Welcome back to our second part of Capital Budgeting, which is Valuing a Business.
[11]
Brought to you by MBABULLSHIT.COM.
[16]
Before this video, you should first understand present value, net present value, basic capital
[26]
budgeting, and the weighted average cost of capital, or the WACC.
[32]
If you don’t understand these concepts yet, I recommend that you watch my other free videos
[42]
on these topics above.
[45]
Let’s get down to it!
[50]
When we say valuing a business, we’re actually trying to answer the question “How much
[58]
is the business worth?”
[60]
If you remember, here is a store, an existing business.
[69]
Maybe you want to buy this store from its owner.
[82]
Before you buy from him, you have to find out how much is the business worth?
[91]
Here is where financial managers and accountants have different philosophies.
[98]
For most accountants, the way they would value a business is they look at the price of the
[108]
assets – shelves, building, uniform – and then they look at the price of the liabilities
[117]
or the debt (maybe they owe money to the bank) and then they come out with something called
[128]
“owner’s equity” and that’s how they value the business.
[134]
The amount of owner’s equity is how much the business is worth.
[143]
However, for financial managers, we don’t care about the asset value or the owner’s
[156]
equity.
[157]
We don’t care if this shelf costs $1M or if the business building is worth a lot, usually.
[170]
What we do care about is the present value of the free cash flows.
[182]
This is another way of saying how much the store actually earns.
[189]
If the store, for example, has $10,000 worth of shelf and equipment, but it only earns
[201]
$5 a year then the store is not worth much.
[209]
Even if the assets are worth a lot, the fact that it earns such a small amount means that
[217]
it’s a bad business and that it’s worth little.
[223]
Most financial managers put a heavier importance on the earnings of the business instead of
[235]
the assets of the business.
[241]
One way of representing these earnings is by looking at the free cash flow.
[250]
The way we value a business is we look at the present value of the free cash flow plus
[258]
the present value of its horizon value.
[262]
Don’t worry if you don’t understand these terms yet.
[268]
You will see in a while.
[273]
How to compute the “free cash flow” will be discussed in another video.
[279]
For this video, I will just give you the amount or the figure of this business’ free cash
[290]
flow so you can understand the concept quickly.
[301]
For example, this store has free cash flow earnings of:
[314]
Year 1: $10,000 Year 2: $12,000
[319]
Year 3: $11,000 Year 4: $13,000
[326]
This is given.
[328]
In more advanced problems, you would have to compute this yourself, but I will discuss
[337]
that in another video.
[339]
Let’s assume that these are the free cash flows of the store.
[349]
And then I give you the following information: Horizon year is Year 3, which means this (referring
[367]
to Year 3: $11,000).
[370]
You might be wondering what the heck is a horizon year?
[375]
Horizon means you look into the future.
[380]
However, most people make the mistake of thinking that the horizon year is the last year of
[390]
information that you are given in the problem.
[396]
Do not do that.
[397]
Year 4 is not the horizon year.
[402]
Usually, your professor will say that the horizon year is 1 year before the last year.
[418]
Remember to always read the problem carefully and look at what the professor says is the
[426]
horizon year.
[428]
In our case, it’s Year 3.
[432]
If you’re wondering why we need to know the horizon year, you’ll know in a short
[442]
time later.
[444]
I’ll show you why it is important.
[448]
And we know that the weighted average cost of capital is 10%.
[457]
In more advanced problems, you would have to compute the WACC by yourself.
[467]
If you don’t know how to compute this, you can watch the other video about WACC.
[476]
The other piece of information that is given is the estimated free cash flow long term
[497]
average growth of 5% per year.
[504]
For Year 4, Year 5, Year 6, Year 7, the free cash flow will grow 5% year.
[513]
It doesn’t mean that it will grow exactly 5% per year.
[524]
It just means that, on the average, it will grow 5% per year.
[544]
How do we compute or value the business?
[550]
We need to look at 2 formulas.
[555]
Remember, I said we have to look at the present value of the free cash flows.
[563]
To do that, we use this formula:
[569]
Don’t panic.
[571]
I know it looks scary and complicated, but I will show you how easy it is.
