5.6 Capital invested amounts to $100, ROC = 10%, and WACC = 15%. ROC will remain at 10% during the next 5 years; afterwards it will increase to 15%, and it will stay at that level. The firm is
5.5 Compute the enterprise value and the required capital investment as a fraction of NOPAT for ROC = 25% for 10 years and ROC = 10% thereafter, WACC = 10%, g = 15%, and initial invested capital

5.3 Invested capital is $100 million. ROC is expected to be 20% for the next 10 years and drop to 10% afterwards. The cost of capital is 10%. The firm is expected to grow at 5% per year.What is the
5.2 Recalculate the value of TPI Inc. using the EVA approach for an initial capital of $90 million and compare it to your result in Problem 5.1.
5.1 Value TPI Inc. using the EVA approach with the data of Problem 2.7 and compare your result to the answer to Problem 2.7. Assume that initial capital is $70 million.
(d) If the ROC in the expansion described in (c) is expected to be only 5%, the growth opportunity is worth –$109 and would bring down the enterprise value from $2,000 to$2,000 − $109 = $1,891.
(c) Consider instead the case in which the firm expects to make only one additional expansion equal to C4 = 500. The expansion would take place at the end of year 4 and yield ROC = 9% for the
(b) Assume Ct is expected to be positive in future years but to yield just the cost of capital.Then, Vis still $2,000 because growth opportunities just break even and have zero NPV.
(a) For a firm with NOPAT1 = 140, Ct = 0, and cost of capital equal to 7%, enterprise value is equal to $140/0.07 = $2,000.
