In Roger Montgomery’s book, Value.able, emphasis is placed on determining the Intrinsic Value of a share and hence the business.
2 tables are presented (Tables 11.1 & 11.2) to assist with this determination.
No problem.
The one column on the tables is the Return on Equity – an essential requirement for the calculation of intrinsic value.
However the tables stop at a Return on Equity of 60%.
What if the Return on Equity of a share is higher than 60%?
For example, the share, Tamawood (TWD) has a Return on Equity above 70%.
Hence the tables 11.1 and 11.2 need to list Returns on Equity above 60%.
Is there any source available to get an extension of these tables?
Thank you.

Hi Michael,
The tables are derived from a formula The formula is a little cumbersome to set out in this forum but suffice to say that the ratio of intrinsic value to book value increases.
