CORPORATE VALUATION
Brandtly Industries invests a large sum of money in R&D; as a result, it retains and reinvests all of its earnings. In other words, Brandtly does not pay any dividends, and it has no plans to pay dividends in the near future. A major pension fund is interested in purchasing Brandtly's stock. The pension fund manager has estimated Brandtly's free cash flows for the next 4 years as follows: $2 million, $5 million, $10 million, and $15 million. After the fourth year, free cash flow is projected to grow at a constant 4%. Brandtly's WACC is 13%, the market value of its debt and preferred stock totals $40 million; and it has 20 million shares of common stock outstanding.

Explanation / Answer
FCF1 = $2,000,000
FCF2 = $5,000,000
FCF3 = $10,000,000
FCF4 = $15,000,000
Constant Growth Rate, g = 4%
WACC = 13%
FCF5 = $15,000,000 * 1.04
FCF5 = $15,600,000
Horizon Value, V4 = FCF5 / (WACC - g)
Horizon Value, V4 = $15,600,000 / (0.13 - 0.04)
Horizon Value, V4 = $173,333,333.33
Firm’s Total Value = $2,000,000 / 1.13 + $5,000,000 / 1.13^2 + $10,000,000 / 1.13^3 + $15,000,000 / 1.13^4 + $173,333,333.33 / 1.13^4
Firm’s Total Value = $128,124,506.92
