    Study Notes

    Valuation Approaches

    • Cost Approach: Useful for unique properties or assets with limited market comparables. Determines value based on replacement or reproduction cost, less depreciation. Challenges include accurately estimating depreciation, especially for older assets. Ignores current market conditions and demand.
    • Income Approach: Values assets based on the present value of their expected future cash flows. Uses a discount rate reflecting risk and time value of money. Key metric is the present value of future income.
    • Market Approach: Determines value based on prices of comparable assets. Relies on the principle of substitution (a buyer won't pay more than for a comparable asset). Uses market multiples like Price-to-Earnings (P/E) ratio. Requires readily available comparable data.
    • Discounted Cash Flow (DCF) Analysis: A key method within the income approach. Calculates the present value of future cash flows, considering a discount rate (e.g., Weighted Average Cost of Capital or WACC) and long-term growth rate.

    Valuation Examples

    • Estimating ABC Corp's Market Value: Given earnings of 10millionand2millionsharesoutstanding,andusinganaverageP/Eratiofromcomparablecompanies(A:15x,B:18x,C:17x,whichaverages16.67x),ABCCorp′smarketvalueisapproximately10 million and 2 million shares outstanding, and using an average P/E ratio from comparable companies (A:15x, B:18x, C:17x, which averages 16.67x), ABC Corp's market value is approximately 10millionand2millionsharesoutstanding,andusinganaverageP/Eratiofromcomparablecompanies(A:15x,B:18x,C:17x,whichaverages16.67x),ABCCorp′smarketvalueisapproximately166.7 million.

    • Valuing XYZ Corp using Market Multiples: Using revenue and EBITDA multiples from comparable companies A, B, and C, and XYZ Corp's Revenue of 53millionandEBITDAof53 million and EBITDA of 53millionandEBITDAof10.5 million estimations can be made.

    • Valuing Tech Innovators Inc. using Market Multiples: Using P/E, P/B, and P/S ratios from comparable companies A, B, and C, and Tech Innovators Inc.'s EPS, book value per share, and sales per share, multiple estimations of the company's value can be made.

    • Valuing Fashion Hub Inc. using Market Multiples: Using market capitalization, book value, net income, revenue & shares outstanding of comparables A, B and C, and Fashion Hub inc.'s financial data, estimations can be made.

    • Valuing CodeWave Inc. using DCF: Using projected free cash flows for five years, a long-term growth rate of 4%, and a discount rate of 12%, a present value can be calculated

    Standards of Value

    • Fair Market Value (FMV): Price in an open market between willing buyer and seller, with both having sufficient knowledge and no undue pressure.
    • Fair Value (FV): Used in legal contexts, may differ from FMV by excluding certain discounts (like lack of marketability).
    • Investment Value: Value to a specific buyer, considering their unique needs and strategic benefits. May exceed FMV due to synergies.
    • Liquidation Value: Value realized from a quick sale, typically in distressed situations. Used in bankruptcy or company dissolutions.
