Assignment Topic XYZ Ltd is a diversified company that owns more than 20 subsidiary companies spanning many sectors of the economy. It is considering buying all the issued ordinary shares of a competitor company. The problem for XYZ Ltd is that the takeover target does not have its shares listed on the stock exchange. Accordingly it is not possible to obtain from the market a price for the target’s ordinary shares. The board of directors of XYZ Ltd. has given you the task of providing an estimate of the intrinsic value of the target’s ordinary shares. i. What model would you recommend using to determine the intrinsic value? Explain the reasons for your selection? ii. What data does the model require you to determine the intrinsic value? iii. How could you estimate the dividend growth rate and the required rate of return? Note: Maximum word is 2000 except content list cover page and references. 4. Referencing Correct referencing is important for two main reasons. The first is to enable the reader to access source material you have relied upon should they care to. The other is to ensure that you have properly recognized the contribution of the work of others to your assignment. If you do not do this properly you are engaging in plagiarism—the theft intentional or otherwise of the intellectual or creative work of others. 9.
