Hi buddy,
Let's work together and try to figure it our, OK?
First, you want to know how to evaluate an entity has nothing but cash via NPV method, right?
I assume you can still do it with the model.
Actually, you can refer a bank evaluation.
Normally speaking, it has nothing but cash or cash equivalent.
It is still eligible to be evaluated via NPV.
You project your pro foma cash flow statement in the near future;
then, you figure out your capital structure and correspondent capital price (i).
The rest is pretty similar with what you have done with other normal practice.
If your question is,
how do you evaluate an entity which has nothing but a $100 bill or deposit card with sufficient balance on it, you have my attention now.
Normally speaking, the number on your balance is the absolutely value of your business.
The valuation is 100% assured.
Here is the key issue,
A business is normally a on going process.
To survive all kinds of risk, it needs to exchange its resource with outside resource continuously.
The projected cash flow statement is the most approximate description about its future outcome in the finance world.
If your entity ceases operation, just holding a $100 bill in your hand.
That's the value of your business, no problem about it.
Since no further option, the net value will have nothing to do with the discount rate, since no future cash flow will incur.
I hope this help,
what's your opinion, buddy?
Thank you.
