Net Profit 74,000,000 84,000,000 80,000,000 90,000,000 98,000,000
Resale value 170 000 000

What should your maximum offering price be?

Explanation / Answer

So we need to find when the net present value = 0 So -x+74/(1.05)+84/(1.05)^2+80/(1.05)^2+90/1.05^3+98/1.05^4+(98+170)/1.05^5 and set that equal to 0. We get x=587 million. We need 10 million shares, so 58.7= the maximum offer
