Solutions

Expert Solution

1) Enterprise value = $ 6400 million

Debt value = $ 900 million

Equity value = 6400- 900 = $5500 million

Out of which minority interest = $ 400 million

Therefore value for shareholder = 5500-400 = $5100 million

No of shares outstanding = 800 million shares

Therefore, value estimated per share = (5500-400) / 800  = $ 6.38 per share

Option c is correct

Sr. No. Transaction Activity
1 Common Stock Dividends Financing Activity
2 Sales and marketing expenses Operational Activity
3 Common stock repurchases Financing Activity
4 Research and Development Expenditures Investment Activity
5 Additions to property and equipment Investment Activity
6 General and administrative expenses Operational Activity
7 Common stock issues Financing Activity
8 Sales (revenue) Operational Activity
9 Income Taxes Operational Activity
10 Accounts Receivable Operational Activity

Only 2 activities are investment activities.

Option b is correct

An investor who believes that “Price is what you pay, but value is what you get” is looking for value in equity. He is not just speculating the price or looking for short term gains. He is looking for value in Equity. Therefore he has to be labelled as Fundamental Investor.

Therefore option d is correct
