Question
Ward Corp. is expected to have an EBIT of $2.150,000 next year. Depreciation, the increase in net working capital, and capital spending are expected to be $170,000, $95,000, and $120,000, respectively. All are expected to grow at 19 percent per year for four years. The company currently has $15,500,000 in debt and 850,000 shares outstanding. After Year 5, the adjusted cash flow from assets is expected to grow at 3.0 percent indefinitely. The company's WACC is 8.5 percent and the tax rate is 35 percent. What is the price per share of the company's stock? (Do not round intermediate calculations and round your answer to 2 decimal places, e.g., 32.16.) Share priceExplanation / Answer
Expected EBIT = $2,150,000
Depreciation = $170,000
Increase in NWC = $95,000
Capital Spending = $120,000
Tax Rate = 35%
FCF1 = Expected EBIT * (1 - tax) + Depreciation - Increase in NWC - Capital Spending
FCF1 = $2,150,000 * (1 - 0.35) + $170,000 - $95,000 - $120,000
FCF1 = $1,352,500
Growth rate for next 4 years is 19%. Constant Growth rate (g) after 4 years is 3.0%
FCF2 = $1,352,500 * 1.19
FCF2 = $1,609,475
FCF3 = $1,609,475 * 1.19
FCF3 = $1,915,275.25
FCF4 = $1,915,275.25 * 1.19
FCF4 = $2,279,177.55
FCF5 = $2,279,177.55 * 1.19
FCF5 = $2,712,221.28
FCF6 = $2,712,221.28 * 1.03
FCF6 = $2,793,587.92
WACC = 8.50%
Horizon Value of Firm = FCF6 / (WACC - g)
Horizon Value of Firm = $2,793,587.92 / (0.085 - 0.03)
Horizon Value of Firm = $50,792,507.64
Value of Firm = $1,352,500/1.085 + $1,609,475/1.085^2 + $1,915,275.25/1.085^3 + $2,279,177.55/1.085^4 + $2,712,221.28/1.085^5 + $50,792,507.64/1.085^5
Value of Firm = $41,340,876.33
Value of Equity = Value of Firm - Value of Debt
Value of Equity = $41,340,876.33 - $15,500,000
Value of Equity = $25,840,876.33
Share Price = Value of Equity / Number of shares outstanding
Share Price = $25,840,876.33 / 850,000
Share Price = $30.40
