Part-1 (Theory)

Question 1.
Tender Ltd. has earned a net profit of ₹ 15 lacs after tax at 30%. Interest cost charged by financial institutions was ₹ 10 lacs. The invested capital is ₹ 95 lacs of which 55% is debt. The company maintains a weighted average cost of capital of 13%. You are required to:
(a) Compute the operating income.
(b) Compute the Economic Value Added (EVA).
(c) Tender Ltd. has 6 lacs equity shares outstanding. How much dividend can the company pay before the value of the entity starts declining₹ [May 2011] [8 Marks]
Answer:
(a) Computation of Operating Income:
Profit before Tax(EBT) = ₹ 15 lac/(1 – 0.30)
= ₹ 21,42,857
Operating Income (EBT) = EBT + Interest
= ₹ 21,42,857 + ₹ 10,00,000
= ₹ 31,42,857

(b) Computation of Economic Value Added (EVA):
Net Operating Profit after tax = EBIT (1 – tax rate)
(NOPAT) = ₹ 31,42,857(1 – 30) = ₹ 22,00,000
EVA = NOPAT – (WACC × Invested Capital)
= ₹ 22,00,000 – (13% of ₹ 95,00,000)
= ₹ 9,65,000

(c) Maximum Dividend without effecting the value of business:
EVA Dividend = \(\frac{\text { Rs. } 9,65,000}{6,00,000}\) = ₹ 1.6083 Per share

Question 2.
RST Ltd.’s current financial year’s income statement reported its net income as Rs. 25,00,000. The applicable corporate income tax rate is 30%.
Following is the capital structure of RST Ltd. at the end of current financial year:

Debt (11% Coupon rate ) ₹ 40 lakhs
Equity (Share Capital + Reserves & Surplus) ₹ 125 lakhs
Total Invested Capital ₹ 165 lakhs

Following data is given to estimate cost of equity capital:

Beta of RST Ltd. 1.36
Risk free rate i.e. current yield on Govt, bonds 8.5%
Average market risk premium 9%

(i.e. excess of return on market portfolio over risk-free rate)
Required:
(i) Estimate Weighted Average Cost of Capital (WACC) of RST Ltd.; and
(ii) Estimate Economic Value Added (EVA) of RST Ltd. [May 2014] [4 + 4 = 8 Marks]
Answer:
(i) Estimation Weighted Average Cost of Capital (WACC):
Cost of Equity as per CAPM (Ke) = Rf + β × Market Risk Premium
= 8.5% + 1.36 × 9%
= 8.5% + 12.24% = 20.74%
Cost of Debt (kd) = 11% (1 – 0.30) = 7.70%
WACC(k0) = \(\left[k_e \times \frac{E}{E+D}\right]+\left[k_d \times \frac{D}{E+D}\right]\)
= \(\left[20.74 \times \frac{125}{165}\right]+\left[7.70 \times \frac{40}{165}\right]\)
= 15.71 + 1.87 = 17.58%

(ii) Estimation of Economic Value Added (EVA)
Profit before Tax (EBT) = ₹ 25 lac/(1 – 0.30)
= ₹ 35,71,429
Operating Income (EBIT) = EBT + Interest
= ₹ 35,71,429 + ₹ 4,40,000
= ₹ 40,11,429
Net Operating Profit after tax (NOPAT) = EBIT (1 – tax rate)
(NOPAT) = ₹ 40,11,429 (1 – 30)
= ₹ 28,08,000
Economic Value Added (EVA) = NOPAT – (WACC × Invested Capital)
= ₹ 28,08,000 – (17.58% of ₹ 165 Lakhs)
= ₹ 28,08,000 – ₹ 29,00,700
= ₹ 92,700
There is depletion of value rather than value addition.

Question 3.
Delta Ltd.’s current financial year’s income statement reports its net income as ₹ 15,00,000. Delta’s marginal tax rate is 40% and its interest expense for the year was ₹ 15,00,000. The company has ₹ 1,00,00,000 of invested capital, of which 60% is debt. In additional, Delta Ltd. tries to maintain a Weighted Average Cost of Capital (WACC) of 12.6%.
(i) Compute the operating income or EBIT earned by Delta Ltd. in the cur-
(ii) What is Delta Ltd.’s Economic Value Added (EVA) for the current year₹
(iii) Delta Ltd. has 2,50,000 equity shares outstanding. According to the EVA
computed by you in (ii), how much can Delta Ltd. pay dividend per share before the value of the company would start to decrease ₹ If Delta does not pay any dividends, what would you expect to happen to the value of the company₹ [Nov. 2010] [8 Marks]
Answer:
(a) Computation of Operating Income:
Profit before Tax (EBT) i.e. Taxable Income = ₹ 15 lac/(1 – 0.40)
= ₹ 25,00,000
Operating Income (EBIT) = EBT + Interest
= ₹ 25,00,000 + ₹ 15,00,000
= ₹ 40,00,000

(b) Computation of Economic Value Added (EVA):
Net Operating Profit after tax (NOPAT) = EBIT (1 – tax rate)
= ₹ 40,00,000 (1 – 40)
= ₹ 24,00,000
EVA = NOPAT – (WACC × Invested Capital)
= ₹ 24,00,000 – (.126 × ₹ 100,00,000)
= ₹ 24,00,000-₹ 12,60,000
= ₹ 11,40,000

(c) Max. Dividend without effecting the value of business:
EVA Dividend = \(\frac{\text { Rs. } 11,40,000}{2,50,000 \text { Shares }}\) = ₹ 4.56 Per share.
When Delta Ltd. does not pay a dividend, we would expect the value of the firm to increase because it will achieve higher growth, therefore, a higher level of EBIT. If EBIT is higher, the value of the firm will increase provided all other variables are constant.

Question 4.
The following information is given for 3 companies that are identical except for their capital structure:
Corporate Valuation – CA Final SFM Study Material 1
The tax rate is uniform 35% in all cases.
(a) Compute the Weighted average cost of capital for each company.
(b) Compute the Economic Value Added (EVA) for each company.
(c) Based on the EVA, which company would be considered for best invest-ment? Given reasons.
(d) If the industry PE ratio is 11 times, estimate the price for the share of each company.
(e) Calculate the estimated market capitalization for each of the Companies. [May 2010] [12 Marks]
Answer:
(a) Computation of cost of debt
Post tax Cost of Debt = Pre-tax Cost × (1 – tax rate)
Orange = 16% (1 – .35) = 10.4%
Grape = 13% (1 – .35) = 8.45%
Apple = 15% (1 – .35) = 9.75%
Computation of WACC
Orange = (10.4% × 0.8) + (2696 × 0.2) = 13.52%
Grape := (8.45% × 0.5) + (22% × 0.5) = 15.225%
Apple = (9.75% × 0.2) + (20% × 0.8) = 17.95%

(b) Computation of EVA

Orange Grape Apple
EBIT 25,000 25,000 25,000
Tax @ 35% 8,750 8,750 8,750
NOPAT (A) 16,250 16,250 16,250
Invested Capital 1,00,000 1,00,000 1,00,000
WACC 13.52% 15.225% 17.95%
Cost of Capital (B) 13,520 15,225 17,950
EVA (A) – (B) 2,730 1,025 -1,700

(c) Orange would be considered as the best investment: since the EVA of the company is highest and its weighted average cost of capital is the lowest.

(d) Estimated Price of each company shares on the basis of P/E Ratio
Corporate Valuation – CA Final SFM Study Material 2
Since the three entities have different capital structures they would be exposed to different degrees of financial risk. The PE ratio should therefore be adjusted for the risk factor. In the absence of adequate information, this aspect is ignored.

Orange (₹) Grape (₹) Apple (₹)
Estimated Share Price (₹) 16.17 16.368 16.445
No. of shares 6,100 8,300 10,000
Estimated Market Capitalisation (₹) 98,637 1,35,854 1,64,450

Question 5.
With the help of the following information of Jatayu Limited compute the Economic Value Added:

Capital Structure Equity capital Rs. 160 Lakhs
Reserves and Surplus Rs. 140 lakhs
10% Debentures Rs. 400 lakhs
Cost of equity 14%
Financial Leverage 1.5 times
Income Tax Rate 30%

[Nov. 2012} [4 Marks]
Answer:
Step 1: Calculation of PBIT using Financial Leverage
Financial Leverage = PBIT/PBT
1.5 = PBIT/(PBIT – Interest)
1.5 = PBIT/(PBIT – 40)
1.5 (PBIT – 40) = PBIT
1.5 PBIT – 60 = PBIT
1.5 PBIT – PBIT = 60
0.5 PBIT = 60
Or PBIT = \(\frac{60}{0.5}\) = Rs. 120 lakhs

Step 2: Calculation of NOPAT and WACC
NOPAT = PBIT – Tax = ₹ 120 lakhs (1 – 0.30) = Rs. 84 lakhs.
Weighted Average Cost of Capital (WACC)
= 14% (300/700) + ( 1 – 0.30) × (10%) × (400/700) = 10%

Step 3: Determination of EVA
EVA = NOPAT – (WACC Total Capital)
EVA = Rs. 84 lakhs – 0.10 Rs. 700 lakhs
EVA = Rs. 14 lakhs

Question 6.
Calculate economic value added (EVA) with the help of the following information of Hypothetical Limited:

Financial leverage 1.4 times
Capital structure Equity Capital Rs.170 lakhs
Reserves and surplus Rs. 130 lakhs
10% Debentures Rs. 400 lakhs
Cost of Equity 17.5%
Income Tax Rate 30%

[Nov. 2004] [6 Marks]
Answer:
Step 1: Calculation of PBIT using Financial Leverage Financial Leverage = PBIT/PBT
1.4 = PBIT/(PBIT – Interest)
1.4 = PBIT/(PBIT – 40)
1.4 (PBIT – 40) = PBIT
1.4 PBIT – 56 = PBIT
1.4 PBIT – PBIT = 56
0.4 PBIT = 56
PBIT = \(\frac{56}{0.4}\) = Rs. 140 lakhs 0.4

Step 2: Calculation of NOPAT and WACC
NOPAT = PBIT – Tax = Rs. 140 lakhs (1 – 0.30) = Rs. 98 lakhs.
Weighted average cost of capital (WACC) = 17.5% × (300/700) + (1 – 0.30) × (1096) × (400/700)
= 11.5%

Step 3: Determination of EVA
EVA = NOPAT – (WACC Total Capital)
= Rs. 98 lakhs – 0.115 × Rs. 700 lakhs
= Rs. 17.5 lakhs

Bond portfolio generates a return of 12 per cent per annum. The stock of the company moves in tandem with the market. Calculate Economic Value added of the company. [Practice Question]
Answer:
(i) Estimated Weighted Average Cost of Capital (WACC):
Cost of Equity as per CAPM (Ke) = 12%
Cost of Debt (Kd) = 10%
WACC (k0) = \(\left[k_e \times \frac{E}{E+D}\right]+\left[k_d \times \frac{D}{E+D}\right]\)
= \(\left[12 \times \frac{300}{700}\right]+\left[10 \times \frac{400}{700}\right]\)
= 5.14% + 5.71% = 10.85%

(ii) Calculation of Total Investments:

Amount (Rs. Crore)
Net Worth 200.00
Long Term Debts 400.00
Patent Rights 100.00
Total 700.00

(iii) Calculation of Economic Value Added (EVA):
Net Operating Profit after tax = Rs. 84 Crores
(NOPAT)
WACC = 10.85%
Invested Capital = Rs. 700 Crores
Economic Val- (10.85% of Rs. 700 Cr.)
= Rs. 8.05 Crore

Other information:
1. Cost of debts is 15%.
2. Cost of equity (i.e. shareholders expected returns) is 12%.
3. Tax rate is 30%.
4. Bad Debts provision of Rs. 40 lakhs is included in indirect Expenses and Rs. 40 lakhs reduced from receivables in current assets. [May 2019][5 Marks]
Answer:
EVA = NOPAT – (Invested Capital × WACC)
NOPAT = EBIT – Tax + Non-Cash Expenses
= 800 lakhs – 231 lakhs + 40 lakhs
= Rs. 609 lakh
(OR)
Taxable Income + Interest + Non-cash Expenses
= 539 + 30 + 40 = Rs. 609 lakh
Invested Capital = 1000 + 600 + 200
= 1800 1800 + 40 (Non-cash expenses)
= Rs. 1840 lakhs
WACC = \(\frac{1600}{1800}\) × 12% + \(\frac{200}{1800}\) × 15% (1-0.3)
= 10.67% + 1.17% = 11.84%
Now, EVA = 609 – (1840 × 11.84%)
= 609 – 217.86
= Rs. 391.14 lakhs
(OR)
WACC = \(\frac{1000}{1200}\) × 12% + \(\frac{200}{1200}\) × 15% (1 – 0.3)
= 10.00% + 1.75% = 11.75%
Now, EVA = 609 – (1840 × 11.75%)
= 609 – 216.20
= Rs. 392.80 lakhs

(i) Profit before tax for the current year ₹ 64 lakhs includes ₹ 4 lakhs extraordinary income and ₹ 1 lakh income from investments of surplus funds; such surplus funds are unlikely to recur.
(ii) In subsequent years, additional advertisement expenses of ₹ 5 lakhs are expected to be incurred each year.
(iii) Market value of Land and Building and Plant and Machinery have been ascertained at ₹ 96 lakhs and ₹ 100 lakhs respectively. This will entail additional depreciation of ₹ 6 lakhs each year.
(iv) Effective Income-tax rate is 30%.
(v) The capitalization rate applicable to similar business is 15%. [May 2008] [16 Marks]
Answer:
(a) Computation of value per share on the basis of Net Assets
Corporate Valuation – CA Final SFM Study Material 4
Number of shares = \(\frac{\text { Rs. } 1,00,00,000}{10}\) = 10 00,000 shares or 10 lakhs shares
Value per share = \(\frac{\text { Rs. } 216 \text { Lakhs }}{10 \text { Lakhs }}\) = ₹ 21.6

(b)Computation of value per share on the basis of Profit-earning Capacity Method
Corporate Valuation – CA Final SFM Study Material 5
Capitalised value of profits = \(\frac{\text { FMP }(\text { after taxes) }}{\text { Rate of capitalisation }}\) = \(\frac{\text { Rs. } 33.60 \text { Lakhs }}{0.15}\)
= Rs. 224 Lakhs
Value of business = ₹ 224 Lakhs
Value per share = \(\frac{\text { Value of Business }}{\text { No. of Shares }}\) = \(\frac{R s .224 \text { Lakhs }}{10 \text { Lakhs Shares }}\) = ₹ 22.4

(c) Computation of value per share on the basis of Fair Price Method
Fair Price = \(\frac{\text { Value as per Net Assets Method }+ \text { Value as per Profit earning capacity method }}{2}\)
= \(\frac{\text { Rs. } 21.6+\text { Rs. } 22 \cdot 4}{2}\) = \(\frac{\text { Rs. } 44}{2}\) = ₹ 22

Assume gearing level of KLM to be the same as for ABC and a debt beta of zero.
You are required to calculate:
(a) Appropriate cost of equity for KLM based on the data available for the proxy entity.
(b) A range of values for KLM both before and after any potential synergistic benefits to XYZ of the acquisition. [May 2010][8 Marks]
Answer:
(a) β ungeared for the proxy company = (1.1 × 4)/[4 + (1 – 0.3) ] = 0.9362
0.9362 = (β equity geared × 3/[3 + (1 – 0.3)]
P Equity geared = 1.1546
Cost of equity = 0.04 + 1.1546 × (0.1 – 0.04) = 10.9396

(b) P/E valuation (Based on earning of Rs. 10 Crore)

Using proxy Entity’s P/E Using XYZ’s P/E
Pre synergistic value 12 × Rs. 10 Crore 10 × Rs. 10 Crore
= Rs. 120 Crore = Rs. 100 Crore
Post synergistic value 12 × Rs. 10 Crore × 1.1 10 × Rs. 10 Crore × 1.1
= Rs. 132 Crore = Rs. 110 Crore

Dividend valuation model

Based on 50% payout Based on 40% payout
Pre synergistic value \(\frac{0.5 \times 10 \times 1.07}{0.1093-0.07}\) \(\frac{0.4 \times 10 \times 1.07}{0.1093-0.07}\)
= Rs. 136.13 Crore = Rs. 108.91 Crore
Post synergistic value \(\frac{0.5 \times 10 \times 1.1 \times 1.07}{0.1093-0.07}\) \(\frac{0.4 \times 10 \times 1.1 \times 1.07}{0.1093-0.07}\)
= Rs. 149.75 Crore = Rs. 119.79 Crore

Market Price
Although no information is available about the value of KLM, it may be possible to calculate a market value based on proportion of earnings of ABC that is generated by KLM.
Market value of ABC = 80 Lakh Shares × Rs. 375 = Rs. 300 Crore
Post Tax earnings of ABC= Rs. 300/13 = Rs. 23.08 Crore.
If market value of ABC is allocated to KLM in the proportion of relative earning of KLM to that of ABC, KLM would have a market value of Rs. 300 crore × [10/23.08] = Rs. 130 Crore.
KLM’s Post Tax earning = Rs. 10 Crore.
If ABC’s P/E ratio is applied to it, the market value of KLM becomes Rs. 10 Crore × 13 = Rs. 130 Crore.
Therefore, it assumes that KLM has the same P/E ratio as that of ABC.

Question 18.
Calculate the value of share from the following information:

Profit of the company (After Tax) ₹ 290 crores
Equity capital of company ₹ 1,300 crores
Par value of share ₹ 40 each
Debt ratio of company 27%
Long run growth rate of the company 8%
Beta 0.1
Risk free Interest rate 8.7%
Market return 10.3%
Capital expenditure per share ₹ 47
Depreciation per share ₹ 39
Change in Working capital ₹ 3.45 per share

Answer:
No. of Shares = Equity Capital (in Rs.) ÷ Par Value per share
= ₹ 1,300 crores ÷ ₹ 40 each = 32.5 Crores shares
EPS = \(\frac{\text { PAT }}{\text { No. of shares }}\) = \(\frac{\text { Rs. } 290}{32.5}\) = ₹ 8.923
FCFE (Per Share) = Net income – [(1 – b) (CAPEX – Dep.) + (1 – b) (∆ WC)]
= 8.923 – ((1 – 0.27) (47 – 39) – (1 – 027) (3.45)] = 0.5645
Cost of Equity = Rf + β (Rm – Rf) = 8.7 + 0.1 (10.3 – 8.7) = 8.8%
Po = \(\frac{{FCFE}(1+g)}{K_e-\mathrm{g}}=\frac{0.5645(1.08)}{0.0886-.08}=\frac{0.60966}{0.0086}\) = Rs. 70.89

Debt ratio of company 27%
Long run growth rate of the company 8%
Beta 0.1
Risk free Interest rate 8.7%
Market return 10.3%
Capital expenditure per share ₹ 47
Depreciation per share ₹ 39
Change in Working capital ₹ 3.45 per share

[May 2016] [5 Marks]
Answer:
No. of Shares = Equity Capital (in Rs.) ÷ Par Value per share
= ₹ 1,200 crores ÷ ₹ 40 each = 30 Crores shares
EPS = \(\frac{\text { PAT }}{\text { No. of shares }}\) = \(\frac{\text { Rs. } 300}{30}\) = ₹ 10 per share
FCFE (Per share) = Net income – [(1 – b) (CAPEX – Dep.) + (1 – b) (∆WC)]
= 10 – [(1 – 0.25) (48 – 40) + (1 – 0.25) (4)] = 1.0
Cost of Equity = Rf + β(Rm – Rf) = 8.70 + 0.1 (10.30 – 8.70) = 8.86%
Po = \(\frac{\mathrm{FCFE}(1+\mathrm{g})}{\mathrm{K}_e-\mathrm{g}}=\frac{1.00(1.08)}{0.0886-.08}=\frac{1.08}{0.0086}\) = Rs. 125.58

Question 20.
Tirupti Co. Ltd. promoted by a Multinational group “INTERNATIONAL INC” is listed on stock exchange holding 84% i.e. 63 lakhs shares.
Profit after Tax is ₹ 4.80 crores.
Free Float Market Capitalization is ₹ 19.20 crores.
As per the SEBI guidelines promoters have to restrict their holding to 75% to avoid delisting from the stock exchange. Board of Directors has decided not to delist the share but to comply with the SEBI guidelines by issuing Bonus shares to minority shareholders while maintaining the same P/E ratio.
Calculate
(i) P/E Ratio
(ii) Bonus Ratio
(iii) Market price of share before and after the issue of bonus shares
(iv) Free Float Market capitalization of the company after the bonus shares. [Nov. 2013] [8 Marks]
Answer:
(i) P/E Ratio:

% of holding No. of Shares
Promoter’s Holding 84% 63 Lacs
Minority Holding 16% 12 Lacs
Total Shares 100% 75 Lacs

Free Float Market Capitalization = ₹ 19.20 crores
Minority Holding = 12 Lacs Shares or 0.12 crores shares
Hence, Market price = \(\frac{\text { Rs. } 19.20 \text { crores }}{0.12 \text { Crores }}\) = ₹ 160 per share
EPS = PAT E No. of shares = ₹ 4.80 crores ÷ 75 lacs = ₹ 6.40 per share
P/E Ratio = Market Price ÷ EPS = ₹ 160 ÷ ₹ 6.40 = 25 times

Corporate Valuation – CA Final SFM Study Material

(ii) No. of Bonus Shares to be issued:
Promoters holding = 84% ie. 63 lacs shares
As per the SEBI guidelines promoters have to restrict their holding to 75%. It means the existing 63 lacs shares held by the promoters shall now constitute 75% of the total number of shares post bonus issue.
Therefore, the Post-Bonus number of shares shall be:
Total number of shares = \(\frac{63 \text { lacs }}{75 \%}\) = 84 lacs
Shares to be held by Minority = Total shares – shares held by promoters
= 84 lacs – 63 lacs = 21 lacs
Existing shares held by Minority = 12 lacs
Bonus shares issued to Minority = 21 lacs – 12 lacs = 9 lacs
Bonus Ratio = 3 shares for every 4 shares held (but these will be issued to minority shareholders only).

(iii) Market price before & after Bonus:

Market Price Before Bonus
₹ 160 per share [as per workings given in (i) above]
Market Price After Bonus
PAT (Same as pre-bonus) (A) ₹ 4.80 crores
No. of shares (B) 84 lacs
EPS (After bonus) (A) ÷ (B) ₹ 5.71 per share
P/E Ratio 25 times
Market Price (After bonus) = EPS × P/E = 5.71 × 25 142.75

(iv) Free Float Capitalization
= Market Price (After bonus) Shares held by minority
= ₹ 142.75 × 21 lacs = ₹ 29.9775 crores

What is the value of the firm? [May 2010(M)] [10 Marks]
Answer:
High growth phase:
Ke = 0.10 + 1.15 × 0.06 = 0.169 or 16.9%.
Kd = 0.13 × (1 – 03) = 0.091 or 9.1%.
Cost of capital = 0.5 × 0.169 + 0.5 × 0.091 = 0.13 or 13%.
Stable growth phase:
Ke = 0.09 + 1.0 × 0.05 = 0.14 or 14%.
Kd = 0.1286 × (1 – 0.3) = 0.09 or 9%.
Cost of capital = 0.6 × 0.14 + 0.4 × 0.09 = 0.12 or 12%.

Answer:
(i) Calculation of Present Value of Cash flows upto 5 years.
Corporate Valuation – CA Final SFM Study Material 21

Present Value of Cash flows after the forecast period of 5 Years.
= \(\frac{\text { Rs. } 10,260}{0.20-.08}\) × PVF
= \(\frac{\mathrm{Rs} \cdot 10,260}{0.12}\) × .402 = Rs. 34,371

Question 24.
A valuation done of an established company by a well-known analyst has estimated a value of D 500 lakhs, based on the expected free cash flow for next year of D 20 lakhs and an expected growth rate of 5%. While going through the valuation procedure, you found that the analyst has made the mistake of using the book values of debt and equity in his calculation. While you do not know the book value weights he used, you have been provided with the following information:
(i) Company has a cost of equity of 12%,
(ii) After tax cost of debt is 6%,
(iii) The market value of equity is three times the book value of equity, while the market value of debt is equal to the book value of debt.
You are required to estimate the correct value of the company. [Nov. 2010] [8 Marks]
Answer:
Step-1: To ascertain the K0 taken by the water

Value of firm:
V0 = \(\frac{\mathbf{F C F F}_1}{\mathbf{K}_{\mathrm{o}}-\mathrm{g}}\)

Where
= Value of Firm
FCFF1 = Expected FCFF at the end of year 1
K0 = Cost of capital
g = Growth rate till perpetuity

By putting the given values in the above formula:
D 500 lakhs = \(\frac{\text { Rs. } 20 \text { lakhs }}{K_o-0.05}\)
K0 = 0.09 or 9%

Step-2 Determination of book value weights taken by the valuer
New, let X be the weight of debt taken bv the valuer.
Then, (1-X) must be the weight of equity.
It is given that the cost of equity = 12% and cost of debt (after tax) = 6%. Therefore,
12% (1 – X) + 6% (X) = 9%
Hence, X = 0.50, so book value weight for debt was 50%. It means equal proportion of debt and equity has been taken by the valuer.

Step-3 Determination of Market value weights
The market value of equity is 3 times the book value and that of debt is equal to book value. The book value weights are 0.5 for both. The calculation of market value weights can be done in the following manner:
Corporate Valuation – CA Final SFM Study Material 22

Step-4 Determination of correct KQ based on market value weights
Cost of capital = K0 – 12% (0.75) + 6% (0.25) = 10.50%

Step-5 Correct Value of the firm
Correct firm’s value = V0 = \(\frac{\mathbf{F C F F}_1}{\mathbf{K}_{\mathrm{o}}-\mathrm{g}}\) = \(\frac{\text { Rs. } 20 \text { lakhs }}{0.105-0.05}\) = ₹ 363 64 lakhs

Question 25.
The valuation of Hansel Limited has been done by an investment analyst. Based on an expected free cash flow of D 54 lakhs for the following year and an expected growth rate of 9 per cent, the analyst has estimated the value of Hansel Limited to be D 1,800 lakh. However, he committed a mistake of using the book values of debt and equity.
The book value weights employed by the analyst are not known, but you know that Hansel Limited has a cost of equity of 20 per cent and post-tax cost of debt of 10 per cent. The market value of equity is thrice its book value, whereas the market value of its debt is nine-tenths of its book value. What is the correct value of Hansel Ltd? [Nov. 2014] [6 Marks]
Answer:
Step-1 To ascertain the Kg taken by the Valuer
Value of firm
V0 = \(\frac{\mathbf{F C F F}_{\mathbf{1}}}{\mathbf{K}_{\mathbf{0}}-\mathbf{g}}\)

Where
V0 = Value of Firm
FCFF1 = Expected FCFF at the end of year 1
K0 = Cost of capital
g = Growth rate till perpetuity
By putting the given values in the above formula:
D1, 800 lakhs = \(\frac{\text { Rs.54 lakhs }}{K_o-0.09}\)
K0 = 0.12 or 12%

Step-2 Determination of book value weights taken by the Valuer
New, let X be the weight of debt taken by the valuer.
Then, (1 – X) must be the weight of equity.
It is given that the cost of equity = 20% and cost of debt (after tax) = 10%. Therefore,
20% (1 – X) + 10% (X) = 12%
Hence, X = 0.80, so book value weight for debt was 80%. It means 80% and 20% of debt and equity have been taken by the valuer.

Corporate Valuation – CA Final SFM Study Material

Step-3 Determination of Market value weights
The market value of equity is thrice its book value and that of debt is equal to nine-tenth of its book value. The book value weights are 0.8 for debt and 0.2 for equity. The calculation of market value weights can be done in the following manner:

Step-4 Determination of correct Kg based on market value weights
Cost of capital = K0 = 10% (0.5455) + 20% (0.4545) = 14.545%

Step-5 Correct Value of the firm
Correct Value of the firm = V0 = \(\frac{\mathrm{FCFF}_1}{\mathbf{K}_0-\mathrm{g}}\) = \(\frac{\text { Rs. } 54 \text { lakhs }}{0.14545-0.09}\) = ₹ 973.85 lakhs.
