    A similar size competitor company has a price/earnings ratio of 12.5 times.

    This competitor believes that if Bluebell Co were liquidated, property, plant and equipment
    would only realise $600m, while 10% of trade receivables would be irrecoverable and
    inventory would be sold at $30m less than its book value.
    Separately, Bluebell Co is considering the acquisition of Dandelion Co, an unlisted company
    which is a supplier of Bluebell Co.

    What is the value of Bluebell Co on a net realisable value basis?
    A $140.8 million
    B $470.8 million
    C $365.8 million
    D $1,027.8 million

    I got the option B as the answer which is wrong. Can you show me the calculations .
