This article illustrates how to apply the model to value nonredeemable convertible bonds and callable convertible bonds. The article also compares model and market prices for a sample of 148 corporate convertible bonds issued between 2006 and 2010. The average median and mean pricing errors are −0.18% and 0.21%, respectively, which are within the average bid-ask spread for convertible bonds during the postcrisis sample period.","PeriodicalId":138737,"journal":{"name":"Business Valuation Review","volume":"36 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2017-11-29","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"131100983","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

When undertaking a valuation, we sometimes come across companies within an organization structure that have cross-holdings in each other.

After arriving at the en bloc value of the common equity of the cross-holdings companies within the organization structure, we then examine what these calculated values truly represent and the anomalous value “double-count” indicated at first blush.","PeriodicalId":138737,"journal":{"name":"Business Valuation Review","volume":"52 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2017-11-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"126857491","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Although widely accepted, all authors and lecturers emphasize the difficulties when determining guideline royalty rates under this method. Often, royalty rate analyses fail to survive audit, appeal, or other scrutiny. In developing robust Level 3 inputs, the appraiser must take into account all information that is reasonably available. A new approach is discussed, one that illustrates an alternative method with which to overcome difficulties in identifying and interpreting guideline license agreements.

In a path-breaking article, Bradley and Jarrell showed that traditional constant growth methods for estimating the terminal value typically failed to deal properly with inflation. The premise underlying the Bradley-Jarrell analysis, namely, that inflation applies to a firm's capital stock in the same manner that it applies to other financial metrics, is straightforward. Unfortunately, the Bradley-Jarrell analysis is often misunderstood because of accounting issues that arise in its application and because of its apparent deviation from traditional formulas for plowback and growth. This article addresses those details. In doing so, we demonstrate how to handle the issues that arise when applying the Bradley-Jarrell model to GAAP-based financial statements or forecasts and we show how the Bradley-Jarrell approach can be reconciled with the traditional models.","PeriodicalId":138737,"journal":{"name":"Business Valuation Review","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2017-08-25","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"129969169","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Poor cash flow estimates can be avoided by practicing due diligence when appraising petroleum property value and income. Due diligence is satisfied by comparing volumes recorded on actual royalty check stubs or monthly statements to state-reported production volumes, by relying on petroleum reserve appraisals instead of transaction multipliers or rules of thumb, and by using nearby analog wells in proximity found in subscription databases for good “type” well decline curves. In addition, properly referencing the contributing work of other appraisers, maps, and analyses improves understanding and reduces errors.","PeriodicalId":138737,"journal":{"name":"Business Valuation Review","volume":"27 10","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2017-07-19","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"114017532","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Generally, the value of the subject company is greater than the value of the acquired assets, or in other words, “the whole is greater than the sum of the parts.” However, what if the sum of the parts is greater than the whole?
