Respuesta :

Answer:

price = $4335382.48

so invest made as 5m share value more as amount paid

Explanation:

given data

exit value = $1 B

discount rate r = 50 % =  0.5

time t = 10 year

current stock outstanding = 20 M

common stock = 5 M

investment =  $4 M

solution

we get here today value that is express as

total value = [tex]\frac{exit\ value}{(1+r)^t}[/tex]    .....................1

put here value and we get

total value = [tex]\frac{1000000000}{(1+0.5)^{10}}[/tex]

total value = $17341529.92

now we get price per share that is

price per share = [tex]\frac{total\ value}{no\ of\ share}[/tex]

price per share = [tex]\frac{17241529.92}{20000000}[/tex]

price per share = 0.86707649

so price for 5 M share is

price = 0.86707649 × 5 M

price = $4335382.48
