    Kennaugh Co is looking to take over another company, Kewley Co, and so needs to value Kewley Co in order to put together a takeover bid. It has gathered the following information.

    Kewley’s Co’s earnings last year were $460,000, but this was after a deduction for a one off bad debt of $50,000 as well as having paid what the directors of Kennaugh Co believe to be an excessive salary of $250,000 to the managing director. If the takeover proceeds, this managing director will retire to be replaced with an individual from Kennaugh Co at a salary of $140,000. Earnings are otherwise anticipated to grow at a rate of 3.5% and the earnings yield figure for Kewley Co is currently 13%

    Calculate, using earnings yield, a valuation for Kewley Co from the information above?

    Valuation is Earnings/Earnings yield right. But what is all extra figures about? What is it checking on… Do they have one Managing director or smth.. SO CONFUSING…

    Please help sir.

    This is not a past exam question, and I do not have the whole question. I presume you have a printed answer, and I would expect that to explain.
