FFDP Corp. has yearly sales of $28.8 million and costs of $13.5 million. The company’s balance sheet shows debt of $54.8 million and cash of $38.8 million. There are 1,960,000 shares outstanding and the industry EV/EBITDA multiple is 8.3.

Explanation / Answer

Caclualtion of company’s enterprise value:

Earning before tax interest and depreciation (EBTIDA) = Sales -Costs = 28.8 - 13.5 = $15.3 Million

Given that : Enterprise value (EV) / EBTIDA = 8.3

hence , Enterprise value (EV) = 8.3 * EBTIDA

Enterprise value (EV) = 8.3 * 15.3 = $126.99 Million

Calculation of Stock price :

Stock price = EV / number of shares

= 126.99 *(1000000) / 1960000

= $64.79
