Question

XX Corporation is a fast-growing supplier of office products. Analysts project the following free cash flows (FCFs) during the next 3 years, after which FCF is expected to grow at a constant 7% rate. Dozier's weighted average cost of capital is WACC = 14%. Year 1 2 3 Free cash flow ($ millions) -$20 $30 $40

What is the current value of operations for Dozier? Round your answer to two decimal places. Round intermediate calculations to two decimal places. $ X million Suppose Dozier has $10 million in marketable securities, $100 million in debt, and 10 million shares of stock.

What is the intrinsic price per share? Round your answer to the nearest cent. Round intermediate calculations to two decimal places.

Explanation / Answer

We first need to compute the horizon value:

Horizon value= FCF3 x (1+g) / (R-g)

                        = 40 x (1+0.07)/ (0.14-0.07)

                        = 611.4286

Now we will calculate PV of cash flows by multiplying the cash flow with the PV factor:

Hence, the value of firm’s operations is 480.32 million

Value of equity = Value of operations + marketable securities – Debt

                                = 480.32 million + 10million – 100 million

                                = 390.32 million

Intrinsic value per share = value of equity/ no. of shares

= 390.32 million / 10 million

= 39.03
