EV/Ebitda

in calculating the enterprise value, why do we add minority interest?

because the company does not own that part. Company just owns Cash and Investments. Debt (Short and long term) and equities (Common and Preferred) are liabilities to the company along with Min Interest.

that’s the concept that i was having trouble with. thanks much boston. you answered my second question as well, which was, why subtract out the cash?
