Summit Energy is an alternative energy producer. Your hedge fund is interested in investing in the company. As an analyst, you need to estimate the firm value and its price per share using the NPV method and report it to the energy portfolio manager. So far youve successfully forecasted its earnings for 2020-2022 (numbers are in millions).

  1. Calculate Summits free cash flows for 2022. Assume that annual networking capital represents 10% of revenues. In 2021 Summit plans to purchase new equipment for its new generation of windmills for $200 million. No other purchases are planned in 2020 or 2022:

free cash flows for 2022 = 1,930 + 2,000 - (26,746*10%) - 0 = 1,930 + 2,000 - 2,674.60 - 0 = 1,255.40

B. Summit Energys beta is 2.7. Calculate its expected rate of return if the market portfolio return is 12% and the risk-free rate is 4%

expected rate of return = 4% + 2.7*(12% - 4%) = 4% + 2.7*8% = 4% + 21.6% = 25.6%

C. Calculate Summits terminal value if free cash flows are expected to grow 2% perpetually starting 2023. Use its expected rate of return from question B as a discount rate

terminal value = 1,255.40*(1+0.02)/(0.256 - 0.02) = (1,255.40*1.02)/0.236 = 1,280.508/0.236 = 5,425.88

D. Calculate Summits NPV as of 2020. Use its expected rate of return from question B as a discount rate

E. If Summit has 50 million shares outstanding and $200 million of debt, what is its estimated price per share?

F. If Summits stock is currently trading for $500, should your fund invest in the company?
