The following is a five year forecast for Tinto Wholesale Spice:
($ millions | Year |
1 | 2 | 3 | 4 | 5 | |
Free equity cash flow | $132 | $158 | $190 | $228 | $274 |
The CFO estimates the company will grow at the industry growth rate of 5 percent after the fifth year, into
perpetuity. She has collected market data that indicates the current Treasury bill rate is 3 percent, the
market risk premium is 5 percent, and the beta of Tinto is 0.90.
What is the value of Tinto's common equity?
Required rate = Risk free rate + beta (market risk premium)
Required rate = 0.03 + 0.9 (0.05)
Required rate = 0.075 or 7.5%
Year 6 equity cash flow = 274 * 1.05 = 287.7
Value at year 5 = CF6 / required rate - growth rate
Value at year 5 = 287.7 / 0.075 - 0.05
Value at year 5 = 287.7 / 0.025
Value at year 5 = 11,508
Value of common equity = 132 / (1 + 0.075)1 + 158 / (1 + 0.075)2 + 190 / (1 + 0.075)3 + 228 / (1 + 0.075)4 + 274 / (1 + 0.075)5 + 11,508 / (1 + 0.075)5
Value of common equity = $8,790.04
