Bento Co

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.
