答案和详解如下: 1.Using the information below, value the stock of Symphony Publishing, Inc. using the free cash flow from equity (FCFE) valuation method. §
Required return of 13.0%. §
Value at the end of year 3 of 13 times FCFE3. §
Shares outstanding: 10.0 million. §
Net income in year 1 of $10.0 million, projected to grow at 10% for the next two years. §
Depreciation per year of $3.0 million. §
Capital Expenditures per year of $2.5 million. §
Increase in working capital per year of $1.0 million. §
Principal repayments on debt per year of $1.5 million. The value per share of Symphony Publishing is approximately: A) $112.10. B) $16.90. C) $14.10. D) $11.21. The correct answer was D) Step 1: Calculate each year’s FCFE and discount at the required return
§
FCFE = net income + depreciation – capital expenditures – increase in working capital – principal repayments + new debt issues §
Year 1: 10.0 + 3.0 – 2.5 – 1.0 – 1.5 = 8.0, §
PV = 7.08 = 8.0 / (1.13)1, or FV=-8.0, I/Y=13, PMT=0, N = 1, Compute PV §
Year 2: 10.0 * (1.10) + 3.0 – 2.5 – 1.0 – 1.5 = 9.0, §
PV = 7.05 = 9.0 / (1.13)2, or FV=-9.0, I/Y=13, PMT=0, N = 2, Compute PV §
Year 3: 10.0 * (1.10)2 + 3.0 – 2.5 – 1.0 – 1.5 = 10.10 §
PV = 7.00 = 10.10 / (1.13)3, or FV=-10.10, I/Y=13, PMT=0, N = 3, Compute PV Step 2: Calculate Present Value of final cash flow times FCFE multiple §
Value at end of year 3 = FCFE3 * multiple = 10.10 * 13 = 131.30 §
PV = 91.00 = 131.30 / (1.13)3 , or using calculator, N=3, FV=-131.30, I/Y=13, PMT=0, Compute PV Step 3: Calculate per share value
§
Add up PV of FCFE and end value and divide by number of shares outstanding §
= (7.08 + 7.05 + 7.00 + 91.0) / 10.0 = 11.21
2.A firm currently has sales per share of $10.00, and expects sales to grow by 25 percent next year. The net profit margin is expected to be 15 percent.
