Complete question: Tax rate is 35%

Answer:

3250000

Explanation:

Tax income = 300000

Tax rate = 35%

Growth = 2%

Risk free rate = 4%

Expected market return= 9%

Beta = 0.8

We solve for the expected return on assets

= 4% + (9%-4%)x0.8

= 0.04+0.05*0.8

= 0.04 + 0.04

= 0.08

= 8% return on assets

The maximum price to pay

300000*(1-0.35)/(8%-2%)

= 300000 * 0.65/0.06

= 300000x10.8333333333

= 3,250,000
