Corporate Valuation and Stock Valuation
ANSWERS TO END-OF-CHAPTER QUESTIONS
7-1 a. A proxy is a document giving one person the authority to act for another, typically the
power to vote shares of common stock. If earnings are poor and stockholders are
dissatisfied, an outside group may solicit the proxies in an effort to overthrow
management and take control of the business, known as a proxy fight. The preemptive
right gives the current shareholders the right to purchase any new shares issued in
proportion to their current holdings. The preemptive right may or may not be required
by state law. When granted, the preemptive right enables current owners to maintain
their proportionate share of ownership and control of the business. It also prevents the
sale of shares at low prices to new stockholders which would dilute the value of the
previously issued shares. Classified stock is sometimes created by a firm to meet
special needs and circumstances. Generally, when special classifications of stock are
used, one type is designated “Class A”, another as “Class B”, and so on. Class A might
be entitled to receive dividends before dividends can be paid on Class B stock. Class
B might have the exclusive right to vote. Founders’ shares are stock owned by the
firm’s founders that have sole voting rights but restricted dividends for a specified
number of years.

b. The free cash flow model defines the total value of a company as the value of operations
plus the value of nonoperating assets.
The value of operations is the present value of all the future expected free cash
flows when discounted at the weighted average cost of capital:

FCFt
Vop(at time 0)   .
t 1 1  WACC 
t
Nonoperating assets include investments in marketable securities and non-

controlling interests in the stock of other companies, and other financial securities.
c. Constant growth occurs when a firm’s earnings, dividends, and free cash flows grow
at some constant long-term rate. In this situation, the constant growth model can be
used to estimate the present value of the growing cash flows or dividends. For free cash
flows, the present value is:
FCF1 FCF0 (1  g L )
Vop (constant growth) = =
WACC  g L WACC  g L
When applied to dividends, the model is:

or in part.
The horizon date is the last year in a cash flow forecast. Cash flows may grow
unevenly during the forecast period, but are assumed to grow at a constant rate for all
periods after the horizon date.
The horizon value is the value all cash flows beyond the horizon date when
discounted back to the horizon date.
When applied to free cash flows, the 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. Because growth after the horizon is constant, the
constant growth model can be applied at the horizon date:
FCFT 1 FCFT (1  g L )
HVT  Vop(at time T)   .
WACC  g L WACC  g L
When applied to dividends, the horizon value is the intrinsic stock price at the end
of the explicit forecast period. It is equal to the present value of all dividends beyond
the forecast period, discounted back to the end of the forecast period at the required
rate of return on stock. Because growth after the horizon is constant, the constant
growth model can be applied at the horizon date:
̂ T = DT+1 = DT (1+gL)
Horizon value for stock = P
rs -gL rs -gL
d. A multistage model is used when the growth rate is nonconstant for several years before
becoming constant. In this case, the constant growth model is applied at the end of the
forecast horizon when the growth rate has become constant. The total present value of
cash flows is the present value of all cash flows in the forecast periods plus the present
value of the horizon value:

or in part.
e. Estimated value ( P̂0 ) is the present value of the expected future cash flows. The market
price (P0) is the price at which an asset can be sold.
f. The required rate of return on common stock, denoted by rs, is the minimum acceptable
rate of return considering both its riskiness and the returns available on other
investments. The expected rate of return, denoted by ^rs, is the rate of return expected
on a stockn given its current price and expected future cash flows. If the stock is in
equilibrium, the required rate of return will equal the expected rate of return. The
realized (actual) rate of return, denoted by r̄ s, is the rate of return that was actually
realized at the end of some holding period. Although expected and required rates of
return must always be positive, realized rates of return over some periods may be
negative.
g. The capital gains yield results from changing prices and is calculated as (P1 - P0)/P0,
where P0 is the beginning-of-period price and P1 is the end-of-period price. For a
constant growth stock, the capital gains yield is g, the constant growth rate. The
dividend yield on a stock can be defined as either the end-of-period dividend divided
by the beginning-of-period price, or the ratio of the current dividend to the current
price. Valuation formulas use the former definition. The expected total return, or
expected rate of return, is the expected capital gains yield plus the expected dividend
yield on a stock. The expected total return on a bond is the yield to maturity.
h. Preferred stock is a hybrid--it is similar to bonds in some respects and to common stock
in other respects. Preferred dividends are similar to interest payments on bonds in that
they are fixed in amount and generally must be paid before common stock dividends
can be paid. If the preferred dividend is not earned, the directors can omit it without
throwing the company into bankruptcy. So, although preferred stock has a fixed
payment like bonds, a failure to make this payment will not lead to bankruptcy. Most
preferred stocks entitle their owners to regular fixed dividend payments.
7-2 True. The value of a share of stock is the PV of its expected future dividends. If the two
investors expect the same future dividend stream, and they agree on the stock’s riskiness,
then they should reach similar conclusions as to the stock’s value.
7-3 A perpetual bond is similar to a no-growth stock and to a share of preferred stock in the
following ways:
1. All three derive their values from a series of cash inflows--coupon payments from the
perpetual bond, and dividends from both types of stock.

or in part.
2. All three are assumed to have indefinite lives with no maturity value (M) for the
perpetual bond and no capital gains yield for the stocks.
7-4 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.

Step 1: Calculate the required rate of return on the stock:
rs = rRF + (rM - rRF)b = 7.5% + (4%)1.2 = 12.3%.
Step 2: Calculate the expected dividends:
D0 = $2.00
D1 = $2.00(1.20) = $2.40
D2 = $2.00(1.20)2 = $2.88
D3 = $2.88(1.07) = $3.08
Step 3: Calculate the PV of the expected dividends:
PVDiv = $2.40/(1.123) + $2.88/(1.123)2 = $2.14 + $2.28 = $4.42.
Step 4: Calculate P̂2 :
P̂2 = D3/(rs – g) = $3.08/(0.123 – 0.07) = $58.11.
Step 5: Calculate the PV of P̂2 :
PV = $58.11/(1.123)2 = $46.08.
Step 6: Sum the PVs to obtain the stock’s price:
P̂0 = $4.42 + $46.08 = $50.50.
Alternatively, using a financial calculator, input the following:
CF0 = 0, CF1 = 2.40, and CF2 = 60.99 (2.88 + 58.11) and then enter I/YR = 12.3 to solve
for NPV = $50.50.

Step 1: Calculate the required rate of return:

Step 3: Calculate P̂3 :

Alternatively, you could calculate D4 and then use the constant growth rate formula to solve
for P̂3 :
D4 = D1(1 + g)3 = $3.00(1.025)3 = $3.2307.

P̂3 = $3.2307/(0.10 – 0.025) = $43.0756  $43.08.

*We know that r is 12%, and the dividend yield is 5.10%; therefore, the capital gains
yield must be 6.90%.
The main points to note here are as follows:
1. The total yield is always 12% (except for rounding errors).
2. The capital gains yield starts relatively high, then declines as the nonconstant
growth period approaches its end. The dividend yield rises.
3. After t = 5, the stock will grow at a 5% rate. The dividend yield will equal 7%, the
capital gains yield will equal 5%, and the total return will be 12%.

Part 2.
Expected dividend yield: D1/P0 = $3.25/$78.35 = 4.15%.
Capital gains yield: First, find P̂1 which equals the sum of the present values of D2 and
P̂2 , discounted for one year.

P̂1 = D2/(1.12) + P̂2 /(1.12) = = $84.50.

Calculator solution: Input 0, 94.64 (4.225 + 90.415) into the cash flow register, input

Second, find the capital gains yield:
P̂1  P0 $84.50  $78.35

= = 7.85%.
P0 $78.35
Dividend yield = 4.15%

Capital gains yield = 7.85
12.00% = rs.
b. Due to the longer period of supernormal growth, the value of the stock will be higher
for each year. Although the total return will remain the same, rs = 12%, the distribution
between dividend yield and capital gains yield will differ: The dividend yield will start
off lower and the capital gains yield will start off higher for the 5-year nonconstant
growth condition, relative to the 2-year nonconstant growth state. The dividend yield
will increase and the capital gains yield will decline over the 5-year period until divi-
dend yield = 5% and capital gains yield = 7%.
c. Throughout the nonconstant growth period, the total yield will be 12%, but the dividend
yield is relatively low during the early years of the nonconstant growth period and the
capital gains yield is relatively high. As we near the end of the nonconstant growth
period, the capital gains yield declines and the dividend yield rises. After the
nonconstant growth period has ended, the capital gains yield will equal gn = 7%. The
total yield must equal rs = 12%, so the dividend yield must equal 12% - 7% = 5%.

d. Some investors need cash dividends (retired people) while others would prefer growth.
Also, investors must pay taxes each year on the dividends received during the year,
while taxes on capital gains can be delayed until the gain is actually realized.

MINI CASE
Your employer, a mid-sized human resources management company, is considering

expansion into related fields, including the acquisition of Temp Force Company, an
employment agency that supplies word processor operators and computer programmers to
businesses with temporary heavy workloads. Your employer is also considering the purchase
of Biggerstaff & McDonald (B&M), a privately held company owned by two friends, each
with 5 million shares of stock. B&M currently has free cash flow of $24 million, which is
expected to grow at a constant rate of 5%. B&M’s financial statements report short-term
investments of $100 million, debt of $200 million, and preferred stock of $50 million. B&M’s
weighted average cost of capital (WACC) is 11%. Answer the following questions.
a. Describe briefly the legal rights and privileges of common stockholders.

Answer: The common stockholders are the owners of a corporation, and as such, they have
certain rights and privileges as described below.
1. Ownership implies control. Thus, a firm’s common stockholders have the right to
elect its firm’s directors, who in turn elect the officers who manage the business.
2. Common stockholders often have the right, called the preemptive right, to purchase
any additional shares sold by the firm. In some states, the preemptive right is
automatically included in every corporate charter; in others, it is necessary to insert
it specifically into the charter.
b. What is free cash flow (FCF)? What is the weighted average cost of capital? What
is the free cash flow valuation model?
Answer: Free cash flow (FCF) is the cash flow available for distribution to all of a company’s
investors. FCF is generated by a company’s operations.
The weighted average cost of capital (WACC) is the overall rate of return required by
all of the company’s investors. The PV of their expected future free cash flows,
discounted at the WACC, is the value of operations. This is the essence of the FCF
valuation model.

Nonoperating assets are marketable securities and ownership of non-controlling

interest in another company. The value of nonoperating assets usually is very close to
figure that is reported on balance sheets.
c. Use a pie chart to illustrate the sources that comprise a hypothetical company’s total
value. Using another pie chart, show the claims on a company’s value. How is equity
a residual claim?
Answer: Total corporate value is sum of value of operations and value of nonoperating assets.
Some company’s also have growth options, but assume they are negligible for this
company. Debt holders have first claim. Preferred stockholders have the next claim.
Any remaining value belongs to stockholders.

e. 4. What is its estimated intrinsic stock price per share?
Answer: Intrinsic stock price per share = Value of equity / Number of shares

f. 1. You have just learned that B&M has undertaken a major expansion that will
change its expected free cash flows to −$10 million in 1 year, $20 million in 2
years, and $35 million in 3 years. After 3 years, free cash flow will grow at a rate
of 5%. No new debt or preferred stock were added, the investment was financed
by equity from the owners. Assume the WACC is unchanged at 11% and that
there are still 10 million shares of stock outstanding. What is its horizon value (i.e.,
its value of operations at year three)? What is its current value of operations (i.e.,

Year 0 is due to cash flows from Years 4 and beyond? Hint: use the horizon value
Mini Case: 7 - 24
or in part.
at t = 3 to help answer this question.
Answer: First, calculate the present value of the horizon value. Then divide the present value
of the horizon value by the Year 0 value of operations. This will show what percent
of value is due to cash flows occurring 4 or more years in the future.
Vop,0 = $480.67
HV3 = $612.50
PV of HV3 = $612.50/(1+0.11)3 = $447.855
Percent of value due to cash flows from Year 4 and beyond:
% due to long-term = (PV of HV3) / Vop,0 = $447.855 / $480.67 = 0.93 = 93%
h. Based on your answer to the previous question, what are two reasons why
managers often emphasize short-term earnings?
Answer: 1. Changes in quarterly earnings can signal changes future in cash flows. This would
affect the current stock price.
2. Managers often have bonuses tied to quarterly earnings, so they have incentive to
manage earnings.
i. Your employer also is considering the acquistion of Hatfield Medical Supplies.

You have gathered the following data regarding Hatfield, with all dollars reported
in millions: (1) most recent sales of $2,000; (2) most recent total net operating
capital, OpCap = $1,120; (3) most recent operating profitability ratio, OP =
NOPAT/Sales = 4.5%; and (4) most recent capital requirement ratio, CR =
OpCap/Sales = 56%. You estimate that the growth rate in sales from Year 0 to
Year 1 will be 10%, from Year 1 to Year 2 will be 8%, from Year 2 to Year 3 will
be 5%, and from Year 3 to Year 4 will be 5%. You also estimate that the long-
term growth rate beyond Year 4 will be 5%. Assume the operating profitability
and capital requirement ratios will not change. Use this information to forecast
Hatfield's sales, net operating profit after taxes (NOPAT), OpCap, free cash flow,
and return on invested capital (ROIC) for Years 1 through 4. Also estimate the
annual growth in free cash flow for Years 2 through 4. The weighted average cost
of capital (WACC) is 9%. How does the ROIC in Year 4 compare with the
WACC?
Answer:
Mini Case: 7 - 25
or in part.
The operating items are forecast as follows: Sales1 = $2,000(1+0.10) = $2,200;
NOPAT1 = $2,200(0.045) = $99; and OpCap1 = $2,200(0.56) = $1,232. The operating
items for the other years are forecast in a similar manner.
Actual Forecast
Scenario:
No Change 0 1 2 3 4
Sales $2,000 $2,200 $2,376 $2,495 $2,620
NOPAT $99 $107 $112 $117.879
OpCap $1,120 $1,232 $1,331 $1,397.088 $1,466.942
FCF −$13 $8.36 $45.738 $48.025
Growth in FCF -164% 447.1% 5.0%
ROIC 8.0% 8.0% 8.0% 8.0% 8.0%
The ROIC4 is 8% and the WACC is 9%. This means that ROIC < WACC/(1+gL) at
the horizon: 0.08 < 9%/(1 + 0.05) = 0.0857. Therefore, we expect that the value of
operations at Year 4 (i.e., the horizon value at Year 4) should be less than the total net
operating capital at Year 4, OpCap4.
j. What is the horizon value at Year 4? What is the value of operations at Year 0?
How does the value of operations compare with the current total net operating
capital?
Answer:
FCF4 (1 + g L ) $48.025(1 + 0.05)

HV4 = = = $1,260.65
(WACC − g L ) (0.09 − 0.05)
HV4 $1,260.65
PV of HV4 = (1+WACC) 4 = (1+0.09)4 = $893.08
FCF1 FCF2 FCF3 FCF4
PV of FCF = (1+WACC)1
+ (1+WACC) 2 + (1+WACC)3 + (1+WACC)4
−$13 $8.36 $45.738 $48.025
PV of FCF = (1+0.09)1
+ (1+0.09)2 + (1+0.09)3 + (1+0.09)4
PV of FCF = $64.45
Mini Case: 7 - 26
or in part.
The value of operations is the sum of the PV of the horizon value plus the PVs of the
FCFs:
Value of Operations:
Present value of HV $893.08

+ Present value of FCF $64.45
Value of operations ≈ $958
Notice that the value of operations at Year 4 (i.e., the horizon value, HV4) is $1,260.65
and that the total net operation capital at Year 4 (OpCap4 from Part i) is $1,466.94. In
other words, the value of operations is less than the total net operating capital. This is
because ROIC4 < WACC/(1+gL) at the horizon: 0.08 < 9%/(1 + 0.05) = 0.0857.
Also, at Year 0, the most recent total net operating capital, OpCap0 = $1,120. Note that
the value of operations at Year 0 is $958, and this is less than the OpCap0. Thus, the
low ROIC relative to the WACC causes the value of operations to be less than the total
net operating capital.
k. What are value drivers? What happens to the ROIC and current value of
operations if expected growth increases by 1 percentage point relative to the
original growth rates (including the long-term growth rate)? What can explain
this? Hint: Use Scenario Manager.
Answer: Value drivers are the inputs to the FCF valuation model that managers are able to
influence: sales growth rates, operating profitability, capital requirements, and cost of
capital.

m. What insight does the free cash flow valuation model give provide us about
possible reasons for market volatility? Hint: Look at the value of operations for
the combinations of ROIC and gL in the previous questions.
Answer: .

5% $958 $1,191 $1,523 $1,756
6% $933 $1,247 $1,694 $2,008
Small changes in ROIC and growth cause large changes in value. Similarly, small
changes in the cost of capital (WACC) cause large changes in value. As new
information arrives, investors continually update their estimates of operating
profitability, capital requirements, growth, risk, and interest rates. If stock prices aren’t
volatile, then this means there isn’t a good flow of information
Mini Case: 7 - 30

n. 1. Write out a formula that can be used to value any dividend-paying stock,
regardless of its dividend pattern
Answer: The value of any stock is the present value of its expected dividend stream:
D1 D2 D3 D
P̂0 =     .
(1  rs ) t
(1  rs ) (1  rs ) 3
(1  rs ) 
However, some stocks have dividend growth patterns which allow them to be valued
using short-cut formulas.
n. 2. What is a constant growth stock? How are constant growth stocks valued?
Answer: A constant growth stock is one whose dividends are expected to grow at a constant rate
forever. “Constant growth” means that the best estimate of the future growth rate is
some constant number, not that we really expect growth to be the same each and every
year. Many companies have dividends which are expected to grow steadily into the
foreseeable future, and such companies are valued as constant growth stocks.
For a constant growth stock:
D1 = D0(1 + gL), D2 = D1(1 + gL) = D0(1 + gL)2, and so on.
With this regular dividend pattern, the general stock valuation model can be simplified
to the following very important equation:
D1 D (1  g L )
P̂0 = = 0 .
rs  g L rs  g L
This is the well-known “Gordon,” or “constant-growth” model for valuing stocks. Here
D1, is the next expected dividend, which is assumed to be paid 1 year from now, rs is
the required rate of return on the stock, and g is the constant growth rate.
n. 3. What happens if a company has a constant gL that exceeds its rs? Will many stocks
have expected growth greater than the required rate of return in the short run
(i.e., for the next few years)? In the long run (i.e., forever)?
Mini Case: 7 - 31
or in part.
Answer: The model is derived mathematically, and the derivation requires that rs > gL. If gL is
greater than rs, the model gives a negative stock price, which is nonsensical. The model
simply cannot be used unless (1) rs > gL, (2) gL is expected to be constant, and (3) gL
can reasonably be expected to continue indefinitely.
Stocks may have periods of nonconstant growth, where g > rs; however, this growth
rate cannot be sustained indefinitely. In the long-run, gL < rs.
Mini Case: 7 - 32
or in part.
o. Assume that Temp Force has a beta coefficient of 1.2, that the risk-free rate (the
yield on T-bonds) is 7%, and that the market risk premium is 5%. What is the
required rate of return on the firm’s stock?
Answer: Here we use the SML to calculate temp force’s required rate of return:
rs = rRF + (rM – rRF)bTemp Force = 7% + (12% – 7%)(1.2)
= 7% + (5%)(1.2) = 7% + 6% = 13%.
p. Assume that Temp Force is a constant growth company whose last dividend (D0,
which was paid yesterday) was $2.00 and whose dividend is expected to grow
indefinitely at a 6% rate.
p. 1. What is the firm’s current stock price?
Answer: We could extend the time line on out forever, find the value of Temp Force’s dividends
for every year on out into the future, and then the PV of each dividend, discounted at r
= 13%. For example, the PV of D1 is $1.76106; the PV of D2 is $1.75973; and so forth.
Note that the dividend payments increase with time, but as long as rs > gL, the present
values decrease with time. If we extended the graph on out forever and then summed
the PVs of the dividends, we would have the value of the stock. However, since the
stock is growing at a constant rate, its value can be estimated using the constant growth
model:
D1
P̂0 =
rs  g L
D1 = D0 (1+gL) = $2.00 (1.06) = $2.12
D1 $2.12 $2.12
P̂0 = = = = $30.29.
rs  g 0.13  0.06 0.07
Mini Case: 7 - 33
or in part.
p. 2. What is the stock’s expected value one year from now?
Answer: After one year, D1 will have been paid, so the expected dividend stream will then be
D2, D3, D4, and so on. Thus, the expected value one year from now is $32.10:
D2
P̂1 =
( rs  g L )
D2 = D1 (1+gL) = $2.12(1.06) = 2.2472
D2 $2.2472 $2.2472
P̂1 = = = = $32.10.
( rs  g L ) (0.13  0.06) 0.07
Mini Case: 7 - 34
or in part.
p. 3. What are the expected dividend yield, the capital gains yield, and the total return
during the first year?
Answer: The expected dividend yield in any year n is
Dn $2.12
Dividend Yield =
P̂n 1 0.13  0.06
D1 $2.12
Expected Dividend Yield at Time 0 = = = 7%
P̂0 $30.29
While the expected capital gains yield is
( P̂n  P̂n 1 )
Capital Gains Yield =
P̂n 1
( P̂n  P̂n 1 ) $32.10  $30.29 $1.81

Expected Capital Gains Yield at Time 0 = = = = 6%
P̂n 1 $30.29 $30.29
Alternatively,
Capital Gains Yield = rs – Dividend Yield = 13% − 7% = 6%
The total yield is comprised of the dividend yield and the capital gains yield.
Dividend yield = 7.0%
Capital gains yield = 6.0%
Total return = 13.0%
q. Now assume that the stock is currently selling at $30.29. What is its expected rate
of return?
Answer: The constant growth model can be rearranged to this form:
D1
r̂s = g.
P0
Mini Case: 7 - 35
or in part.
Here the current price of the stock is known, and we solve for the expected return. For
Temp Force:
r̂s = $2.12/$30.29 + 0.060 = 0.070 + 0.060 = 13%.
r. Now assume that Temp Force’s dividend is expected to experience nonconstant

growth of 30% from Year 0 to Year 1, 20% from Year 1 to Year 2, and 10% from
Year 2 to Year 3. After Year 3, dividends will grow at a constant rate of 6%. What
is the stock’s intrinsic value under these conditions? What are the expected
dividend yield and capital gains yield during the first year? What are the expected
dividend yield and capital gains yield during the fourth year (from Year 3 to Year
4)?
Answer: Temp Force is no longer a constant growth stock, so the constant growth model is not
applicable. Note, however, that the stock is expected to become a constant growth
stock in 3 years. Thus, it has a nonconstant growth period followed by constant growth.
The easiest way to value such nonconstant growth stocks is to set the situation up on a
time line as shown below:
0 rs = 13% 1 2 3 4
| | | | |
g = 30% g = 25% g = 15% gL = 6%

2.5903 3.9618
39.2246 P̂3 = $56.5971 =
0.13  0.06
46.6610
Simply enter $2 and multiply by (1.30) to get D1 = $2.60; multiply that result by 1.25
to get D2 = $3.25, multiply that result by 1.15 to get D3 = $3.7375 and multiply that
result by 1.06 to get D4 = $3.9618. Then recognize that after year 3, Temp Force
becomes a constant growth stock, and at that point P̂3 can be found using the constant
growth model. P̂3 is the present value as of t = 3 of the dividends in year 4 and beyond.
With the cash flows for D1, D2, D3, and P̂3 shown on the time line, we discount
each value back to year 0, and the sum of these four PVs is the intrinsic value of the

Mini Case: 7 - 36
or in part.
The dividend yield and the capital gains yield are:
$2.600
Dividend yield = = 0.0557 ≈ 5.6%.
$46.66
Capital gains yield = 13.00% - 5.6% = 7.4%.
During the nonconstant growth period, the dividend yields and capital gains yields are
not constant, and the capital gains yield does not equal g. However, after year 3, the
stock becomes a constant growth stock, with gL = capital gains yield = 6.0% and
dividend yield = 13.0% - 6.0% = 7.0%.
s. What is the market multiple method of valuation? What are its strengths and
weaknesses?
Answer: Analysts often use the P/E multiple (the price per share divided by the earnings per
share) or the P/CF multiple (price per share divided by cash flow per share, which is
the earnings per share plus the dividends per share) to value stocks. For example,
estimate the average P/E ratio of comparable firms. This is the P/E multiple. Multiply
this average P/E ratio by the expected earnings of the company to estimate its stock
price. The entity value (V) is the market value of equity (# shares of stock multiplied
by the price per share) plus the value of debt. Pick a measure, such as EBITDA, sales,
customers, eyeballs, etc. Calculate the average entity ratio for a sample of comparable
firms. For example, V/EBITDA, V/customers. Then find the entity value of the firm in
question. For example, multiply the firm’s sales by the V/sales multiple, or multiply
the firm’s # of customers by the V/customers ratio. The result is the total value of the
firm. Subtract the firm’s debt to get the total value of equity. Divide by the number of
shares to get the price per share. There are problems with market multiple analysis. (1)
It is often hard to find comparable firms. (2) The average ratio for the sample of
comparable firms often has a wide range. For example, the average P/E ratio might be
20, but the range could be from 10 to 50. How do you know whether your firm should
be compared to the low, average, or high performers?

t. What are the advantages of the free cash flow valuation model relative to the
dividend growth model?
Answer: You can apply FCF model in more situations, such as privately held companies,
divisions of companies, and companies that pay zero (or very low) dividends. However,
the FCF model requires forecasted financial statements to estimate FCF.

Answers and Solutions: 7- 5

7-1 D0 = $1.50; g1-3 = 5%; gn = 10%; D1 through D5 = ?

D1 = D0(1 + g1) = $1.50(1.05) = $1.5750.

7-2 D1 = $1.50; g = 6%; rs = 13%; P̂0 = ?

P̂1 = P0(1 + g) = $22(1.10) = $24.20.

7-4 Dps = $5.00; Vps = $50; rps = ?

Answers and Solutions: 7 - 6

rs = rRF + (rM - rRF)b = 7.5% + (4%)1.2 = 12.3%.

Step 2: Calculate the expected dividends:

Step 3: Calculate the PV of the expected dividends:

PVDiv = $2.40/(1.123) + $2.88/(1.123)2 = $2.14 + $2.28 = $4.42.

Step 4: Calculate P̂2 :

P̂2 = D3/(rs – g) = $3.08/(0.123 – 0.07) = $58.11.

Step 5: Calculate the PV of P̂2 :

Step 6: Sum the PVs to obtain the stock’s price:

P̂0 = $4.42 + $46.08 = $50.50.

Alternatively, using a financial calculator, input the following:

Step 1: Calculate the required rate of return:

rs = rRF + (rM – rRF)b = 5.2% + (6%)0.8 = 10%.

Step 2: Use the constant growth rate formula to calculate g:

Step 3: Calculate P̂3 :

P̂3 = P0(1 + g)3 = $40(1.025)3 = $43.076 ≈ $43.08.

D4 = D1(1 + g)3 = $3.00(1.025)3 = $3.2307.

7-10 Vps = Dps/rps; therefore, rps = Dps/Vps.
