Netsoft is a company that manufactures networking software. In the current year 2021, the firm reported operating earnings before interest and taxes (EBIT) of $250 million. These earnings are expected to grow at a rate of 4% per year in perpetuity. The non-cash expenses in EBIT amount to $50 million, and are also expected to grow at a rate of 4% per year. Furthermore, Netsoft’s debt expressed in absolute dollar terms is expected to remain constant over time at $400 million. Take the following information as given:

Beta (unlevered assets) ß_UA = 1.2,

Leverage ratio D/V = 15%,

Marginal tax rate T_C = 40%,

Return on debt r_D = 10%

risk-free rate r_f = 6%

market risk premium (r_M – r_f) = 5.5%

Derive the enterprise value using the CCF method assuming a constant leverage ratio of 15% for the infinite future.
