Analysis of sales (the independent variable) to cash flows (the dependent variable) data for linear regression produces an intercept of -$124,666 and a slope of 0.1823. Which correctly explains the slope value? If sales rise by one-dollar, net cash flow would increase by 18.23% 1823 is multiplied by the current period actual and (1 - 0.1823) is multiplied by the current period forecast If sales drop by one-dollar, net cash flow would drop by $0.1823 23% of the change in net cash flow is explained by the change in net sales

Give typing answer with explanation and conclusion 27. EFN Define the following: S = Previous year’s sales A = Total assets E = Total equity g = Projected growth in sales PM = Profit margin b = Retention (plowback) ratio Assuming that all debt is constant, show that EFN can be written as EFN = −PM(S)b + [A − PM(S)b] × g Hint: Asset needs will equal A × g. The addition to retained earnings will equal PM(S)b × (1 + g).
Value in Valuation, Inc. is assessing the value of two companies, Company A and Company B, which projects average net cashflows in the next five years of P4,000,000 and 3,000,000, respectively. The required rate of return is both 8%. Which of the following has the higher equity value and by how much? And assuming that Company A is being sold at P48,000,000 while Company B is being sold at P36,500,000, what should be Value in Valuation’s best recommendation among the following choices: 1. To buy Company A because the selling price is higher than its equity value 2. To buy Company A because it is being sold at a discount of P2,000,000 3. To buy Company B because the selling price is lower than its equity value 4. To buy Company B because it is being sold at a premium of P1,000,000

An analyst has estimated the value of a company using two valuation methodologies. The discounted cash flow (DCF) value is $200 million, comparable recent transactions’ value is $225 million. The purchase price paid for the recent comparable transaction included a 20% premium. The analyst has greater confidence in the comparable transaction method and therefore gives a weight of 60% to this methodology, with 40% weight to the discounted cash flow methodology. Estimate the weighted average value of the firm using these two valuation methodologies and using the weights or relative importance the analyst gives to each methodology.
