At the end of the year 2004 the Office Equipment Industry had free cash flow to equity (FCFE)
of $2.50 per share. The following annual growth rates in FCFE are projected:
Year
Growth Rate
2005
10%
2006
15%
2007
20%
2008
25%
2009
20%
2010
15%
2011
10%
2012
7%
From year 2013 onward growth in FCFE is expected to remain constant at 5% per year. The
industry has a beta of 0.90 and the current industry price is $105. Currently the yield on 10-year
Treasury notes is 5% and the equity risk premium is 4%
5. Calculate the required rate of return on equity. (Hint: derived from CAPM)
6. Calculate the present value now (Year 2004) of FCFE during the period of increasing growth
(that is for years 2005 to 2008).
7. Calculate the present value now (Year 2004) of FCFE during the period of constant growth
(that is for years 2013 onwards).
8. Calculate the intrinsic value of the industry now (Year 2004).

Church Inc. is presently enjoying relatively high growth because of a surge in the demand for its new product. Management expects earnings and dividends to grow at a rate of 2.8% for the next 4 years, after which competition will probably reduce the growth rate in earnings and dividends to zero, i.e., g = 0. The company’s most recent dividend, D0, was $2.69, and its required rate of return is 15%. What is the expected Horizon Value at t=4?
