Question

Barnette Inc.'s free cash flows are expected to be unstable during the next few years while the company undergoes restructuring. However, FCF is expected to be $50 million in Year 5, i.e., FCF at t = 5 equals $50 million, and the FCF growth rate is expected to be constant at 6% beyond that point. If the weighted average cost of capital is 12%, what is the horizon value (in millions) at t = 5?a. $719b. $757c. $797d. $839e. $883

Answer 1

Answer:

Horizon value = $883

so correct option is e. $883

Explanation:

given data

FCF is expected = $50 million

time = 5 year

CF growth rate = 6% = 0.06

average cost of capital = 12% = 0.12

to find out

the horizon value

solution

we know that FCF at year 6 is here

FCF at year 6  = principal ( 1 + rate )

FCF at year 6 = 50 × (1 + 6%)

FCF at year 6  = 53 million

and

Horizon value will be here

Horizon value =  $\frac{FCF at year 6}{required rate- growth rate}$  

Horizon value =  $\frac{53}{0.12-0.06}$

Horizon value = 883.33

Horizon value = $883

so correct option is e. $883
