问题如下:
Company M is investing $150 in a project which will be depreciated straight-line to zero over two years. The project will generate earnings before interest and taxes of $75 annually. The weighted average cost of capital of the company and required rate of return of the project are both 10%. The company is in the 25% tax bracket. What’s the economic income in the second year?
选项:
A.$11.93
B.$17.56
C.$22.78
解释:
A is correct.
考点:Other Valuation Models
解析:根据公式EI2 = CF2 + (PV2 - PV1),其中PV1 = =119.32 PV2 = 0
EI2 = 131.25 + (0 - 119.32) = $11.93
做完这一题后让我对EI的“经济实质”概念又模糊了……
记得在课堂上,李老师解释”EL”的经济实质的时候,举了个“人工作与实现自我价值”的例子,大意就是,站在某个时间点往后看,既然拿走了前面的一部分收益,那么EI的实质就是今后你这个人所创造价值的折现,反正差不多这么个意思。
单从这个题目来看,初始投资150m,两年折完。每年息税前的收入才75m,两年结束……这个项目还赚啥……计算完之后EL也就是“经济学收益”还是正的……我已经彻底晕了……
