a) It provides a more accurate measure of asset value compared to earnings-based methods.
Scenario: You are an analyst evaluating an oil and gas production company. You have gathered the following information:
Task:
1. Annual Cash Flow Calculation: * **Year 1:** (1 million boe * $70/boe) - (1 million boe * $30/boe) - $50 million = -$10 million * **Year 2:** (0.9 million boe * $70/boe) - (0.9 million boe * $30/boe) - $20 million = -$8 million * **Year 3:** (0.81 million boe * $70/boe) - (0.81 million boe * $30/boe) - $10 million = -$4.89 million * **Year 4:** (0.729 million boe * $70/boe) - (0.729 million boe * $30/boe) = $29.16 million * **Year 5:** (0.6561 million boe * $70/boe) - (0.6561 million boe * $30/boe) = $26.04 million 2. Terminal Value Calculation: * **Year 5 Production:** 0.6561 million boe * **Terminal Year Production:** 0.6561 million boe * 0.9 = 0.5905 million boe * **Terminal Value:** (0.5905 million boe * $70/boe) - (0.5905 million boe * $30/boe) = $23.62 million 3. Present Value of Cash Flows: * **Year 1:** -$10 million / (1 + 10%)^1 = -$9.09 million * **Year 2:** -$8 million / (1 + 10%)^2 = -$6.72 million * **Year 3:** -$4.89 million / (1 + 10%)^3 = -$3.67 million * **Year 4:** $29.16 million / (1 + 10%)^4 = $19.75 million * **Year 5:** $26.04 million / (1 + 10%)^5 = $15.68 million * **Terminal Value (Year 5):** $23.62 million / (1 + 10%)^5 = $14.41 million 4. Total Present Value: * Total Present Value = -$9.09 million - $6.72 million - $3.67 million + $19.75 million + $15.68 million + $14.41 million = **$20.40 million** Therefore, the total present value of the oil and gas asset is $20.40 million.
