You cannot compute for the capital in excess of par since you don’t have the number of shares but let us assume there are 100,000 shares.
If the Company sell 100,000 shares of its common stock for $2 per share, and the par value of each share is $5, then the amount of the capital in excess of par is 100,000 shares x $3/share, = 300,000 and is recorded:
Cash 500,000
Common stock ($2 x 100000) 200000
Additional Paid-In Capital($3 x 100000) 300000
Answer:
= $52.78 per share
Explanation:
<em>The value of a business can be determined using the free cash flow model. According to this model, the value of a firm is is the present value of its free cash flow discounted at the weigthed average cost of capital (WACC.)</em>
<em>The value of equity is the value of firm less value of other instruments (e.g debt and preferred stocks)</em>
<em>Value of equity = Value of the entire firm - Value of debt </em>
We can work out the the value per share using the steps below:
<em>Step 1</em>
<em>Calculate the total value of the firm</em>
Value of firm = 27.50/(0.1-0.07)
= $916.66 million
<em>Step 2</em>
<em>Calculate the value of equity</em>
<em>Value of equity = Value of the entire firm - Value of debt</em>
= $916.66 million - $125.0 million
=791.666 million
<em>Step 3</em>
<em>Calculate the value per share</em>
Value per share = Value of equity/ units of common stock
=$791.666 million/15 million units
= $52.78 per share
I believe the answer is C
