ACCO 40013 VALUATION CONCEPTS AND METHODS
Overview:
The fundamental point behind success investments is understanding what is the prevailing
value and the key drivers that influence this value. In this lesson, the valuation and the
processes in valuation will be discussed.
Learning Objectives:
After successful completion of this lesson, you should be able to:
1. Describe the use and importance of valuation
2. Illustrate Porter’s Five Forces
3. Enumerate the principles and processes in creating value
Course Materials: to regard as such
Valuation
It is the estimation of an asset’s value based on variables perceived to be related to future
investment returns, on comparison with similar assets, or when relevant, on estimates of
used to suggest what is
theoretically possible
intrinsic is the actual value while the
fair value is the probable market price
immediate liquidation proceeds, says CFA Institute.
VALUATION PROCESS
3. Selecting the right valuation model – it depends on the context of the valuation and the
inherent characteristics of the company being valued.
4. Preparing valuation model based on forecasts – there are two aspects to be
considered:
- Sensitivity analysis – common methodology in valuation exercises wherein
multiple other analyses are done to understand how changes in an input or
variable will affect the outcome.
3
SUBJECT: ACCO 40013 – VALUATION CONCEPTS AND METHODS

- Situational adjustments – firm specific issues that affects firm value that
should be adjusted by analysts since these are events that are not quantified
if analysts only look at core business operations.
Activities/Assessments:
True or False. State TR when the statement is correct and FA if the statement is
incorrect.
________1. Businesses treat capital as a scarce resource that they should compete to
obtain and efficiently manage.
________2. Methods to value for real estate can may be different on how to value an
entire business.
________3. Valuation includes the use of forecasts to come up with reasonable
estimate of value of an entity’s assets or its equity.
________4. Intrinsic value refers to the value of any asset based on the assumption
assuming there is a hypothetically complete understanding of its investment
characteristics.
________5. Spin-off is separating a segment or component business and transforming
this into a separate legal entity whose ownership will be transferred to shareholders.
________6. Fundamental analysts are persons who are interested in understanding
and measuring the intrinsic value of a firm.
________7. Chartist relies on the concept that stock prices are significantly influenced
by how investors think and act.
________8. Merger is the general term which describes the transaction two companies’
combined to form a wholly new entity.
________9. Valuation is the estimation of an asset’s value based on variables
perceived to be related to future investment returns, on comparisons with similar assets
or when relevant on estimates of immediate liquidation proceeds.
________10. Value is impact by liquidity.

Overview:
This lesson will discuss how investors will determine how much they are willing to acquire it.
Since asset has been identified by the industry as transactions that would yield future economic
benefits as a result of past transactions. Therefore, the value of investment opportunities is
highly dependent on the value that the asset will generate from now until the future.
Learning Objectives:
After successful completion of this lesson, you should be able to:
1. Differentiate the valuation methods.
2. Describe the going concern and liquidation concern asset based approach.
3. Illustrate the capitalizing and discounted future earnings.

2. Net Cash Flows to Equity – represents the amount of cash flows made available to the
equity stockholders after deducting the net debt or the outstanding liabilities to the
creditors less available cash balance of the company.
Terminal Value – represents the value of the company in perpetuity or in a going concern
environment. This can be computed as:
TV = CFn
G
TV = Terminal Value
CFn = Farthest net cash flows
g = Growth rate
g=
1 5.00
2 5.50
3 6.05
4 6.66
5 7.32
Assuming this is a GCBO, and it is expected that the net cash flows will behave on a normal
trend. The growth rate is computed as:
g=
g = 1.10 – 1
g = 0.10
TV = 7.32/0.10
TV = 73.20
DCF Analaysis is most applicable to use whn the following are available:
1. Validated operational and financial information
2. Reasonable appropriated cost of capital or required rate of return

Lesson 2 – GOING CONCERN ASSET BASED
Overview:
In this lesson, different financial ratios as a tool will be discussed and illustrate to help
students assess the relationship of each drivers and show the how these tools could actually
simplify the decision making of investors.
Learning Objectives:
After successful completion of this lesson, you should be able to:
1. Define the financial ratios to compare company performance.
2. Describe the use of financial ratios in estimating entity value and investments.
3. Apply the financial ratios in decision making.
Course Materials:
Comparable company analysis is a technique that uses relevant drivers for growth and
performance that can be used as a proxy to set a reasonable estimate for the value of an asset
or investment prospective. It uses tools to enable the comparison between companies given the
difference in 3s – Strategy, Structure, and Size. Its objective is to enable the analyst or
management accountant to determine the value of the company based on the behavior of
similar businesses in the industry which captures the risks factors and other micro and macro
economic considerations.
The following factors are considered in determining the value in comparable company
analysis: ∙ Comparators must be at least with the similar operation or industry.
∙ Total and absolute value should not be compared.
∙ Variables used in determining the ratios must be the same.
∙ Period of observation must be comparable.
∙ Non-quantitative factors must also be considered.
Financial Ratios:
Price-Earnings ratio – known as Price Multiples or P/E Multiples, represents the relationship of
the market value per share and the earnings per share. It shows how much the market
perceives the value of the company as compared to what it actually earns. This can be
computed as follows:
P/E = Market
Value Per Share
Earnings Per share
To illustrate, Payaman Co. is a listed company with the market value per share of
Php12.00 and reported earnings per share of Php4.00. Using the equation above, the P/E ratio
is Php3.00 which means that Payaman can create 3x the value of what it earns.
Book-to-Market ratio – determines the appreciation of the market to the value of the company
as oppose to the value it reported under its Statement of Financial Position. Though it has
9

limitation for some values incorporated in this ratio does not represent the true value of the
company. It can be computed as:
Dividend-Yield ratio – describes the relationship between the dividends received per share and
the appreciation of the market on the price of the company. It is also known as dividend
multiple. This theory assumes that the value of the firm is affected by the dividends the
company pays.
DYR = Dividend
Per Share
Market Value Per Share
To illustrate, Starlight Inc. declared and paid dividends of Php1.50 per share and their
market value per share is Php12.50. Based on the foregoing, the dividend yield ratio is 0.12
which means that for every Php1.50 dividends they pay, it will translate into 12% of the market
value of the equity and this can be computed as follows:
DYR = 1.5
12.5
EBITDA Multiple – it is Earnings Before Interest, Taxes, Depreciation and Amortization which
represents for the net amount of revenue after deducting operating expenses and before
deducting financial fixed costs, taxes and non-cash expenses.
EBITDA per share is derived by dividing EBITDA into outstanding share for common
equity or ordinary share. To illustrate, Starlight Inc. reported EBITDA per share of Php6.00 and
the market value per share being Php12.00. Given the equation the EBITDA Multiple is 2
(2=Php12.0/Php6.0).
Economic Value Added (EVA) – it is the most conventional way to determine the value of the
asset is through its economic value added. It is the convenient for this is assessing the ability of
the firm to support its cost of capital with its earnings. It is the excess of the earning after
deducting the cost of capital. The assumption is that the excess shall be accumulated for the
firm the higher the excess the better. Elements that must be considered in using EVA are:
To illustrate, Starlight Inc. projected earnings to be Php350 Million per year. The board
of directors decided to sell the company for Php1,500 Million with a cost of capital appropriate
for this type of business is 10%. With the given data, the EVA is Php200 Million (Php350 Million
– (Php1,500 Million x 10%)). This result means that the value offered by the company is
10

reasonable for the level of earnings it realized on an average and sufficient to cover for the cost
for raising the capital.
Activities/Assessments:
Answer the following problems:
1. Compute for the price earnings ratio if the earnings per share is Php5.50.
Year Market Value per Share P/E ratio
1 27.500
2 30.250
3 22.000
4 17.875
5 28.875
2. CIA INC. reported earnings for the year amounting to Php25 Million with outstanding
shares of 1Million. The market value per share of CIA INC. is Php122. The reported CIA
Inc. is Php10. If the investor is aware of the CIA INC.’s performance, how much should
the investor value CIA INC.?
3. Lovesky Co. declared dividends of Php2.00 per share for their performance last year
after the declaration of dividends the market value per share increased to Php45.00 per
share. What is the dividend yield ration of Lovesky Co.?

Lesson 3 – GOING CONCERN ASSET BASED VALUATION
Overview:
Valuation process requires incorporation of a lot of factors that can be used to facilitate
the calculation. These help investors to enable to execute the formula and fundamentals that
are necessary to determine the value and at the same time to determine the share from the
company. And one of the tools that can also be used by investors is financial model. This lesson
will show how financial model is being prepared.
Learning Objectives:
After successful completion of this lesson, you should be able to:
1. Define the financial models.
2. Describe the steps in developing a financial model.
3. Enumerate the components of financial model.
Course Materials:
Financial models are mathematical models designed to aid in coming up with a recommended
decision and at the same time can be used to validate the assumptions made. It is similar to
financial plan or quantification of strategies and operating plans of the enterprise that is used to
facilitate the following:
- Determination of asset value or enterprise value and equity value.
- Identification of risk.
- Development of scenarios and sensitivities.
2. Establish driver for growth and assumptions – drivers are data that have been validated
by government or experts. Growth drivers are based on population as most of the
products are consumer goods so the growth indicators may be inflation, population
growth, GNP or GDP growth. The bases may come from different sources such as
Philippine Statistics Authority (PSA), Bangko Sentral ng Pilipinas (BSP), National
Economic and Development Authority (NEDA) and other government agencies.
n- 1 x 100%
Inflation = CPI
CPIo
To illustrate, in year 2019, the CPI is 151 so the cost of the basket is PHP151. In
year 2020, the CPI published is Php155. Since there is an increase of 4 from 2019 to
2020 CPI, there is an inflation of 2.64% using the equation above.

Financial ratios may be used as tools to determine the growth drivers and
assumptions. Trend analysis will also help you establish the trajectory of growth pattern.
The financial modeler must assess whether the company can sustain the pattern
otherwise, it is conservative to assume a less aggressive growth. Normally, the weighted
growth pattern will be considered in the long term financial perspective. It must be
assessed whether the average year on year growth will be sustained or may be
surpassed.
To illustrate, PIP Company’s historical production grows 10% per year. It is
expected that in the next five years, the probability are as follows:
Scenari Rat Probability
o e
A 5% 10%
B 10% 40%
C 15% 50%
Given the data above, the weighted average growth rate to be used is 11.55%
computed as follows:
Scenari Rat Probability Weighted
o e
A 5% 10% 0.5%
3. Determine the reasonable cost of capital – financial modeler must be able to determine
the appropriate cost of capital by weighing the portion of the asset that is funded of
equity and of debt. To do this, the weighted average cost of capital (WACC). WACC =
(Ke x We) + (Kd x
Wd)
Ke –
cost of equity
We – weight of the equity financing
Kd – cost of debt after tax
Wd – weight of the debt financing
Ke =
Rf +
B (Rm – Rf)
Rf – risk free rate
B – beta
Rm – market return
Kd =
Rf +
DM
Rf –
risk free rate
DM – debt margin
13
SUBJECT: ACCO 40013 – VALUATION CONCEPTS AND METHODS
PREPARED BY: CIELO AMOR E. DIQUIT, CPA, MBA
To illustrate, the risk free rate is 5% and the prevailing interest rate is 6%. The
cost of debt is then 11%. Based on the current share of financing, equity is 30% and
debt is 70% while tax rate is 30%. Using the formula above, the WACC is 10%.
4. Execute the formula to compute for the value – financial modeler usually use DCF or
Discounted Cash Flow in applying the capital budget techniques such as Internal Rate of
Return (IRR) or Net Present Value (NPV) for an instance. Below example shows the
computation and formula of NPV and IRR in excel/spreadsheet.
In million pesos
1 2 3 4 5
On the other hand, NPV and IRR may be computed manually using the below
formula: NPV = PV * (1/(1+i)n
PV – present value
I – interest
N – number of years or period
5. Make scenarios and sensitivity analysis based on the result – a financial model could
easily be adjusted based on the perceived or desired result or information on a given
situation. Hence, the “what if analysis” can be done using the financial model. For an
instance, the 7% cost of capital may be 10% or 12% and with the use of financial model,
the results like the equity value can easily be computed even when the sudden changes
happen.
The scenarios may be presented in financial model based on the possible occurrences
like level of operating expense, mode of operations, capital expenditure development.
This is where Risk Based Valuation could actually be used as it incorporates climate
change, war, economic sabotage and pandemic. While sensitivity analysis is almost
similar to scenario modelling. The only difference is that sensitivity analysis will have to

select a driver or few drivers, ceteris paribus, and check the degree of change it will
cause to the results. It is very useful in developing ballpark estimates. Ballpark figures
are quantitative drivers or multipliers that allow the investors to quickly make an estimate
or offer.
Problem 1 Hats and Shoes Corp. is projecting its operating activities for the next five years.
The volume of units to be sold on the first year is 60 and to grow by 15% every year. They are
selling their merchandise at Php50 on the average. Operating income margin is 25%.
1. Revenue of the company for Year 1,2,3,4, and 5 are ___________________________.
2. Operating Income of the company for Year 1,2,3,4 and 5 are _____________________.
3. Annualized Growth Rate of the company for the 5 years is _______________________.
Problem 2 Electricute Inc. has projected its net cash flows at Php45Million on the first year. In
order to realize the 10% growth for the succeeding years, Electricute purchased CAPEX
amounting to Php250 Million within the year. Half of the CAPEX was funded by liability and no
other long term liability was existing before the purchase on the first year.
4. For its 5 year projections, Electricute’s Enterprise value, assuming there is a discount
rate of 7.5%, is __________________.
5. For its 5 year projections, Electricute’s Equity Value, assuming there is a discount rate of
7.5%, is ________________________.

Lesson 4 – LIQUIDATION BASED VALUATION
Unit 1 – Liquidation Value
Overview:
An alternative approach to Going Concern Based Valuation when going-concern ability
of a business is being question or doubtful is the Liquidation Based Valuation or use of
liquidation value. This chapter will discuss the concept of this valuation and describe the
situations or scenarios to consider in this valuation.
Learning Objectives:
After successful completion of this lesson, you should be able to:
1. Identify situations that would require liquidation value.
2. Enumerate the principles to apply in liquidation valuation.
Course Materials:
Liquidation value
It is a value of a company if it were dissolved and its assets were sold individually. It represents
the net amount that can be gathered if the business is shut down and its assets are sold in
piecemeal. This is known as Net Asset Value.
b. Corporate/Project End of Life – normally, corporations have stated their finite life in their
Articles of Incorporation. If there will be no extension on the corporate life, the terminal
value may be computed using liquidation value.
c. Depletion of Scarce Resources – this is most applicable to mining and oil where
availability of scarce resources influences the value of the firm. Liquidation happens in
this business when the permits or contracts with the government expire and the
operation will no longer be allowed to execute.
16
SUBJECT: ACCO 40013 – VALUATION CONCEPTS AND METHODS
PREPARED BY: CIELO AMOR E. DIQUIT, CPA, MBA
General Principles on Liquidation Value
1. If the liquidation value is above income approach valuation (based on going
concern principle) and liquidation comes into consideration, liquidation value
should be used.
2. If the nature of the business implies limited lifetime (e.g. quarry, gravel, fixed term
company etc.), the terminal value must be based on liquidation. All costs
necessary to close the operations (e.g. plant closure costs, disposal costs,
rehabilitation costs) should also be factored in and deducted to arrive at the
liquidation value.
3. Non-operating assets should be valued by liquidation method as the market value
reduced by costs of sales and taxes. Since they are not part of the firm’s
operating activities, it might be inappropriate to use the same going concern
valuation technique used for business operations. If such result is higher than net
present value of cash flows from operating the asset, the liquidation value should
be used.
4. Liquidation value must be used if the business continuity is dependent on current
management that will not stay.
Activities/Assessments:
True or False.
________1. Liquidation value represents the net amount that can be gathered if the business is
shut down and its assets are sold in piecemeal.
________2. A unique callout for liquidation value is if the firm is operating under a proprietorship
or partnership model.
________3. Liquidation value is the base price or the floor price for any firm valuation exercise.
________4. Bankruptcy is the most serious type of business failure as this happens when
liabilities become greater than asset balance.
________5. Insolvency happens when a company cannot pay liabilities as they become due.
________6. Business failure is the most common reason why businesses close or liquidate.
________7. External factors such as severe economic down turn, occurrence of natural
calamities or pandemic and the likes may contribute to business failure.
________8. For analysts, liquidation value method can also be used as benchmark in making
investment decisions.
________9. Share price often reflects growth prospects of the company which is a
consideration that liquidation value does not have.
________10. Book value should not be used as liquidation value.

Unit 2 – Uses and Calculation of Liquidation Value
Overview:
This lesson will discuss the uses of liquidation value especially in investment analysis
and illustrate how the liquidation value is calculated.
Learning Objectives:
After successful completion of this lesson, you should be able to:
1. Determine the liquidation value to be used in investment analysis.
2. Calculate the liquidation value.
Course Materials:
Liquidation value method is also used by analysts as a benchmark in making investment
decisions. Most analysts and investors are looking for a profitable companies and as perceived,
companies with high profitability have less chances of liquidating, thereby, liquidation value is
lower than its prevailing market price per share. On the other hand, when firms are experiencing
decline or an industry is consistently declining, liquidation value will be higher than its market
share price which often leads to total closure or liquidation of the business. Share price often
reflects growth prospects of the company which is a consideration that liquidation value does
not have. Investors of the firms usually buy the shares at prevailing market price and sell the
company at the higher liquidation value. This results in risk-free arbitrage profit for corporate
investors.
To illustrate:

To compute for the adjusted value of the assets, the current book values should be multiplied by
the assumed realizable value if they are liquidated. Then the liabilities should be deducted from
the asset adjusted value to arrive at the liquidation value or net asset value.

1. Orderly liquidation – assets are sold strategically over an orderly period to attract
and generate the most money for the assets. This process will expose assets for
sale on the open market, with a reasonable time allowed to find a purchaser,
both buyer and seller having knowledge of the users and purposes to which the
asset is adapted and for which it is capable of being used, the seller being
compelled to sell and the buyer being willing, but not compelled to buy.

Lesson 5 – EARNINGS AND MARKET APPROACH
VALUATION Unit 1 – Earnings Approach
Overview:
In this lesson, other business valuation methods will be discussed like Earnings
Approach. This will tackle how to value a company based on its earnings or ability to earn or
produce revenue.
Learning Objectives:
After successful completion of this lesson, you should be able to:
1. Discuss the two common methods under earnings approach.
2. Illustrate how capitalizing past earnings and discounting future earnings are calculated.
Course Materials:
Earnings Approach is another common method of valuation and is based on the concept that
the actual value of a business lies in the ability to produce revenue, profit and eventually wealth
in the future.
The estimate here is found by taking the future earnings of the company and
dividing them by capitalization rate – income valuation approach which shows the
value of a company by analyzing the annual rate of return, the current cash flow
and the expected value of the business.
Illustration. Cecilia Company has earned and had a cash flows of about
P500,000 every year. The same cash flow would continue for the forseeable
future as a prediction of company’s earnings. The expenses for the business
every year is about P100,000 only which leads to P400,000 income every year.
To figure out the value of the business, an investor analyses other risk
investment that have the same kind of cash flows. The investor now recognizes a
P4 Million Treasury Bond that returns about 10% annually or P400,000.
Given the information above, the business value is also computed as P4 Million
(P400,000/10%). Both investments have the same risks and rewards.
Illustration. A firm that expects to generate the following earnings stream over the
next five years. The terminal value in Year 5 is based on a multiple of 10 times
that year’s earnings. What is the present value of the firm?

Unit 2 – Market Approach
Overview:
The idea behind the market approach is that the value of the business can be
determined by reference to reasonably comparable guideline companies for which transaction
values are known.
Learning Objectives:
After successful completion of this lesson, you should be able to:
1. Enumerate the methods under market approach.
2. Illustrate the market value approaches.
Course Materials:
Market-based valuation methods are routinely used by business owners, buyers, and their
professional advisors to determine the business worth. It offers the view of business market
value that is both easy to grasp and straightforward to apply. The idea is to compare the
business with other similar businesses that have actually been sold. It could provide quick
pricing estimate or selling price. Its mechanic involves finding a price multiple of the benchmark
such as price to earnings ratio, price to book value and etc.

Price should be matched to the appropriate parameted based on providers of capital and the
numerator will be paid with the money given in the denominator. For example, in Price/EBIT,
price is the market value of invested capital (MVIC), since the earnings before interest payments
and taxes will be paid to both the debt and equity holders. In price/net income, price is the
market value of equity (MVEq) only, since net income is after interest payment to debt holders
and represents amount potentially available to shareholders.
MVIC – is usually the numerator paired with Revenues, EBITDA, EBIT, Debt-free net income,
Debt-Net Cash Flows, Assets, Tangible book value of invested capital. Market Value of Invested
Capital is defined as the amount of money invested or raised by issuing shares to shareholders
and bondholders, hence the sources are equity and debt.
MVEq – is the numerator paired with Pre-tax Income, Net Income and Net Cash Flow and Book
Value of Equity. It is defined as the mount of money invested or raised by issuing securities to
shareholders only – hence equity alone.
Illustration. You are to evaluate Lung Company’s current value and assigned to find out the
reasonable minimum price the company can issue for 20% shareholdings. A comparable
company has been identified – Heart Company which is very similar with Lung Company and
that was priced or valued at P150 Million taken as a whole (MVIC). The following are the
relevant financial information of the two companies:
Compute for the Value or the Price of Lung Company using the following
parameters: a. Gross Revenue
b. Net Income
Activities/Assessments:
1. What is the MVIC and MVEq of ABC Co. using gross revenue as parameter?
2. What is the MVIC and MVEq of ABC Co. using net income as parameter?
