Question

Edelman Engines has $5 billion in total assets — of which cash and equivalents total $90 million. Its balance sheet shows $1 billion in current liabilities — of which the notes payable balance totals $1.04 billion. The firm also has $3.25 billion in long-term debt and $0.75 billion in common equity. It has 300 million shares of common stock outstanding, and its stock price is $24 per share. The firm's EBITDA totals $1.08 billion. Assume the firm's debt is priced at par, so the market value of its debt equals its book value. What are Edelman's market/book and its EV/EBITDA ratios? Do not round intermediate calculations. Round your answers to two decimal places.

Answer 1

Answer:

Edelman's market/book = 2.29

Edelman's EV/EBITDA = 10.52

Explanation:

Firstly, we need to calculate enterprise value (EV) & fiem value (FV) of Edelman Engines as below:

EV =  Market value of equity + Net market value of debt

     = Stock price x Number of share outstanding + (Debt - Cash)

     = 24 x 0.3 + (3.25 + 1 - 0.09) = 11.36

FV = Market value of equity + Market value of debt

     = Stock price x Number of share outstanding + Market value of debt

     = 24 x 0.3 + 3.25 + 1 = 11.45

Edelman's market/book = FV/Total asset = 11.45/5 = 2.29

Edelman's EV/EBITDA = 11.36/1.08 = 10.52
