LG

Following is the seven-year forecast for LG: (all amounts in $000)

2020 2021 2022 2023 2024 2025 2026
EBIT $(1000) $(900) $200 $1,200 $2,500 $3000 $3,050
Capital Expenditures $550 $350 $200 $175 $175 $160 $150
Changes in Working Capital $400 $300 $200 $100 $100 ($100) ($100)
Depreciation $40 $80 $125 $150 $150 $150 $150

Beginning after year 2026 the annual growth in EBIT is expected to be 1.5%, a rate that is projected to be constant over LG remaining life as an enterprise.   Beginning in 2026 LG capital expenditures and depreciation are expected to offset each other (capex - depreciation = 0) and year to year changes in working capital are expected to be zero (working capital levels remain constant year over year). For discounting purposes consider 2020 as year 1.

Assume a tax rate is 21% and a cost of capital of 7.75%

Calculate the fair market value (NPV) for LG. Assume that the Net Present Value of LG free cash flow for the period 2020 - 2026 is $3000
