The financial projections for the Brittle Corp. are presented below. You are asked to calculate the company value under three different long-run scenarios: a. The competitive forces will not affect the company: it is expected to maintain its profitability and growth in perpetuity. Its long term growth will be a function of return on investment and investment rate (plowback ratio) b. The competitive forces will affect the company long-run profitability: after 2025 it is expected to obtain return equal to its cost of capital in any further growth, i.e. its PVGO will be zero after 2025. c. The competitive forces will be such that they will affect all of the company's markets and operations, existing and new, by 2025. It is expected that by 2025, all the company's invested capital will render only its cost of capital.
