Suppose Rocky Brands has earnings per share of $2.33 and EBITDA of $29.3 million. The firm also has 5.3 million shares outstan

posledela

Answer:

enterprise value to EBITDA.

Explanation:

The computation of the value of the stock using P/E ratio is shown below:-

Stock value = (P/E ratio × EPS) × Number of shares outstanding

= (12.9 × $2.33) × 5.3 million

= 159.3021 million

Now, the computation of the value of the stock using EBITDA multiple is shown below:-

Stock value = (EBITDA multiple × EBITDA) - Net debt

= (7.1 × $29.3 million) - $125 million

= 208.03 - $125 million

= 83.03

There is no equivalent corporate debt. It is easier to make a comparison at the operating level and thus a better measure of valuation is the enterprise value to EBITDA.

Serggg [28]

Answer:

Pitch

Explanation:

Enrico has trouble differentiating between a tuba's sound and a piccolo's sound. Although a piccolo generates sound waves that are much briefer, quicker than a tuba, he has trouble tracking the variations in the pitch of such sounds.

For music, a note's pitch indicates the note's high or low. It is measured for physics in a Hertz unit. A note that vibrates at 261 Hz is induced by pulsing sound waves at 261 times per second.
