Using this information you have to suggest the higher management about the potential price they should pay for the small firm. Because you are relatively uncertain about the firm's future cash flows, you decide to estimate the firm's value using several possible assumptions about the growth rate of cash flows. Required A. Estimate the firm's value if cash flows are expected to grow i. At an annual rate of - 4% from now to infinity. (5 marks) ji. At an annual rate of 0% from now to infinity. (5 marks) iii.

The market rate of return is 15%. Assume the beta has changed to 1.3. Show the effects this beta change will have on the following: Required rate of return for the company i. (4 marks) ii. Value of the firm under assumption (iii) of part a (4 marks)
