Justin Cochran Case 1 Study 9/13/2023 1. Free Cash Flow of the Firm (FCFF) I was able to determine the free cash flows using the information that was provided. In doing so I was able to determine the free cash flows of the firms for each of the five years. Year 1’s FCFF was 155, Year 2’s was 251, Year 3's was 395, Year 4’s was 539, and Year 5’s was 681. I was able to find these by using the data provided to find the net operating profit after taxes, adding the depreciation from the3 income statement, calculated the capital expenditures using the net fixed assets and the depreciation, and calculated the change in net operating working capital. Year 1 2 3 4 5 NOPAT 655 756 862 973 1088 DEP 900 945 983 1016 1043 CAPEX 1200 1200 1200 1200 1200 ΔNOWC 200 250 250 250 250 FCFF 155 251 395 539 681 2. Appropriate Rate for Discounting I believe that the appropriate rate for discounting the free cash flow of the firm is the weighted average cost of capital or WACC. In order to estimate it we will need to find the weight of debt, the cost of debt, the weight of equity, and the cost of equity. The tax rate has already been confirmed in the provided data. 3. Weighted Average Cost of Capital I calculated that the cost of equity was around 12.33%, cost of unlevered equity was 11.51%. Using the cost of equity to help, I was also able to calculate the weighted average cost of capital. The WACC ended up being 10.6%. In order to find the Beta, I used the beta equity of the Vendy’s (India) Ltd company to help with the calculations. 4. Terminal Value Weight of debt 25.00% Weight of equity 75.00% Cost of debt 8.00% Cost of equity 12.33% Tax rate 30% WACC 10.6%
Using the fifth-year free cash flow of the firm, the weighted average cost of capital as the discount rate, and already being given the growth rate of 5%, I was able to calculate that the terminal value is $12.6 Million. 5. Net Present Value In order to find the net present value, I used the revenue and expenses that were provided to find the net income of each year. Then, I used the weighted average cost of capital as the discount rate in order to acquire the net present value. The NPV was calculated as $6.7 million, just around half of the size of the Terminal Value.
