Answer:

a. $47.3 billion

Explanation:

The computation of the current value of the firm is as follows;

Value of Equity = FCFE × (1+ g ) ÷ (ke - g)

= $2 billion × (1 + 0.03) ÷ (0.12 - 0.03)

= $22.89 billion

Now  

Current Value of Firm = Market Value of equity + market Value of Debt

= $22.89 billion + $24.44 billion

= $47.3 billion

Hence, the current value of the firm is $47.3 billion

hence, the correct option is A.

Answer – Quitting your job to find another
Quitting your job to find another might not be an option for increasing your present income. As a matter of fact, doing so lead to a reduction of income if a less-paying job is found after quitting the current one, or worse still total lack of income if no job is found after quitting the present job. In simple terms, if you quit your present job, there is no guarantee that you’ll find a better one. A more feasible option would be to start looking for a better job without quitting your old job. Better still, if the options are available, you may request a promotion at your present job or request a merit increase in pay.
