Problems

Problems

  1. 1.

    What are the facts that affect the valuation of a young firm?

  2. 2.

    What type of assets are the most valuable for start-ups?

  3. 3.

  6. 6.

    Consider an investor with 10,000 shares of some company for a total investment of 750,000 €. The stock price is therefore 75 €, and we assume that it did not change between the date of purchase and the date of rights issuance.

What will the average cost of the total portfolio per share be after exercising the rights?

  7. 7.

    Consider the point of view of the company in exercise 1, which has 25,000,000 shares outstanding. Given the current price of 75 €, what is the new capitalization of the firm?
