Answer:

a. $47.3 billion

Explanation:

The computation of the current value of the firm is as follows;

Value of Equity = FCFE × (1+ g ) ÷ (ke - g)

= $2 billion × (1 + 0.03) ÷ (0.12 - 0.03)

= $22.89 billion

Now  

Current Value of Firm = Market Value of equity + market Value of Debt

= $22.89 billion + $24.44 billion

= $47.3 billion

Hence, the current value of the firm is $47.3 billion

hence, the correct option is A.

Answer:

Mentoring Plan.

Explanation:

This is a form of a continuous schooling process that is more of ‘giving advice’, or passing on what your experience was in a particular area or situation.

It is a system of semi structured guidance whereby one person shares their knowledge, skills and experience to assist others to progress in their own lives and careers. Mentors need to be readily accessible and prepared to offer help as the need arises within agreed bounds.

Mentors very often have their own mentors, and in turn their mentees might wish to ‘put something back’ and become mentors themselves - it's a chain for ‘passing on’ good practice so that the benefits can be widely spread.

Last year, Kaylor Equipment had $15,900 of sales, $500 of net new equity, dividend payments of $75, an addition to retained earn
ArbitrLikvidat [17]

Answer:

$1,135.05

Explanation:

Given:

Sales = $15,900

Net new equity = $500

Dividend payments = $75

Retained earnings = $418

Depreciation = $680

Interest expense = $511

Tax rate = 21% = 0.21

Now,

Net income = Retained earnings + Dividend payments

= $418 + $75

= $493

Profit before tax = Net income ÷ ( 1 - tax rate )

= $493 ÷ ( 1 - 0.21 )

= $624.05

Therefore,

Earnings before interest and taxes

= Profit before tax + Interest expense

= $624.05 + $511

= $1,135.05
