- As companies evolve, certain factors can drive sudden growth. This may lead to a period of nonconstant, or variable, growth. This would cause the expected growth rate to increase or decrease, thereby affecting the valuation model. For companies in such situations, you would refer to the variable, or nonconstant, growth model for the valuation of the company's stock. Consider the case of Portman Industries: Portman Industries just paid a dividend of $2.40 per share. The company expects the coming year to be very profitable, and its dividend is expected to grow by 12.00% over the next year. After the next year, though, Portman's dividend is expected to grow at a constant rate of 2.40% per year. Assuming that the market is in equilibrium, use the information just given to complete the table. Term Dividends one year from now (D1) Horizon value (P1) Intrinsic value of Portman's stock Value The risk-free rate (TRF) is 3.00%, the market risk premium (RPM) is 3.60%, and Portman's beta is 1.70.…arrow_forwardRead the scenario below and answer the questions that follow. A company is under pressure from influential shareholders to change its dividend policy. The company has always followed the residual dividend policy, but the influential shareholders feel that the company needs to change to a stable pay-out ratio policy. The company just reported earnings of R232m for the year ended 31 March 2024. The company is considering the following investment opportunities for the upcoming financial year: Investment opportunity A BUD C E Cost R72m R62m R110m R96m R48m Internal rate of return 14.28% 13.03% 15.67% 16.01% 13.79% The company's cost of capital is 13.5% and its target capital structure is represented by a debt-to-assets ratio of 40%. The company has 28m ordinary shares outstanding.arrow_forward•Suppose we are trying to value the company Inactivision, a video game developer that does not pay dividends and has negative earnings but it growing. If the appropriate industry price to sales ratio for this type of company is 20 and you predict sales to be $3 per share for the coming year, then the forecasted stock price for a year from now, or target price, is the following: Respuesta:arrow_forward
- Old Comm Corp. is an old company in an industry which is declining. You are trying to determine what a fair price for the company would be given these facts. You know the firm just paid a dividend of $3.01. You expect the industry to shrink by -13.3% a year and assume this can be used as the firm's growth rate. Your estimated discount rate for the firm is 10.996. Given your assumptions, what should be the price of Old Comm Corp.? Answer with dollars and centsarrow_forward9. As companies evolve, certain factors can drive sudden growth. This may lead to a period of nonconstant, or variable, growth. This would cause the expected growth rate to increase or decrease, thereby affecting the valuation model. For companies in such situations, you would refer to the variable, or nonconstant, growth model for the valuation of the company’s stock. Consider the case of Portman Industries: Portman Industries just paid a dividend of $3.12 per share. The company expects the coming year to be very profitable, and its dividend is expected to grow by 16.00% over the next year.

Can you use a free-cash-flows-based valuation approach when cash flows are negative? If so, explain how a free-cash-flows approach can produce positive valuations of firms when they are expected to generate negative free cash flows over the next five years.arrow_forward
- Brushy Mountain Mining Company's coal reserves are being depleted, so its sales are falling. Also, environmental costs increase each year, so its costs are rising. As a result, the company's earnings and dividends are declining at the constant rate of 5% per year. If D0 = $2 and rs = 16%, what is the estimated value of Brushy Mountain's stock? Do not round intermediate calculations. Round your answer to the nearest cent.arrow_forwardWhich of the following is true? I. If there is no change in gross fixed assets from one year to the next, then net fixed assets would have to have decreased. II. For firms with lower P/E ratios, investors are valuing each dollar of earnings more than for firms with higher P/E ratios. III. A increase in the current ratio indicates an improvement in a firm's long-term solvency condition.arrow_forwardNikularrow_forward
- David Lyons, CEO of Lyons Solar Technologies, is concerned about his firms level of debt financing. The company uses short-term debt to finance its temporary working capital needs, but it does not use any permanent (long-term) debt. Other solar technology companies have debt, and Mr. Lyons wonders why they use debt and what its effects are on stock prices. To gain some insights into the matter, he poses the following questions to you, his recently hired assistant: e. Suppose the expected free cash flow for Year 1 is 250,000 but it is expected to grow faster than 7% during the next 3 years: FCF2 = 290,000 and FCF3 = 320,000, after which it will grow at a constant rate of 7%. The expected interest expense at Year 1 is 128,000, but it is expected to grow over the next couple of years before the capital structure becomes constant: Interest expense at Year 2 will be 152,000, at Year 3 it will be 192,000 and it will grow at 7% thereafter. What is the estimated horizon unlevered value of operations (i.e., the value at Year 3 immediately after the FCF at Year 3)? What is the current unlevered value of operations? What is the horizon value of the tax shield at Year 3? What is the current value of the tax shield? What is the current total value? The tax rate and unlevered cost of equity remain at 25% and 14%, respectively.arrow_forwardSuppose a corporation can change its depreciation method so that its tax payments will decrease by $5,000 this year but increase by $5,000 next year. Given this change in depreciation method, what do you expect to happen to the value of this company? O The change will decrease the value of the company because investors don't like changes in accounting methods. O The change will increase the value of the company because the value of the cash savings this year exceeds the cost of the cash payments next year. O The change will have no impact on the value of the company because its cash flow over time will be the same. The change will decrease the value of the company because lower tax payments this year result from lower reported income.arrow_forwardDAS Co. is preparing its financial forecast for next year and its AFN is negative. This means that Select one: O a. the predicted change in total assets must be negative. O b. sales growth must be negative. O c. the dividend payout ratio must be greater than the predicted growth rate in sales. O d. the predicted change in spontaneous liabilities must be greater than the predicted change in total assets.arrow_forward
