Answer 1

Answer:

$926,073

Explanation:

Enterprise value=market capitalization+value of debt-cash

value of the firm=price-earnings ratio=11.8

earnings=net income

net income=profit margin*sales

net income=$697,000*6.8%=$47,396

11.8=market capitalization/$47,396

market capitalzation=11.8*$47,396=$559,272.80  

enterprise value=$559,272.80+$408,000-$41,200=$ 926,072.80  (approx  $926,073)
