Sales income and costs occur at year-end. Revenues will rise at a real rate of 1.8 percent annually, while real costs will rise at a real rate of 1.1 percent annually. The real discount rate is 7 percent. The corporate tax rate is 25 percent. What is the company worth today?

Answer 1

Answer:

$39,345,664.93

Explanation:

The computation of the company worth today is as follows:

Present value of revenues after tax is

= $3,700,000 × 1.46 × (1 - 0.25) ÷ (0.07 - 0.018)

= $77,913,461.54

And, Present value of costs after tax is

= $3,700,000 × 0.82 × (1 -0.25) ÷ (0.07-0.011)

= $38,567,796.61

So, the company worth today is

=  $77,913,461.54 - $38,567,796.61

= $39,345,664.93
