Question

Marko, Inc., is considering the purchase of ABC Co. Marko believes that ABC Co. can generate cash flows of $6,100, $11,100, and $17,300 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 15 percent is applicable to this potential purchase. What is Marko willing to pay today to buy ABC Co.

Answer 1

Total PV= $25,072.57

Step-by-step explanation:

Giving the following information:

Cash flows:

Cf1= $6,100

Cf2= $11,100

Cf3= $17,300

Discount rate= 15%

To calculate the present value, we need to use the following formula on each cash flow:

PV= Cf / (1+i)^n

PV1= 6,100 / 1.15= 5,304.35

PV2= 11,100 / 1.15^2= 8,393.19

PV3= 17,300 / 1.15^3= 11,375.03

Total PV= $25,072.57
