13-1 a. Assets-in-place, also known as operating assets, include the land, buildings,
machines, and inventory that the firm uses in its operations to produce its products
and services. Growth options are not tangible. They include items such as R&D and
customer relationships. Financial, or nonoperating, assets include investments in
marketable securities and non-controlling interests in the stock of other companies.
b. Operating current assets are the current assets used to support operations, such as
cash, accounts receivable, and inventory. It does not include short-term investments.
Operating current liabilities are the current liabilities that are a natural consequence of
the firm’s operations, such as accounts payable and accruals. It does not include
notes payable or any other short-term debt that charges interest. Net operating
working capital is operating current assets minus operating current liabilities.
Operating capital is sum of net operating working capital and operating long-term
assets, such as net plant and equipment. Operating capital also is equal to the net
amount of capital raised from investors. This is the amount of interest-bearing debt
plus preferred stock plus common equity minus short-term investments. NOPAT is
the amount of net income a company would generate if it had no debt and held no
financial assets. NOPAT is a better measure of the performance of a company’s
operations because debt lowers income. In order to get a true reflection of a
company’s operating performance, one would want to take out debt to get a clearer
picture of the situation. Free cash flow is the cash flow actually available for
distribution to investors after the company has made all the investments in fixed
assets and working capital necessary to sustain ongoing operations. It is the most
important measure of cash flows because it shows the exact amount available to all
investors.

c. The value of operations is the present value of all the future free cash flows that are
expected from current assets-in-place and the expected growth of assets-in-place
when discounted at the weighted average cost of capital:
∞
FCFt
Vop(at time 0) = ∑ .
t =1 (1 + WACC)
t
The terminal, or horizon value, is the value of operations at the end of the explicit
forecast period. It is equal to the present value of all free cash flows beyond the
forecast period, discounted back to the end of the forecast period at the weighted
average cost of capital:
FCFN +1 FCFN (1 + g)
Vop(at time N) = = .
WACC − g WACC − g
The corporate valuation model defines the total value of a company as the value of
operations plus the value of nonoperating assets plus the value of growth options.
e. Managerial entrenchment occurs when a company has such a weak board of directors
and has such strong anti-takeover provisions in its corporate charter that senior
managers feel there is very little chance that they will be removed. Non-pecuniary
benefits are perks that are not actual cash payments, such as lavish offices,
memberships at country clubs, corporate jets, and excessively large staffs.
f. Targeted share repurchases, also known as greenmail, occur when a company buys
back stock from a potential acquiror at a higher than fair-market price. In return, the
potential acquiror agrees not to attempt to take over the company. Shareholder rights
provisions, also known as poison pills, allow existing shareholders in a company to
purchase additional shares of stock at a lower than market value if a potential acquiror
purchases a controlling stake in the company. A restricted voting rights provision
automatically deprives a shareholder of voting rights if the shareholder owns more
than a specified amount of stock.

13-2 The first step is to find the value of operations by discounting all expected future free
cash flows at the weighted average cost of capital. The second step is to find the total
corporate value by summing the value of operations, the value of nonoperating assets,
and the value of growth options. The third step is to find the value of equity by
subtracting the value of debt and preferred stock from the total value of the corporation.
The last step is to divide the value of equity by the number of shares of common stock.
13-3 A company can be profitable and yet have an ROIC that is less than the WACC if the
company has large capital requirements. If ROIC is less than the WACC, then the
company is not earning enough on its capital to satisfy its investors. Growth adds even
more capital that is not satisfying investors, hence, growth decreases value.
13-4 Entrenched managers consume to many perquisites, such as lavish offices, excessive
staffs, country club memberships, and corporate jets. They also invest in projects or
acquisitions that make the firm larger, even if they don’t make the firm more valuable.
13-5 Stock options in compensation plans usually are issued with a strike price equal to the
current stock price. As long as the stock price increases, the option will become valuable,
even if the stock price doesn’t increase as much as investors expect.

MINI CASE
You have been hired as a consultant to Kulpa Fishing Supplies (KFS), a company that is
seeking to increase its value. KFS has asked you to estimate the value of two privately
held companies that KFS is considering acquiring. But first, the senior management of
KFS would like for you to explain how to value companies that don’t pay any dividends.
You have structured your presentation around the following questions.
Answer: Assets-in-place are tangible, such as buildings, machines, and inventory. Usually
they are expected to grow. They generate free cash flows. The PV of their expected
future free cash flows, discounted at the WACC, is the value of operations.
d. What is the total value of a corporation? Who has claims on this value?
Answer: Total corporate value is sum of value of operations, value of nonoperating assets, and
value of growth options. (No examples in this chapter have a growth option-- this is
deferred until chapter 15). Debt holders have first claim. Preferred stockholders have
the next claim. Any remaining value belongs to stockholders.

e. 1. The first acquisition target is a privately held company in a mature industry
owned by two brothers, each with 50 shares of stock. The company currently
has free cash flow of $24 million. Its WACC is 11% and it is expected to grow at
a constant rate of 5%. The company owns marketable securities of $100 million.
It is financed with $200 million of debt, $50 million of preferred stock, and $210
million of book equity. What is its value of operations?
Answer:
FCF0 (1 + g )
Vop =
(WACC − g )
24 (1 + 0.05)
Vop = = 420
(0.11 − 0.05)
Answer: Intrinsic stock price per share = Value of equity / Number of shares
= $270 / 10 - $200 - $50
= $27.00
e. 5. What is its MVA (MVA = total corporate value – total book value)?
Answer: MVA = total corporate value of firm minus total book value of firm
total book value of firm = book value of equity + book value of debt
+ book value of preferred stock
MVA = $520 - ($210 + $200 + $50)
= $60 million

f. 1. The second acquisition target is a privately held company in a growing industry.
The target has recently borrowed $40 million to finance its expansion; it has no
other debt or preferred stock. It pays no dividends and currently has no
marketable securities. KFS expects the company to produce free cash flows of -
$5 million in one year, $10 million in two years, and $20 million in three years.
After three years, free cash flow will grow at a rate of 6%. Its WACC is 10%
and it currently has 10 million shares of stock. What is its horizon value (i.e., its
value of operations at year three)? What is its current value of operations (i.e.,
at time zero)?

h. What are the four value drivers? How does each of them affect value?
i. What is expected return on invested capital (EROIC)? Why is the spread between
EROIC and WACC so important?
Answer: EROIC is the return on the capital that is in place at the beginning of the period:
NOPATt +1
EROICt =
Capital t
If the spread between the expected return, ROICt, and the required return, WACC, is
positive, then MVA is positive and growth makes MVA larger. The opposite is true
if the spread is negative.
j. KFS has two divisions. Both have current sales of $1,000, current expected
growth of 5%, and a WACC of 10%. Division A has high profitability (OP=6%)
but high capital requirements (CR=78%). Division B has low profitability
(OP=4%) but low capital requirements (CR=27%). What is the MVA of each
division, based on the current growth of 5%? What is the MVA of each division
if growth is 6%?
Answer:
Sales t (1 + g) CR
MVA t = OP − WACC
WACC − g (1 + g)
Division A Division B
OP 6% 6% 4% 4%
CR 78% 78% 27% 27%
Growth 5% 6% 5% 6%
MVA (300.0) (360.0) 300.0 385.0

k. What is the ROIC of each division for 5% growth and for 6% growth? How is
this related to MVA?
Answer:
Division A Division B
Capital0 $780 $780 $270 $270
Growth 5% 6% 5% 6%
Sales1 $1,050 $1,060 $1,050 $1,060
Nopat1 $63 $63.6 $42 $42.4
Roic1 8.1% 8.2% 15.6% 15.7%
Mva (300.0) (360.0) 300.0 385.0
The expected ROIC of division A is less than the WACC, so the division should
postpone growth efforts until it improves ROIC by reducing capital requirements
(e.g., reducing inventory) and/or improving profitability.
The expected ROIC of division b is greater than the WACC, so the division should
continue with its growth plans.

m. The managers at KFS have heard that corporate governance can affect
shareholder value. What is corporate governance? List five corporate
governance provisions that are internal to a firm and are under its control.
Answer: Corporate governance is the set of laws, rules, and procedures that influence a
company’s operations and the decisions made by its managers.
The provisions under a firm’s control are: (1) monitoring and discipline by the board
of directors; (2) charter provisions and bylaws that affect the likelihood of hostile
takeovers; (3) compensation plans; (4) capital structure choices; and (5) accounting
control systems.
Answer: (1) The CEO is not also the chairman of the board and does not have undue influence
over the nominating committee; (2) the board has a majority of true outsiders who
bring some type of business expertise to the board (and he board is not an interlocked
board); (3) the board is not too large; and (4) board members are compensated
appropriately (not too high, and some compensation is linked to company’s
performance).
.
Answer: These include targeted share repurchases (i.e., greenmail), shareholder rights
provisions (i.e., poison pills), and restricted voting rights plans.
p. Briefly describe the use of stock options in a compensation plan. What are some
potential problems with stock options as a form of compensation?
Answer: Gives owner of option the right to buy a share of the company’s stock at a specified
price (called the strike price) even if the actual stock price is higher. Usually can’t
exercise the option for several years (called the vesting period). Can’t exercise the
option after a certain number of years (called the expiration, or maturity, date).
Manager can underperform market or peer group, yet still reap rewards from options
as long as the stock price increases to above the exercise cost. Options sometimes
encourage managers to falsify financial statements or take excessive risks.

q. What is block ownership? How does it affect corporate governance?
Answer: Block ownership occurs when an outside investor owns large amount (i.e., block) of
company’s shares. Large institutional investors, such as CalPERS or TIAA-CREF,
often own large blocks. Blockholders often monitor managers and take active role,
leading to better corporate governance.
r. Briefly explain how regulatory agencies and legal systems affect corporate
governance.
Answer: Companies in countries with strong protection for investors tend to have better access
to financial markets, a lower cost of equity, increased in market liquidity, and less
noise in stock prices.
