Stock Valuation and Cash Flows Fincher Manufacturing has projected sales of $135 million next year. Costs are expected to be $76 million and net investment is expected to be $15 million. Each of these values is expected to grow at 14 percent the following year, with the growth rate declining by 2 percent per year until the growth rate reaches 6 percent, where it is expected to remain indefinitely. There are 5.5 million shares of stock outstanding and investors require a return of 13 percent return on the company’s stock. The corporate tax rate is 40 percent.
- a. What is your estimate of the current stock price?
- b. Suppose instead that you estimate the terminal value of the company using a PE multiple. The industry PE multiple is 11. What is your new estimate of the company’s stock price?
a.
To compute: The current share prices.
Stock Valuation:
Stock valuation is a kind of valuation exercise of stock; basically in this the value of the stock is calculated theoretically and the value of firm is determined. With the help of stock valuation technique the company can predict the future value of stock prices.
Cash Flows:
Cash flow is the inflow and outflow of cash. The initial investment outlay made by the investor to purchase the security is the outflow of cash and the return on this investment to the investor is the inflow of cash from the investment.
Explanation of Solution
Given,
Number of share outstanding is 5,500,000.
Calculated values,
Present value of the company is $343,007,648.
Formula to calculate the current share price is,
Substitute $343,007,648 for present value of the company and 5,500,000 for number of share outstanding in the above equation.
Working notes:
Statement that shows the cash flows of six years.
Table (1)
Calculate terminal value in the 6th year.
Calculate present value of cash flows,
Thus, the value of current stock price is $62.37.
b.
To compute: New estimate of company’sstock price.
Explanation of Solution
Given,
Number of share outstanding is 5,500,000.
Calculated values,
Present value of the company is $405,165,117.
Formula to calculate the current share price is,
Substitute $405,165,117 for present value of the company and 5,500,000 for number of share outstanding in the above equation.
Working notes:
Calculate terminal value if price earning multiple is 11 and earnings after tax is $56,917,844,
Calculate present value of cash flows,
Thus, the value of current stock price is $73.67.

CORPORATE FINANCE >C<
- WACC Estimation On January 1, the total market value of the Tysseland Company was $60 million. During the year, the company plans to raise and invest $30 million in new projects. The firm’s present market value capital structure, shown here, is considered to be optimal. There is no short-term debt. New bonds will have an 8% coupon rate, and they will be sold at par. Common stock is currently selling at $30 a share. The stockholders’ required rate of return is estimated to be 12%, consisting of a dividend yield of 4% and an expected constant growth rate of 8%. (The next expected dividend is $1.20, so the dividend yield is $1.20/$30 = 4%.) The marginal tax rate is 40%. In order to maintain the present capital structure, how much of the new investment must be financed by common equity? Assuming there is sufficient cash flow for Tysseland to maintain its target capital structure without issuing additional shares of equity, what is its WACC? Suppose now that there is not enough internal cash flow and the firm must issue new shares of stock. Qualitatively speaking, what will happen to the WACC? No numbers are required to answer this question.arrow_forwardDividend Payout The Wei Corporation expects next year’s net income to be $15 million. The firm is currently financed with 40% debt. Wei has $12 million of profitable investment opportunities, and it wishes to maintain its existing debt ratio. According to the residual distribution model (assuming all payments are in the form of dividends), how large should Wei’s dividend payout ratio be next year?arrow_forwardCALCULATING THE WACC Here is the condensed 2019 balance sheet for Skye Computer Company (in thousands of dollars): Skyes earnings per share last year were 3.20. The common stock sells for 55.00. last years dividend (D0) was 2.10, and a flotation cost of 10% would be required to sell new common stock. Security analysts are projecting that the common dividend will grow at an annual rate of 9%. Skyes preferred stock pays a dividend of 3.30 per share, and its preferred stock sells for 30.00 per share. The firms before-lax cost of debt is 10%, and its marginal tax rate is 25%. The firms currently outstanding 10% annual coupon rate, long-term debt sells at par value. The market risk premium is 5%, the risk-free rate is 6%, and Skyes beta is 1.516. The firms total debt, which is the sum of the companys short-term debt and long-term debt, equals 1.2 million. a. Calculate the cost of each capital component, that is, the after-tax cost of debt, the cost of preferred stock, the cost of equity from retained earnings, and the cost of newly issued common stock. Use the DCF method to find the cost of common equity. b. Now calculate the cost of common equity from retained earnings, using the CAPM method. c. What is the cost of new common stock based on the CAPM? (Hint: Find the difference between r1 and rs as determined by the DCF method, and add that differential to the CAPM value for rs.) d. If Skye continues to use the same market-value capital structure, what is the firms WACC assuming that (1) it uses only retained earnings for equity and (2) if it expands so rapidly that it must issue new common stock?arrow_forward
