    Hi,

    Bento Co – corporate reconstruction

    The net asset valuation is based on assets and current liabilities in year 1. Why was the long-term debt of 50m not deducted?

    However, the DVM valuation method captures cashflows for years 1-4 and dividend growth in perpetuity.

    Surely there’s no comparison between both valuation methods?

    Thanks

    Please tell me which years exam the question is in. I have all the past questions but I cannot remember the name of every question in every exam 🙂

    1. The value of the company is equity + debt (if we wanted the value of the equity then we would subtract the long-term debt).

    2. We would expect the two values to be different. There is no ‘perfect’ way of valuing a business and all we can do in practice is obtain a range of values.
