THESE ARE THE THREE TECHNIQUES WHICH ARE USED TO KNOW ABOUT THE
PRICE OF THE SHARES. THE FOLLOWING ARE WRITTEN BY ME ME ME
JUNAID ALI MALIK. SAJID YOU HAVE TO USE THE THREE METHODS
FORMULA AND FIND OUT THE SHARE PRICE OF THE SEVEN TRENT COMPNAY.
THIS IS THE WORK OF 300 RUPEES MAN.. YES!!!!
Dont read them all, just use the formula and fulfill the c requirement below.. very simple

(c) Using the information from (a), (b) above, value the price of
the share of your company as at 1 Sep 2014 using at least three
alternative valuation techniques.

(c) Using the information from (a), (b) above, value the price of the share of your company
as at 1 Sep 2014 using at least three alternative valuation techniques.
The valuation techniques are very crucial for every company to find out what the price will be of
the share of the company. There are certain techniques that are used in this regard, but the main
thing is that we need to understand them first of all and after their understanding; determination
of the value of the price will be easy for the investors. Most of the investors, by the
understanding of the techniques make a rational decision. The three alternative techniques are
mentioned below with their impact over the price of the share of the Seven Trent PLC share
price.

1. Net assets methods of valuation of shares

In this method, the total value of this company will be divided by total number of shares of the
company. In this way, per share value will be there after the division. Following is the formula
that shows how the calculation is done.
Value per Share= (Net Assets-Preference Share Capital)/Number of Equity Shares
The main things in this technique are that of the accurate measurement of the value of the assets.
The net realizable value is to be taken of the floating assets and the assets and the liabilities are
given proper consideration at the time of calculation. The goodwill and the intangible assets are
calculated properly by actually taking the total amount that can be gained from this intangible
asset. There are some types of assets that should be completely ignored and they are fictitious
assets like accumulated loss and the discount on the shares and the debenture. These are the
certain things that should be considered before taking into consideration this method of
calculation.
2. Yield Or Market Value Method Of Valuation Of Shares
The second one is the market value method in which the predicted or the expected rate of return
on investment is shown by the curve. This rate of return is further subdivided into, rate of
dividend and the rate of earning too. Due to these rates the shareholders determine how much
they are going to receive on the investment they have done in purchasing the share of the
company. There are two sorts of yield in it as mentioned earlier.
The first one is the dividend yield, under which the shares of the company are valued on the
basis of the general or normal rate of return and the expected dividend is also given
consideration. Here the following formula is applied.
Expected rate of dividend = (profit available for dividend/paid up equity share capital) X
100
Value per share = (Expected rate of dividend/normal rate of return) X 100
The second on is the earning yield method in which the shares are valued on the basis of rate of
interest and the expected amount of the earning. These are the factors which are used in the
calculation process to find out the per share value of the company.
Value per Share = (Expected rate of earning/Normal rate of return) X Paid up value of
equity share
Expected rate of earning = (Profit after tax/paid up value of equity share) X 100
3. Earning Capacity Method Of Valuation Of Shares

This is the method in which the management of the Seven Trent Company will find out the value
of its share by observing the disposable profit of the company. The total profit is the gross profit,
it becomes the net profit after the deduction of the variable expenses and after the net profit is
gotten the reserves kept by the company and the taxes are deducted to find out the disposable
income of the company. There are certain steps that are followed in receiving the share price. The
very first one is the formation and knowledge of the total amount of profit available for the
dividend, and then the capitalized value is found out. The formula for finding out this value is
Capitalized Value = (Profit available for equity dividend/Normal rate of return) X 100
The last step here is to find out the price of a share, which is gotten by the assistance of the
following formula.
Value per share = Capitalized Value/Number of Shares
