Question

A firm's current profits are $400,000. These profits are expected to grow indefinitely at a constant annual rate of 4 percent. If a firm's opportunity cost of funds is 6 percent, determine the value of the firm.

 

Expert Solution
Step 1

To get the value of the firm:

Value of the firm = (firm's current profit)×(1+firm's opportunity cost of funds)÷(firm's opportunity cost of funds-constant annual growth rate)=($400,000)×(1+0.06)÷(0.06-0.04)=$424,000÷0.02=$21,200,000
