Answer:

$1,000,000

Explanation:

The fund raised by the company through venture capital is $400,000 in return for 40% holding in the company.

Venture capitalist holds 10,000 shares and it represents 40% of total holdings.

Assume that the total value of firm is x. The venture capitalist will hold 40% of total capital which equals to $400,000. The total value of firm will be

40% * x = 400,000

x = 400,000/40%

x = 400,000/0.4

x = 1,000,000

Hence, the after value of firm will be $1,000,000
