Business Valuation

AAugustine6y ago
1. Net Asset method of Business Valuation: Please I want to know if under this method Goodwill or all Intangible Non-Current Assets should be ignored? Reference: CBE Past paper, March/June 2019 sample questions, question 21. 2. I also want to know the similarity and the difference between P/E method of Business Valuation and Earnings Yield method of Business Valuation.

1. It depends whether or not they have a sales value. If the company is being liquidated them internally generated goodwill will certainly not have a sales value. 2. They are the same. The PE ratio is MV/EPS, the earnings yield is EPS/MV as a %. So both methods apply either the PE or the earnings yield to the earnings in order to get the market value.
