Assume the free cash flow to common equity for Microsoft is for the terminal year. Also assume that Microsoft will grow at a constant rate of 3 percent and that Microsoft’s cost of equity is 8 percent. Compute Microsoft’s terminal value using the information below.
Microsoft Corporation |
2011 |
2010 |
2009 |
Net income………………….. |
$23,958 |
$18,846 |
- |
Stockholders’ equity……….. |

Free cash flow (Net income) for year 2011 | 23958 | |||
Free cash flow (Net income) after year 2011 will increase at a constant rate of 6.0% | ||||
Growth rate = 3% or | 0.03 | |||
ke = 8% or | 0.08 | |||
free cash flow for year 2012 = FCF 2011 * (1+g) | ||||
23958 * (1+0.03) | ||||
24676.74 | ||||
Terminal value of business = FCF for year 2012 / (ke -g) | ||||
24676.74 | /(0.08-0.08) | |||
493534.8 | ||||
So, Microsoft's Terminal value is $493,534.80. |
