Start with the partial model in the file Ch07 P25 Build a Model.xlsx on the textbook’s Web site. Selected data for the Derby Corporation are shown here. Use the data to answer the following questions. Calculate the estimated horizon value (i.e., the value of operations at the end of the forecast period immediately after the Year-4 free cash flow). Assume growth becomes constant after Year 3. Calculate the present value of the horizon value, the present value of the free cash flows, and the estimated Year-0 value of operations. Calculate the estimated Year-0 price per share of common equity.
Investment advisors estimated the stock market returns for four market segments: computers, financial, manufacturing, and pharmaceuticals. Annual return projections vary depending on whether the general economic conditions are improving, stable, or declining. The anticipated annual return percentages for each market segment under each economic condition are as follows: Assume that an individual investor wants to select one market segment for a new investment. A forecast shows improving to declining economic conditions with the following probabilities: improving (0.2), stable (0.5), and declining (0.3). What is the preferred market segment for the investor, and what is the expected return percentage? At a later date, a revised forecast shows a potential for an improvement in economic conditions. New probabilities are as follows: improving (0.4), stable (0.4), and declining (0.2). What is the preferred market segment for the investor based on these new probabilities? What is the expected return percentage?
