Chapter 4, Problem 28PS

Valuing a business Permian Partners (PP) produces from aging oil fields in west Texas. Production is 1.8 million barrels per year in 2018, but production is declining at 7% per year for the foreseeable future. Costs of production, transportation, and administration add up to $25 per barrel. The average oil price was $65 per barrel in 2018. PP has 7 million shares outstanding. The cost of capital is 9%. All of PP’s net income is distributed as dividends. For simplicity, assume that the company will stay in business forever and that costs per barrel are constant at $25. Also, ignore taxes.

  1. a. What is the ending 2018 value of one PP share? Assume that oil prices are expected to fall to $60 per barrel in 2019, $55 per barrel in 2020, and $50 per barrel in 2021. After 2021, assume a long-term trend of oil-price increases at 5% per year.
  2. b. What is PP’s EPS/P ratio, and why is it not equal to the 9% cost of capital?
