Hi sir, i have watched your tutorial on this topic.
However, i have try one question and got some confusion. The question has asked to calculate using an asset-based valuation, what is the lowest value that Mick should attribute to T Co?
$000
Non-current assets 100
Receivables 40
Total Assets 140Equity
Ordinary shares 20
Reserves 37
Bank loan 83
Total Liabilities 140Notes:
1. Non-current assets consist of computers, fixtures and fittings and motor vehicles. It is estimated that these could be sold for $45,000
but would cost $120,000 to replace.2. If liquidated, only 80% of receivables would be realised and closure costs would amount to $10,000.
3. It has been estimated that the ‘Angry Cats’ name could be sold for $200,000.
The answer given is :
NCA $45,000 + Receivables $32,000 + Patent name $200,000 – Closure cost $10,000
= $267,000I would like to ask why the given answer did not remove bank loan of $83,000 ( as to calculate the asset-based valuation is Total Asset – total Liabilities)
Same goes when calculate the maximum value ( which simply ignore bank loan too)
I hope you can clarify it to me :/
Thank you so much sir for your time 🙂August 29, 2021 at 8:12 am #633325If Mick was taking over responsibility for the bank loan then you would subtract it from the $267,000. However the assumption here is that he is not taking over the responsibility and that therefore T will have to pay it off out of the proceeds of the sale.

However, i’m so sorry sir but how can we assume that he is not taking over the responsibility of that bank loan, because I have try multiple questions before but theres no such question like this (did not need to subtract the bank loan). It such a new knowledge to me 🙂
