Answer

When dividends are paid

 

100 = (5 + P1)/(1 + 0.10)

Therefore, P1 = Rs.105/-.

Value of firm

= Rs.([50,000/-+7,50,000/-/105/-) x 105/-] – 10,00,000/- + 5,00,000/-)/1.10

= Rs.(60,00,000/- - 5,00,000/-)/1.10

= Rs.50,00,000/-.

When dividend is not paid

100 = 1/1.1 x P1

Therefore, P1 = Rs.110/-.

Value of firm

= Rs.([50,000/- +(5,00,000/-/110/-) x 110/-] – 10,00,000/-+5,00,000/-)/1.10

= Rs.(60,00,000/- - 5,00,000/-) / 1.10

= Rs.50,00,000/-

M.M. approach indicates that the value of the firm in both the situations will be the same.
