Identify core operating income from sales, after tax. The firm's statutory tax rate is 37%. Calculate the effective tax rate on core operating income. QUESTION 2. Forecasting Cash Flow and Net Indebtedness. At the end of fiscal year 2015, a firm reported the following in its balance sheet (in millions): Net operating assets Net financial obligations $500 300 You forecast that the firm will earn a 20% return on common equity (ROCE) in 2016 (on beginning-of-year equity), after $15 million in net financial expenses (net of taxes). You also forecast that net operating assets will grow 6%. The board of directors has decided that the firm will pay $20 million in dividends in 2016, but there will be no share issues or repurchases. Forecast for: a. Return on net operating assets (RNOA) for 2016 (on beginning-of-year net operating assets). b. Free cash flow for 2016 1 c. Net financial obligations at the end of 2016. d. Calculate the financial leverage ratio (FLEV) at the end of 2015 and 2016. QUESTION 3. Levered and Unlevered Price-to-Book Ratio A firm trades at 3.5 times its book equity of $300 million. It reports a financing leverage ratio of 0.5. What is its unlevered (enterprise) price-to-book ratio? QUESTION 4. Challenging the Market Price of Starbucks Corporation (SBUX) Starbucks' 744.8 million shares traded at $49.74 each when its financial statements for fiscal year 2011 were released. The reformulated version of the income statement and balance sheet are below. Unless otherwise indicated, use a required return of 9% in answering the questions below. a. Calculate core return on net operating assets for 2011 (Core RNOA) using average balance sheet amounts in the calculation. b. Break this Core RNOA down into core profit margin and asset turnover. How much in net operating assets does Starbucks hold to maintain a dollar of revenue? c. Forecast residual operating income for fiscal year 2012 based on the forecast that Core RNOA will be the same in 2012 as it was in 2011. d. Value the common equity based on this forecast with a forecast that residual operating income after 2012 will grow at a rate of 4% per year. Assign a value of $48 million to the noncontrolling interest. e. Value the common equity with the forecast that Starbucks will maintain the same profit margin and asset turnover in future years as in 2011 but that sales growth will be at a pace of 6% per year. f. What is the market's forecast of this residual operating income growth rate given you have a hurdle rate of 9%? What is the market's forecasted growth rate if you see the required return as 12%? g. If you forecast that the core RNOA and asset turnover in 2011 will be maintained in the future, what is the market's forecast of the sales growth rate in the future. Use a 9% hurdle rate.
