As of December 31, 2017, shareholders’ equity was $18.977 billion, goodwill was $9.401 billion, and intangibles was $368 million. Placing those numbers into the formula we arrive at $18.977B – $9.401B – $368M = $9.208 billion. Therefore, using the net worth method, the value of Coca-Cola would be $9.208 billion. The Net Income Method When using the net income method, the equation would be: Net Income x 5 (David et al., 2020). As of December 31, 2017, net income for Coca-Cola was $1.248 billion. Multiplying $1.248 billion by 5 results in a total of $6.240 billion. Therefore, using the net income method, the value of Coca-Cola would be $6.240 billion. The Price-Earnings Ratio Method The formula for the price-earnings ratio method is: (Stock Price ÷ EPS) x Net Income (David et al., 2020). For the stock price, I used the stock price given in exercise 8A of $45.54. To get EPS, the formula is net income/number of shares outstanding. Again, I found the number of shares outstanding in exercise 8A (4.255 million). To get EPS, the formula would be $1.248B/4.255B = $0.2933. Then I would place all the numbers into the formula for price-earnings ratio: ($45.54 ÷ $0.2933) x $1.248 billion = $193,774,019,774.97 or $193.774 billion. Therefore using the price-earnings ratio method the value of Coca-Cola would be $193.774 billion. Outstanding Shares Method The formula for the outstanding shares method is Number of shares Outstanding x Stock Price. Placing the numbers in the formula, it would be 4.255B x $45.54 = $193.773 billion. Therefore, using the outstanding shares method, the value of Coca-Cola would be $193.773 billion. Average of the Methods – Coca-Cola’s Value Taking the average of the four methods would be: $193.773B + $193.774B + $6.240B + $9.208B = $402.995B ÷ 4 = $100.749B. Valuation Method Formula Valuation Net Worth $18.977B - $9.401B - $368M = $9.208B $9.208 billion Net Income $1.248B x 5 = $6.240B $6.240 ...
