JAZ Inc. You have been asked to determine whether JAZ Inc. is correctly priced today at $320 per share. To do this you are to use the Corporate Value Model discussed in class to estimate JAZ Inc.s stock price. The companys most current Income Statement, Balance Sheet and related financial details are provided in the Excel file JAZ Inc. Financials. This file also includes a tab with information regarding JAZs monthly closing stock prices over the last five years, along with those of the MSCI ACWI. In completing this project, you will presume that CAPM is correct. You are to assume that the long-term risk-free rate is 4.3% and the long-term market risk premium is 6.8%. As well, all Cash in the firm is to be considered Excess Cash and therefore not included in the consideration of Net Operating Working Capital. You are to complete the project in groups, as approved by your sectional Instructor. You will submit via email to your respective Instructors, (i) an Excel file clearly showing your calculations and conclusions, along with (ii) a separate report in Word or PDF explaining your methods, assumptions and results. This Word/PDF report is to be up to a maximum of 3 pages in length; Times New Roman font size 12 with 1.5 spacing (any exhibits are to be included in a separate Appendix at the end of the document). The submission due date and time is Monday November 14, 2016 at 11:59PM. Any late submissions will result in a very significant penalty to the project mark. In coming to your conclusions, it will be useful to find (i) JAZs Beta (hint Excel SLOPE function is helpful here), (ii) JAZs WACC, (iii) JAZs pro-forma CFFA for each of the years 2017-2021, (iv) JAZs expected Terminal Value for year ending 2021, (v) the PV of all of JAZs future operating cash flows (i.e., of CFFAs for years 2017-2021 and its 2021 Terminal Value), (vi) JAZs total firm value including its Excess Cash (note that you are not being asked to state the firms enterprise value), (vii) JAZs total equity value, and ultimately (viii) JAZs equity price per share.
