<div><em><strong>smsnead2</strong> asked: </em></p>
<p>I&#8217;m doing a little research on accounting &amp; consulting fees. I work for a nationwide niche firm that has about 1,500 accounting clients (including tax prep) averaging about 700-800K per year in operating revenue. I believe we are undercharging for our services. Our average accounting fees are about 1% of revenue or 7-8K per year on an average client. We do perform some other services like collections, payroll, financial planning, etc. on some clients raising the total amount to 1.2-1.3%. Do those seem like appropriate percentages? I&#8217;m curious what type of benchmarks others have in their accounting and tax businesses or if anyone knows of a good source of information for this type of thing. Any input would be much appreciated as I am looking to possibly buy this business in the future.</p>

<div><em><strong>Richie G</strong> asked: </em></p>
<p>Hey,<br />
I have to calculate the &#8216;Current Market Value&#8217; of a firm, and i&#8217;m only given this data:</p>
<p>Annual net free cash flows are $365000.<br />
Risk-free interest rate is 6.25%pa.<br />
Total book value of assets of $3.1m.<br />
Standard deviation of firms stock return is 27%.<br />
Cost of capital of 16% per year.<br />
Shareholders represent a total of at least 55% of the equity.<br />
Future Value of $1 invested in a similar firm with similar risk: $1.20 in good economy, $0.85 in bad economy.<br />
Other company take over bid offer: $11m</p>
<p>My problem is, i thought Current Market Value = (Share Price * Number of Shares) + Debt. I think Debt is the book value of 3.1m, but i cant seem to find the price of the shares or how many there are to calculate the equity&#8230; Am i on the right track, or have i missed the point completly&#8230;? any help would be greatly appreciated.<br />
Cheers<br />
Richie</p>
