•Suppose FCFE = $900,000 for years 1-4 and then is expected to grow at a rate of 3%. Assume ke = 18%. What is the market value of equity?
Cost of equity (ke) = 18%
Free Cash Flow to Equity shareholders (FCFE) from years 1 to 4 = $900,000
Growth in FCFE after year 4
Using Gordon's dividend growth model,
Terminal value of FCFE at the end of year 4 = FCFE5 / (ke-g) = FCFE4 x (1+g) / (ke-g)
Terminal value of FCFE at the end of year 4 = 900,000 x (1+3%) / (18%-3%) = $ 6,180,000
Therefore market value of equity:
Year | FCFE | PVF @ 15% | PV |
1 | 900,000 | 0.870 | 782,609 |
2 | 900,000 | 0.756 | 680,529 |
3 | 900,000 | 0.658 | 591,765 |
4 | 900,000 | 0.572 | 514,578 |
(Terminal value) 4 | 6,180,000 | 0.572 | 3,533,435 |
Market Value of Equity | 6,102,916 |
Thumbs up please if satisfied. Thanks :)
