detailed explanation of bok sports mini case

Mini-Case: Bok Sports Ten years ago, in Johannesburg, Joost van Hees founded a small mail-order company selling high- quality sports equipment. Since those early days Bok Sports has grown steadily and been consistently profitable. The company has issued 2 million shares, all of which are owned by Joost van Hees and his five children. For some months Joost has been wondering whether the time has come to take the company public, This would allow him to cash in on part of his investment and would make it easier for the firm to raise capital should it wish to expand in the future. But how much are the shares worth? Joost's first instinct is to look at the firm's balance sheet, which shows that the book value of the equity is R263.4 million, or R131.7 per share. A share price of R131.7 would put the stock on a P/E ratio of 6.6. That is quite a bit lower than the 13.1 P/E ratio of Bok's larger rival, Wenner Corporation. Joost suspects that book value is not necessarily a good guide to a share's market value. He thinks of his daughter Jenny, who works in an investment bank. She would undoubtedly know what the shares are worth. Before speaking to her, Joost jots down some basic data on the company's profitability. After recovering from its early losses, the company has earned a return that is higher than its estimated 10% cost of capital. Joost is fairly confident that the company could continue to grow fairly steadily for the next six to eight years. In fact he feels that the company's growth has been somewhat held back in the last few years by the demands from two of the children for the company to make large dividend navments. Perhaps, if the company went public, it could hold back on dividends and plow more money back into the business. There are some clouds on the horizon. Competition is increasing and only that morning Wenner inced plans to form a mail-order division. Joost is worried that beyond the next six or so years ir maht become difficult to find worthwhile investment opportunities. Joost realizes that Jenny will need to know much more about the prospects for the business before she can put a final figure on Bok's value, but he hopes that the information is sufficient for her to give a preliminary indication of the value of the shares. 2005 2006 2007 2008 2009 2010 2011 Earnings per share, R Dividend, R Book value per share, R ROE, % . - 21.0 0.0 98.0 - 27.10 -7.0 0.0 77.0 -7.1 23 0.0 70.0 3.0 8.1 2.0 76. 1 11.6 11.0 2.0 85. 1 14.5 13.0 3.0 95.1 15.3 15.2 3.0 107.3 16.0 2012 16.4 6.0 117.7 153 2013 20.0 6.0 131.7 17.0 2014E 203 8.0 144.0 15.4 QUESTIONS 1. Hela Jenny to forecast dividend payments for Bok and to estimate the value of the stock. You do not need to provide a single figure. For example, you may wish to calculate two figures, one on the assumption that the opportunity for further profitable investment disappears after six years and another assuming it disappears after eight years. 2. How much of your estimate of the value of Bok's stock comes from the present value of growth opportunities
