The free cash flow for the last year is $361M. The expected growth rate is 8% for the next three years and 2.5% after that. If WACC is 10%, estimate the value of this firm.
B. $ 5,714M
As per discounted cash flow method, value of firm the present value of cash flows. | ||||||||
Step-1:Present Value of non-constant growing cash flow | ||||||||
Year | Cash flow | Discount factor | Present Value | |||||
a | b | c=1.1^-a | d=b*c | |||||
1 | 390 | 0.909091 | 354 | |||||
2 | 421 | 0.826446 | 348 | |||||
3 | 455 | 0.751315 | 342 | |||||
Total | 1,044 | |||||||
Working: | ||||||||
Cash flow of Year: | ||||||||
1 | = | 361 | * | 1.08 | = | 390 | ||
2 | = | 390 | * | 1.08 | = | 421 | ||
3 | = | 421 | * | 1.08 | = | 455 | ||
Step-2:Present Value of constant growing cash flow | ||||||||
Present Value | = | FCF3*(1+g)/(Ke-g)*DF3 | ||||||
= | 4,669 | |||||||
Where, | ||||||||
FCF3 | = | free cash flow of year 3 | = | 455 | ||||
g | = | Growth rate | = | 2.50% | ||||
Ke | = | Required return | = | 10% | ||||
DF3 | = | Discount factor of year 3 | = | 0.751315 | ||||
Step-3:Value of firm calculation | ||||||||
Value of firm | = | Present Value of cash flow of first 3 years | + | Present Value of cash flow of after first 3 years | ||||
= | 1,044 | + | 4,669 | |||||
= | 5,714 | |||||||
