Brandtly Industries invests a large sum of money in R&D; as a result, it retains and reinvests all of its earnings. In other words, Brandtly does not pay any dividends, and it has no plans to pay dividends in the near future. A major pension fund is interested in purchasing Brandtly’s stock. The pension fund manager has estimated Brandtly’s free cash flows for the next 4 years as follows: $3 million, $6 million, $8 million, and $16 million. After the fourth year, free cash flow is projected to grow at a constant 3%. Brandtly’s WACC is 9%, the market value of its debt and preferred stock totals $75 million; and it has 7.5 million shares of common stock outstanding. a. What is the present value of the free cash flows projected during the next 4 years? b. What is the firm’s horizon, or continuing, value? c. What is the firm’s total value today? d. What is an estimate of Brandtly’s price per share?

a. What is the present value of the free cash flows projected during the next 4 years?

the NPV of the firm's cash flows = $3/1.09 + $6/1.09² + $8/1.09³ + $16/1.09⁴ = $2,752,294 + $5,050,080 + $6,177,468 + $11,334,803 = $25,314,645

b. What is the firm’s horizon, or continuing, value?

to calculate terminal or horizon value at year 4, we must use the Gordon growth model formula:

terminal value = [$16,000,000 (1 + 3%)] / (9% - 3%) = $16,480,000 / 6% = $274,666,667

c. What is the firm’s total value today?

firm's total present value = $25,314,645 + ($274,666,667/1.09⁴) = $219,895,463

d. What is an estimate of Brandtly’s price per share?

Brandtly's share price = (firm's present value - total debt) / outstanding stocks = ($219,895,463 - $75,000,000) / 7,500,000 million stocks = $19.32 per stock
