A company's free cash flow has been growing at 6 percent per year and is expected to maintain that level of growth in the future. Next year’s FCF is expected to be $12m. If the company’s discount rate is 11 percent, what is its fair value (assuming no other data are available)?:
a. $254.4m
b. $240m
c. $280m
d. Cannot be determined
Solution :
The formula for calculation of Fair Value of the firm as per the Corporate Valuation model is
Value of the firm = FCFF1 / ( r – g )
Where
FCFF1 = Free cash Flow next year ; r = discount rate ; g = constant growth rate of free cash flow
As per the information given in the question we have
FCFF1 = $ 12 Million = $ 12,000,000 ; r = 11 % = 0.11 ; g = 6 % = 0.06 ;
Applying the above information in the formula we have the value of the firm as
= $ 12,000,000 / ( 0.11 – 0.06 )
= $ 12,000,000 / 0.05
= $ 240,000,000
= $ 240 million
Thus the Fair Value of the firm = $ 240 million
The solution is option b. $ 240m
