This assignment puts you in the shoes of financial analyst advising a portfolio manager of an equity mutual fund. Your job is to estimate a fair price for Polaris as of December 31, 2005 using the historical statements and the assumptions provided below. Answer the questions that follow to guide you through the forecast and valuation. Assumptions Valuation Model Assumptions Forecast the financial statements and free cash flow) for 2006 and then assume that free cash flow grows at a constant rate in perpetuity. Assume that all cash flows occur at year-end, so the 2006 cash flows will occur in one year. . Assume a long-term growth rate of 2.5%. Financial Statements Forecast Assumptions . Sales in 2006 will be 2.5% larger than 2005. Estimate the depreciation rate and the ratio of growth CAPEX to the change in sales (CAPEX/ASales) using the 2005 financial data. Assume that the investment in net working capital (for the free cash flow calculation) is 7.5% of the increase in sales. So if sales in 2006 are $1 more than in 2005, then the investment in net working capital is $0.075. Assume that the following accounts remain unchanged in 2006: Goodwill & Intangibles, Other Current Liabilities, Long-Term Debt, and Common Stock. The loss from discontinued operations is $0 in 2006. Cash is the plug account. No dividends are paid in 2006. Use 2005 ratios for all percent-of-sales forecasts. Tax rate = 33%. WACC Assumptions Interest cost on debt = 4.6%. . The risk-free rate, kf, is 3.75%. The market risk premium, E(km) - ky = 7%. Polaris's beta is 1.18. Polaris's capital structure weights are wp = 1% and we = 99%. Assume that these weights are optimal and that Polaris will maintain them in perpetuity. Polaris Industries Inc.
