Author	Topic: Alt way to value company
Sylvain @2005-04-19 06:05:16	Can someone please give a quick and dirty way to analyaze the value of a company??
LeoLeo @2005-04-19 17:45:27	Asset - Liabilities + discounted growth prospects - liquiditiy discount
ScottZ @2005-04-20 12:33:56	don't forget intellectual capital. When you buy the company if all the talent walks, what are you left with?
MGM13 @2005-04-21 21:04:39	True on the intellectual capital, but how to you put a number on that? Almost any "value" of IC could be justified. If you use a firm's goodwill (or some portion of it) as a proxy, how do you determine what percentage to apply to IC, say versus brand name recognition and loyalty?
majunk @2005-04-22 13:32:23	LeoLeo is right
KINGas @2005-04-30 12:19:41	I think u can capitalize R&D expenses and value some of them as intellectual capital.

I was very pleased with your notes and question bank. I especially like the mock exams because it helped to pull everything together.
