Broadly, there are three methods of business valuation

  1. Asset Approach
  2. Income Approach
  3. Market Approach

Considering the given information is only about the Net Income of the Golf Course, we need to value the business by 2nd Model i.e., Income Approach

The Income based method of valuation is based on the premise that the current value of any business is a function of the future value that an investor can expect to receive from purchasing all or part of the business. In other words, the value of the business must be related to the profits it will earn and the cash it will generate in the future

Income based valuation can be done in 2 ways

  1. Discounted Cash Flow Method (DCF)
  2. Capitalization of Earning Method

DCF takes into account the the present value of the business as a function of its future cash earnings capacity. In this method, the actuary estimates the cash flows of any business after all operating expenses, taxes, and necessary investments in working capital and capital expenditure is being met. Valuing equity using the free cash flow to stockholders requires estimating only free cash flow to equity holders, after debt holders have been paid off.

Given that no data is available to proceed under this method, the 2nd approach is most suitable & possible for valuing this Golf course

Capitalization of earning method - The capitalization method basically divides the expected earnings by the ‘capitalization rate’. The idea is that the business value is defined by the business earnings and the capitalization rate is used to relate the two. This method is more appropriate when it appears that a company’s current operations are indicative of its future operations, assuming of course, a normal growth rate. Under this method a stable level of earnings is divided by a capitalization rate in order to arrive at an operating value for the entity. Where net earnings are being capitalized, the capitalization rate is the net earnings discount rate less the average sustainable growth rate.

Calculation of stable level of earnings

# Particulars Amount
a Gross Profit       6,00,00,000
b Opex      -2,06,00,000
c Profit after Opex (a-b)     3,94,00,000
     
d Operators share (c*40%)      -1,57,60,000
e Int on capital (4000000*9%)           -3,60,000
f Rent      -1,50,00,000
g Cost of Sales         -60,00,000
     
h PBT        22,80,000

Therefore on arriving at the income statement, the stable operating profit per annum is RM 22,80,000 p.a.

Capitalization rate for the business = Required Rate of Return = 10%

So, Value of business = \frac{2280000}{10/100} = RM 22,800,000

Hence, Value of Golf Course under Capitalization of Income Method = RM 22,800,000
