Question

Marko, Inc., is considering the purchase of ABC Co. Marko believes that ABC Co. can generate cash flows of $6,200, $11,200, and $17,400 over the next three years, respectively. After that time, they feel the business will be worthless. Marko has determined that a rate of return of 10 percent is applicable to this potential purchase. What is Marko willing to pay today to buy ABC Co.?

Answer 1

Answer:

$27,965.4393

Explanation:

Given:

Cash flow for first year (C1) = $6,200

Cash flow for second year (C2) = 116,200

Cash flow for third year (C3) = $17,400

Rate of return = 10% = 10/100 = 0.1

Computation of total price :

Total Price = $\frac{C1}{(1+r)^1} +\frac{C2}{(1+r)^2} +\frac{C3}{(1+r)^3}$

$Total\ price = \frac{6,200}{(1+0.1)^1} +\frac{11,200}{(1+0.1)^2} +\frac{17,400}{(1+0.1)^3}\\\\Total\ price = \frac{6,200}{(1.1)^1} +\frac{11,200}{(1.1)^2} +\frac{17,400}{(1.1)^3}\\\\Total\ price = \frac{6,200}{(1.1)} +\frac{11,200}{(1.21)} +\frac{17,400}{(1.331)}\\\\Total\ price = 5,636.36364 + 9256.19835 +13,072.8775\\\\Total\ price = 27,965.4393$

Therefore, Marko Inc. will  pay $27,965.4393
