Cibaca for instance has been bought by Colgate for a sum of Rs. 1310 million.  If Cibaca’s equity is Rs.1310 million, what is the equity of Colgate? Perhaps since Colgate has about 17 times as much turnover as Cibaca, if we multiply the equity of Cibaca with a factor of 17 we will arrive at Colgate’s. That puts it at Rs. 22,270 million.
