Answer:

PV or value of the firm = $147058.8235

Explanation:

To calculate the worth of the firm, we first need to determine the required rate of return of this firm. Using the CAPM equation, we calculate the required rate of return to be,

r = rRF + Beta * (rM - rRF)

Where,

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

r = 0.04 + 0.4 * (0.11 - 0.04)

r = 0.068 or 6.8%

As the firm is expected to generate a constant cash flow forever, it can be treated as a perpetuity. To calculate the value of the firm, we use the present value of perpetuity. The formula for present value of perpetuity is,

PV = Cash flow / r

Where,

  • r is the required rate of return

PV or value of the firm = 10000 / 0.068

PV or value of the firm = $147058.8235

Answer:

Consider the following calculations

Explanation:

Answer:(a) Carrying value of asset: $10,000,000 - $2,500,000 = $7,500,000.

($10,000,000 ÷ 8) x 2 = $2,500,000

Future cash flows $6,300,000

Carrying value $7,500,000

Impairment entry:

Loss on Impairment A/C Dr. $1,900,000

      To Accumulated Depreciation A/C    $ 1,900,000

(7,500,000 - 5,600,000 = 1,900,000)

(b) Depreciation Expense A/C Dr. $ 1,400,000

           To Accumulated Depreciation A/C $ 1,400,000

($5600000/4=$1400000)

(c ) No depreciation is recorded on impaired assets to be disposed of.

Recovery of impairment losses are recorded.

Loss on Impairment A/c Dr. $1,900,000

      To Accumulated Depreciation A/C    $ 1,900,000

12/31/2015 Accumulated Depreciation A/C Dr. $ 300,000

                                          To Recovery of Impairment Loss A/C $ 300,000
