Question: Use the report writing guide from the course website, performing the analysis and answering the questions that follow:
1. Ms. Ahmad originally approached the company, Peterson Accounting, when she discovered problems with her faulty title to the vacant land. She hired the company to value the hotel property so she could provide lenders an independent appraisal of the collateral value of the property.
Peterson Accounting researched valuation approaches used to determine most banks' collateral value of bed and breakfast Inns in the Springfield area and discovered that most bank appraisers calculate the collateral value using the expected value approach. They place weights on appraisals that result from two methods. First, many bed and breakfast operations are valued at four times the past two years' average gross margin. Appraisers assume that this appraisal is correct about 40% of the time, and accordingly place a 40% weight on the number derived from this method. Second, many properties are valued by taking the present value of the average of the past three years' cash flows discounted at an 8% discount rate for 10 years. (Appraisers assume that the past cash flows are a good estimate of future cash flows and those cash flows should continue for 10 years in the future.) Appraisers place a weight of 60% on the number derived from this method.
Using the income statement and footnotes for Motel Costa Mesa for the past three years provided by the existing owner's accountant to help in the appraisal process, verify the value of the hotel determined by Peterson Accounting by using:
a. Four times the past two years' average gross margin
b. The present value of the average of the past three years' cash flows discounted at 8% for the next 10 years. In order to solve it, first get an estimate of cash flow from operations for the three years. Then discount the average of this amount at 8% for 10 years to determine the hotel's implied value.
c. Combine the values calculated in a) and b) using the weights provided. What is the appraised value of the Bed and Breakfast? Assume the appraised value is the total amount that the bank will loan Ms. Ahmad unless Ms. Ahmad either pays 25% of the purchase in cash or pledges to the bank a first priority lien on the vacant land as collateral. If Ms. Ahmad has $500,000 available as a down payment, could she have borrowed enough money based on this appraisal without pledging the vacant land as collateral?
d. Should Peterson Accounting have relied on the income statement and footnote information provided by Ms. Amsted's accountant? Why or why not?
