Answer:
a) Book value of Mercadolibre = Assets-Liabilities =96,236,000,000 – 53,987,120,000 = 42,248,880,000
b) Revenues of 2019 = 25,458,900,000*1.3 = 33,096,570,000
Net income = 33,096,570,000*0.185 = 6,122,865,450
Residual income(RI 1) is defined as net income generated inexcess of minimum rate of return
=6,122,865,450- 42,248,880,000*0.1365 = 355,893,330

| 48114585101 | 43025541000 | 7959725085 | 334308454 | 55740001733 | 1392084219 |
