easy to grasp and straightforward to apply.
________4. Market approach is a relative valuation approach as it values a business or an intangible asset
relative to other actual valuation transactions.

price to earnings ratio, EV to EBITDA, price to book value, etc. The price multiple is then multiplied
with the relevant financial metric of the business being valued to arrive at a valuation estimate.
________6. All business valuation methods under market approach fall within one or more of the

________12. The major advantage with the market approach is finding sufficient private company market
data to reach a valid valuation conclusion.
________13. A key difference between the various market-based business valuation methods is how
these pricing multiplies are determined.
________14. Market approach-based valuation methods rely on the so-called pricing multiples which
determine a relationship between the business economic performance, such as its revenues or profits,
and its potential selling price.
________15. In Market Approach, sales of business which closely resemble the business being valued are
most commonly used to estimate the pricing multiples.
________16. To calculate value or price of a company, in simple terms, uses pricing multiple derived from
a particular financial ratio of the company or average of similar companies where the subject company
is being compared.
________17. Market Approach has 2 methods: Empirical/Statistical and Heuristics. Empirical/Statistical
Approaches composed of 3 methods dependent on the sources of comparable data: Comparative
private company sales data, Guideline public company data and Prior transactions method.
________18. The advantage of this Guideline Public Company Data is that there are plenty of transaction
data available from the public capital markets.
________19. Comparable company analysis is a technique that uses relevant drivers for growth and
performance that can be used as proxy to set a reasonable estimate for the value of an asset or
investment prospective.
________20. P/E ratio sends the signal on how much the market perceives the value of the company as
compared to what it actually earns.
________21. Book-to-Market Ratio is used to determine the appreciation of the market to the value of
the company as compared to the value it reported under its Statement of Financial Performance.
________22. If Book-to-Market Approach is used for comparable company analysis, the key component
of the financial statement needed is the Balance Sheet.
________23. Dividend Yield Ratio describes the relationship between the dividends received per share
and the appreciation of the book value of the company.
________24. Dividend-Yield Ratio is also known as dividend multiple and is a pricing multiple.
________25. Indirectly, EBITDA can be computed from net income plus depreciation and amortization
and incorporating working capital adjustments.
________26. EBITDA can serve as a proxy of cash flows from operating activities before tax.
________27. EBITDA per share is derived by dividing EBITDA by outstanding share for total equity shares.
________28. Book Value per share can be derived by dividing the net book value to the number of
outstanding shares available to ordinary and preference shares.
