Analysts project the following cash flows for Hopkin’s Corporation during the next three years: Year 1: – $27 million (this is negative $27 million), Year 2: $42 million, Year 3: $52 million. Free cash flow is then expected to grow at a constant 6% rate. Hopkin’s weighted average cost of capital is WACC = 11%. 12) (8 pts) What is Hopkin’s terminal, or horizon, value? (Hint: Find the value of all free cash flows beyond Year 3 discounted back to Year 3.

Answer 1

Answer:

The terminal value is $1102.4 million

Explanation:

The terminal value is the value of future cash flows discounted back to the period from where the cash flow growth becomes constant. The calculation of terminal value is important in Discounted cash flow models because terminal value contains a large percentage of the company's value. The formula to calculate the terminal value of this company will be,

Terminal value = FCF3 * (1+g)  /  (WACC - g)

Terminal Value = 52 * (1+0.06)  /  (0.11 - 0.06)

Terminal Value = $1102.4 million
