hardo
1. P/E of 20x so net income is $10m, EV = 200 + (20/.05) - 50 = $550M
EBITDA = $55m - 20(int) - 20(D&A) = EBT = $15m
Tax rate = 5/15 = 33.33%
2. EV = 500 + (100-20) = $580m so EBITDA = $58m
EBITDA Margin = 35 - 10 = 25%, so sales = $232m
EBT = 58 - .05*232(D&A) - 5(int exp) = 41.4
NI = 41.4*(1-.2) = $33.12m
NI % sales = 33.12/232 = 14.28%
(not sure about the second one, but I think the first is correct)
I got the same as you
