问题如下:
Alan Chin, the CEO of Thunder Corporation, has asked his CFO, Constance Ebinosa, to prepare a valuation of Thunder for the purpose of selling the company to a private investment partnership. Thunder has been in business for 15 years and is privately owned by the original shareholders, none of whom are employed by the company. The partnership has expectations about Thunder similar to the current shareholders and management of Thunder. These investors expect to hold Thunder for an intermediate period of time and then bring the company public when market conditions are more favorable than currently. Chin is concerned about what definition of value should be used when analyzing Thunder. Given Chin’s concerns, the most appropriate defnition of value for Tunder is:
选项:
A. intrinsic value
B. investment value
C. fair market value
解释:
A is correct. Both the current shareholders and the future shareholders (the private investment group) share the same expectations. It is most reasonable to assume that both are concerned with Thunder’s intrinsic value, which market prices should reflect when the company is brought public under less volatile market conditions.
