    The value of the firm if we ignore taxes would be $8.96 million.

    Explanation:

    Given information -

    Thompson number of outstanding shares - 280,000

    Price of 75,000 outstanding shares - $2.4 million

    Note - here since Thompson is repurchasing its 75,000 outstanding shares, the interest of 5.5 % doesn't have to be paid yet, therefore this will not be taken in to account when taking out the value of the firm.

    Formula for taking out value of firm =

    Price for repurchasing of shares x Total number of outstanding share /

    Shares repurchased

    = $2.4 million x 280,000 / 75,000

    = $8.96 million
