INSTRUCTIONS As the newly appointed CFO of an established firm, your CEO brings you a proposal to acquire a rising competitor. The acquisition would make your firm the largest player in the market. To make a competitive offer, the CEO has asked you to come up with a value for the target firm. As the firm does not pay dividends, you elect to use the free cash flow (FCF) valuation model. Currently, the target firm has a single outstanding debt issue quoted at $91.156 per bond with 3,000 bonds outstanding. The target firm also has 17,000 shares of preferred stock outstanding with a market value of $11 /share. You obtain the following information from the target firm's most recent three years of financial statements: Here are some equations from chapter 4 that you will need: FCF=OCF Net Fixed Asset Investment (NFAI) - Net Current Asset Investment (NCAI) OCF=NOPAT+ Depreciation =[EBIT(1T)]+ Depreciation NFAI= Change in Net Fixed Assets + Depreciation NCAI= Change in Current Assets - Change in (Accounts Payable + Accruals) EXERCISES EXERCISES 3. If you expect the target firm to grow at your calculated annual growth rate for the next four years (2023-2026) and beyond that grow at an anual rate of 3.0%, what is the value of the entire target firm assuming a weighted average cost of capital (WACC) of 11.50% ?
