Answer:
EV / EBITDA Ratio = 10.98
Explanation:
given data
total revenue = $418,300
interest and taxes = $102,600
depreciation = $59,200
tax rate = 30 percent
equity financed = 15,000 shares
book value = $38.03
price-to-book ratio = 3.2
excess cash = $49,300
to find out
firm’s EV/EBITDA ratio
solution
we get EBITDA that will be here as
EBITDA = EBIT + Depreciation .....................1
put here value
EBITDA = $102,600 + $59,200
EBITDA = $161,800
and
Price Book Ratio is = Market Price per share ÷ Book Value per share ...........2
put here value
3.20 = Market Price per share ÷ $38.03
so Market Price per share = $121.696
and
now market Value of Equity will be
Market Value of Equity = Market Price per share × No of shares ..............3
put here value
Market Value of Equity = $121.696 × 15,000
Market Value of Equity = $1,825,440
and
Enterprise Value = Market Value of Equity - Excess Cash .................4
put here value we get
Enterprise Value = $1,825,440 - $49,300
Enterprise Value = $1,776,140
so EV / EBITDA Ratio will be here
EV / EBITDA Ratio = Enterprise Value ÷ EBITDA .......................5
put here value
EV / EBITDA Ratio = [tex]\frac{1,776,140}{161,800 }[/tex]
so
EV / EBITDA Ratio = 10.98
