An analyst is building a standalone DCF for Jackson Vinyl, a manufacturer of vinyl siding, After handing in her work (the Excel file we give you above), her supervisor points out that the unlevered free cash flows she used in her forecast were understated because stock based compensation (SBC) expenses were not added back to arrive at unlevered free cash flows. The supervisor argues that since SBC expenses are noncash like depreciation and amortization, this will lead to a systematic understatement of equity value per share. Question: Please select the statement below that is most accurate, Supervisor is correct, the analyst's approach will lead to a systematic understatement of equity value per share because the analyst is presenting cash flows artificially depressed due to a non cash expense, Supervisor is correct, the analyst's approach will lead to a systematic understatement of equity value per share because the dilution from forecasted stock based compensation expense forecast in the income statement is reflected in the share count Supervisor is correct, the analyst's approach will lead to a systemic understatement of equity value per share as long as stock based compensation is not issued in the money Supervisor is correct, the analyst's approach will lead to a systematic understatement of equity value per share because the analyst is presenting cash flows artificially depressed due to a non-cash expense. Supervisor is correct the analyst's approach will lead to a systematic understatement of equity value per share because o the dilution from forecasted stock based compensation expense forecast in the income statement is reflected in the share count Supervisor is correct, the analyst's approach will lead to a systematic understatement of equity value per share as long as stock based compensation is not issued in the money Both supervisor and analyst are wrong. The supervisor's approach leads to a systematic overstatement of equity value O per share because the share count does not capture any dilution from future SBC, while the analyst's approach leads to a systematic understatement of equity value per share because it reduces cash flows by non cash expenses. Supervisor is incorrect, the analyst's approach will not lead to a systematic understatement of equity value per share. Even though SBC is a non cash expense, the company is forecast to issue dilutive securities in the future and this isn't reflected in the share count so it must be reflected somewhere. 1 2 Revenue 3 Operating expenses 4 Tax rate 5 EBIAT 6 Depreciation and anyortiz 7 Changes in working capit 8 Capital expenditures Unlevered free cash 2017 2.655.622 -2,330,841 31.40% 222,799 99.397 17,952 -71,275 268,872 2018 2,841,516 -2,494,000 31.40% 238,394 104,366 19,208 -76.264 285,705 2019 3.040.422 -2,668,580 31.40% 255,082 109,585 20,553 -81,603 303,617 2020 3.253.252 -2,855,380 31.40% 272,938 115,064 21.992 -87,315 322,679 9 10 11 Operating expenses include stock based compensation and depreciation and amortization expenses 12 13 14 15 WACC 6.20% 16 Long term growth rate 3.00% 17 Terminal value 10.910.497.50 18 Present value of terminal 8.062.140.60 y a files.
