answer: external cause

Explanation:

Based on the information that's provided in the question, if Kumi gets audited this year, then he is likely to believe that the reason for the audit is due to an external cause, like the tax program that was used in the preparation of his taxes.

In such case, we can infer that the perception of Kumi is being influenced due to self-serving bias.

Blizzard [7]

icang [17]

Answer:

A) NPV= - $428,888.89 B) Company would break Even if g = 5.68%

Explanation:

Hi, we have to bring to present value all the inflows and outflows of cash, this is the formula to use and the math of it.

NPV=-Invesment+\frac{CashFlowYr1}{(return-growth)}

NPV=-1440000+\frac{91000}{(0.12-0.03)} = -428888.89

The question says that "at what constant growth rate would the company just break even..." and well, a NPV=0 is not precisely break even, actually, it means that the company is obtaining exactly what is asking for any investment, but let´s assume that the question was, what should the growth rate be for the company to accept this project?. So we have to solve the first equation for "g", that is:

g=\frac{(Invesment*return-CashFlowYr1)}{Invesment} =\frac{(1440000*0.12-91000)}{1440000} =0.0568

So the constant growth rate has to be at least 5.68% for the company to accept this project (NPV=0)

Best of luck

tia_tia [17]

Answer:

After tax salvage value $1,278,852.8‬

Explanation:

MARCS five years class:

after four years we will have depreicate:

0.2 + 0.32 + 0.192 + 0.1152 = 0,8272‬

(Data from the attached MACRS)

tax basis of the asset:

6,170,000 x ( 1 - 0.8272) = 1.066.176‬

We will be taxed for the difference between the basis and the salvage value:

1,370,000 - 1,066,176 = 303,824‬ taxable gain:

303,824 x 30% = 91,147.2

After tax salvage value:

salvage valeu - income tax expense

1,370,000 - 91,147.2 = 1,278,852.8‬

hodyreva [135]

Answer:

c. 8 percent of the labor force is unemployed.

Explanation:

<em>The Unemployment Rate measures the percentage of the total labor force that is unemployed while actively seeking employment during the previous month</em>. If the unemployment rate is 8 percent, this means 8 percent of the labor force is unemployed. That also means, <u>out of all the people actively seeking employment during the previous month, 8 percent are still unemployed or jobless.</u>
