Answer 1

The total value of this firm if you ignore taxes is $16 million.

Step-by-step explanation:

Considering that the company has decided to borrow $1 million to buy out the shares of a deceased stockholder who holds 2,500 shares, hence to calculate the total value of the firm we have to first make the following calculation:

$1,000,000÷2,500= 400

Hence, Total value of the firm= 400×40,000 shares of stock outstanding

= $16 million is the total value of this firm if you ignore taxes.
