    2) Twizzle cowants to acquire showboat.The MD of Twizzle believes showboats future pre tax profits will be $22m in one years time and will grow at a rate of 4%p.a.The cost of equity of listed businesses similar to showboat is estimated at 10%.Twizzle’s management expect to make cost savings of $2m once it is in charge of showboat

    (a) If the EPS is 120 and the dividend is 36, then the amount retained is 120 – 36 = 84.
    b is the proportion of earnings retained.

    (b) You use the dividend valuation formula. MV = (22 + 2) / (0.10 – 0.04) = 400.
    (Does not your book show the workings?)

    Hi..
    Can some one help me on this plz.
    why is the working capital calculation different while calculating NPV of a project.
    this is in reference with BPP Revision kit Q43 and Q44.

    You must start a new thread when you are asking about something different.

    I assume you are asking about the working capital recovery?

    If so, the Q 43 specifically says to ignore the recovery, where as Q 44 does not!
