The Current Value at Your Business

There’s an important formula in business. Actually, there are a lot. And, it’s not quite baby antidote. And it’s not one of those business 101’s. But it might be one of those insider tips and tricks that can help you make the balance sheet a little better. It’s called, ‘The buy/sell valuation.’ But that’s actually the book’s name. Some might use shares multiplied current share price, or something simpler like value equals assets minus liabilities. Here is another formula to give you more mathematical analytics. It might require comparing various values.

This is a form of a corporate valuation formula and method, Current Value = (Asset Value)/(1 - Debt Ratio). It’s the equation you use to see if you want to go to work for a company. What are you worth? Don’t you think you should look at a company’s debt and possibly it’s ratio. You might, also, want to know what type of ‘toys’ the company has—their assets. It’s just a small tip and equation to use that makes you seem a little smarter, at least by some professors. Punch in the numbers and find out how important the debt ratio is to know how much you are actually worth. It might be surprising. Besides, we all know you want a small conservative ratio. But some companies probably want higher risk-talking to execs like you.

Remember, sometimes you want the bottom number as close to zero as possible. Those companies are always looking for help, but notice the current value. That means a larger debt ratio, but less than 1. Are you able to calculate current value and know if those are ideal ratios?
