Under the Net Operating Income (NOI) approach, a firm has EBIT of Rs 6,00,000 and overall cost of capital of 12%. Its debt is Rs 20,00,000. What is the value of equity?

Value of the firm is EBIT divided by overall cost of capital, which is 6,00,000 divided by 12%, giving Rs 50,00,000. Subtracting debt of Rs 20,00,000 gives equity value of Rs 30,00,000 under the NOI approach.

  1. ARs 30,00,000Correct
  2. BRs 50,00,000
  3. CRs 70,00,000
  4. DRs 20,00,000

Explanation

Under NOI, firm value V = EBIT / Ko = 6,00,000 / 0.12 = Rs 50,00,000. Equity = V - Debt = 50,00,000 - 20,00,000 = Rs 30,00,000. Rs 50,00,000 is wrong because it is total firm value, not equity.
