Explanation / Answer

Answer = b. 4.26

Calculation of EV/EBITDA

1) Calculation of EV

EV (Enterprise Value) = Market value of Equity + Preference + Debt + Non Controlling Interest - Cash and Cash Equivalents

EV (In Million) = ($7 + $2 + $10.5+ $1.5 - $1.2) = $19.8

2) EBITDA

EBITDA is earnings before Interest, Tax and Depreciation and amortisation

EBITDA (In Million) = ($3.2 + $0.4 + $0.25 + $0.8) = $4.65

3) Calculation of EV/EBITDA

= ($19.8 Million/$4.65 Million) = 4.26
