Question

An analyst seeks to determine the value of Bulldog Industries. After careful research, the analyst believes that free cash flows for the firm will be $80 million in the upcoming year (year 1) and will grow at 10% annually for each of the two following years (years 2 and 3). The free cash flows will grow at a rate of 5% after year 3. What is the Terminal Value (in millions of $) of Bulldog at the end of year 3 at a WACC of 10%?

Answer 1

Answer:

$2,033

Explanation:

The computation of the terminal value at the end of the year 2 is shown below:

= {Free cash flow of the firm × (1 + growth rate) × (1 + growth rate) + (1+ growth rate)} ÷ (WACC - growth rate)

= {($80 million × (1 + 0.10) × (1 + 0.10) × (1 + 0.05)} ÷ (10% - 5)

= $101.64 ÷ 0.05

= $2,033

We simply applied the above formula so that the Terminal value could arrive
