Student 1MM5 Chapter Problem Valuation of Stocks and Corporations Value Drivers in the Free Cash Flow Valuation Model 23 Start with the partial model in Ch08 Build a Model.xlsx on the textbook's Web site. Traver-Dunlap Corporation's has a 15% weighted average cost of capital (WACC). Its most recent sales were $980 million and its total net operating capital is S870 million. The following shows estimates of the forecasted growth rates, operating profitability ratios, and capital requirement ratios for the next three years. All of these ratios are expected to remain constant after the third year. Use this information to answer the following questions Estimated Data for Traver-Dunlap Corporation Annual sales growth rate Operating profitability (NOPAT/Sale) Capital requirement (OpCap/Sales) Tax rate 20% 12% 696 10% 80% 35% 10% a. Use the data to forecast sales, net operating profit after taxes (NOPAT), total net operating capital (OpCap), free cash flow (FCF), growth rate in FCF, and return on invested capital (ROIC) for the next three years. What is the FCF growth rate for Year 3 and how does it compare with the growth rate in sales? What is the ROIC for Year 3 and how does it compare with the 15% WACC? Net Total net operatin FCF NOPAT-Investment in OpCa Growth in FCF ROIC NOPAT ital b. What is the value of operations at Year 3 Ve? What is the current value of operations, Vap How does the value of operations at Year 0 compare with the total net operating working capital at Year 3, and what might explain this relationship? Free cash flow at beginning of the constant growth phase (FCFJ- Weighted average cost of capital (WACC) Constant growth rate (g) 15.00% Present value of HV = Present value of free cash flows Total value of operations at Year 0,Vop,0 C. Suppose the growth rates for Years 2, 3, and thereafter can be increased to 7%. What is the new value of operations? Did it go up or down? Why did it change in this manner Sales growth rates after Year 1 Total value of operations at Year 0, V,,o- Hint: Create a scenario and copy the new scenario's output as a value. d. Return the growth rates to the original values. Now suppose that the capital requirement ratio can be decreased to 60% for all three years and thereafter. What is the new value of operations? Did it go up or down relative to the original base case? Why did it change in this manner? Capital requirement ratios Total value of operations at Year 0, Yop.o 60% Hint: Create a sconario and copy the new scenario's output as a valuc. e. Leave the capital requirement ratios at 60% for all three year for Years 2,3, and thereafter to 7%, what is the new value of operations? Did it go up or down relative to the other scenarios? Why did it change in this manner? s and thereafter, but increase the sales growth rates Sales growth rates after Year 1 Capital requirement ratios Total value of operations at Year 0,Vop,0 60% Hint: Create a scenario and copy the new scenario's output as a value.
