Answer:

b) $12 million

Explanation:

The new Book Value of the firm at the bigining of next year is $12 million.

In the calulation of Net Pfofit, Interst on loan has already been deducted, so deducting it from the total calculation will be wrong.

hence, only dividend paid will be removed from the addition of the Book Value anf the Net profit.

Closing balance = Opening Book Value + Net Profit - Dividend Paid

Note - The Net Profit is already ne of interest on loan.

Closing balance = $10 + $5 - $3

Closing balance is $12
