Answer:
option (d) $500
Explanation:
Data provided in the question:
Reynolds Construction's value of operations = $750 million
short-term investments = $50 million
accounts payable = $100 million
notes payable = $100 million
long-term debt = $200 million
common stock = $40 million
retained earnings = $160 million
Now,
Firm value of equity
= Free cash flow value + Investments - Debt - Notes payable
= $750 million + $50 million - $200 million - $100 million
= $500 million
Hence,
the correct answer is option (d) $500

An LLC is usually better if there are several partners, but in this case if they can avoid the cost of opening a LLC it would be better for them.
