By using net asset value approach, compute the fair market values of LTC Biotech Ltd, supporting with your own logical assumptions.(show all the calculation procedures and formula and results.)
  

• The market value of the premises of LTC Biotech Ltd was estimated to be between £31 million and £33 million.
• The sales revenue of LTC Biotech Ltd is expected to grow at about 2 or 3 per cent each year over the next five years. The market is fairly competitive and there is little prospect of improved growth rate over this period. Thereafter, sales are likely to stabilise.
• Operating profit margins (profits/sales) are likely to remain at their historic levels, which are between 9 and 11 per cent, for the foreseeable future.
• Replacement costs of non-current assets will be more or less in line with the annual depreciation charge. In addition, however, the company is committed to a major upgrade of plant and equipment costing £1.5 million over the next three years. The cost of this upgrade would be spread evenly over the three-year period.
• Additional working capital over the next 5 years will be 20 per cent of sales growth.
• An exceptional dividend had been paid during the year to Year 2022 of £2,800,000. In previous years, the dividend paid had varied between £250,000 and £310,000.
