Answer:
The value of the firm if we ignore taxes would be $8.96 million.
Explanation:
Given information -
Thompson number of outstanding shares - 280,000
Price of 75,000 outstanding shares - $2.4 million
Note - here since Thompson is repurchasing its 75,000 outstanding shares, the interest of 5.5 % doesn't have to be paid yet, therefore this will not be taken in to account when taking out the value of the firm.
Formula for taking out value of firm =
Price for repurchasing of shares x Total number of outstanding share /
Shares repurchased
= $2.4 million x 280,000 / 75,000
= $8.96 million
