Bigcorsquos chief financial officer is trying to determine


BigCo’s Chief Financial Officer is trying to determine a fair value for PrivCo, a non-publicly traded firm that BigCo’s is considering acquiring. Several of PrivCo’s competitors, Ion International, and Zenon are publicly traded. Ion and Zenon have price-to-earnings ratios of 30 and 25, respectively. Moreover, Ion and Zenon’s shares are trading at a multiple of earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortization (EBITDA) of 10 and 8, respectively. BigCo estimates that next year PrivCo will achieve net income and EBITDA of $5 million and $9 million, respectively. To gain a controlling interest in the firm, BigCo expects to have to pay at least a 20% premium to the firm’s market value. What should BigCo expect to pay for PrivCo?
