    Hello,

    – A company receives a perpetuity of $20,000 per annum in arrears, and pays 30% corporation tax 12 months
    after the end of the year to which the cash flows relate.
    At a cost of capital of 10%, what is the after tax present value of the perpetuity?
    A $140,000
    B $145,454
    C $144,000
    D $127,274

    1. The answer is B
    2.Could you please explain how to calculate the PV of the corporation tax?

    The PV of the perpetuity before tax is 20,000/0.1 = 200,000.

    The PV of the tax outflows is therefore 30% x 200,000 x 1/1.10 (to discount for one extra year because the tax is one year later).

    20000/.1 – ((6000/.1)/1.1)

    bazzy: Please don’t answer in this forum because it is Ask the Tutor and you are not the tutor (but please do help people in the other Paper FM forum) 🙂

    What you have written is the same as my reply.
