You own a business which generates $200,000 in profit per year. someone has offered to buy it from you. based on a 5 year projection and belief that you could earn 9% annually if you had the money today, how much do you believe the business is worth today?

a. $700,000.00
b. $777, 930.25
c. $440,000.00
d. $536, 522.43

option (b) $777,930.25

Explanation:

Data provided in the question:

Profit per year = $200,000

Time = 5 years

Return, r = 9% = 0.09

Now,

Worth of business = ∑ (Cash flow × Present value factor)

also,

Present value factor = (1 + r )⁻ⁿ

here,

n is the year of cash flow

Thus,

Year        Cash Flows   Present value factor   Present value of cash flow

0                      0                        1                                   0

1                    200000             0.917                        $183,486.24

2                   200000             0.842                       $168,336

3                   200000             0.772                       $154,436.70

4                   200000             0.708                       $141,685.04

5                   200000             0.65                         $129,986.28

Hence,

The business worth today is

= $183,486.24  + $168,336  + $154,436.70 + $141,685.04  + $129,986.28

= $777,930.25

Hence,

The answer is option (b) $777,930.25

there is no possible way mgk stands a chance with the greatest white rapper of all time. eminem killshots had more bars than rap devil and the reason mgk is doing all this is cause he not getting attention anymore til the release of rap devil and the disses he is putting on eminem. now rap devil was more fire than killshot so mgk might won the battle with rap devil but eminem won the war with killshot.
