27.Using the APV model, calculate the intrinsic value of HCB's equity as of the end of 2017??

28. Using the FCFE model, calculate the intrinsic value of HCB's equity as of the end of 2017??

Explanation / Answer

HCB's tax shield at the end of year 2017= Interest expense* tax rate= 2.8* 0.4= 1.12$ million.

2. Adjusted Present value= Value of unlevered firm+ PV of tax shield of interest= 17/0.10+ 1.12$ M= 171.12$ Million.

3. Intrinsic value using FCFE model= FCFE1/ ke-g

14/0.12- 0.05= 200$ million.
