Question

The Metallica Heavy Metal Mining (MHMM) Corporation wants to diversify its operations. Some recent financial information for the company is shown here:


   

MHMM is considering an investment that has the same PE ratio as the firm. The cost of the investment is $700,000, and it will be financed with a new equity issue. (Do not round intermediate calculations.)

   

The ROE on the investment would have to be  percent (Round your answer to 2 decimal places (e.g., 32.16).) if we wanted the price after the offering to be $70 per share (assume the PE ratio remains constant), and the NPV of the investment would be $ (Leave no cells blank - be certain to enter "0" wherever required.). Accounting dilution (Click to select)doesdoes not occur in this case. Market value dilution (Click to select)doesdoes not occur in this case.

I have the answer for the ROE, I only need the answer for NPV.

ROE is 44.18.

We wanted the price after the offering to be $70 per share (assuming the PE ratio remains constant). So total share issued will be ($ 700,000/ $70) 10,000 equity shares.

Now here market value dilution does not occur. So market value of investment will be $ 700,000 (10,000 equity shares will be at Rs. 70 per share).

NPV = Market value of investment - Cost of investment

        = $700,000 - $ 700,000

        = NIL

Answer : Net present value of investment is NIL.
