You are an analyst in a fund analyzing a potential investment. The following assumptions are given:

•EBITDA is $30 at year 0 and grow 2% each year.

•The company has $75 million of long-term debt on its balance sheet (7% interest rate).

•The company has $100 million of equity on its balance sheet.

•Assume ongoing CAPEX to be 10% EBITDA.

•Assume the CAPEX has a useful life of 10 years with no residual value. Depreciation can be accelerated (for deferred tax purposes) using the following simplified MACRS schedule:

Year1 25%

Year2 20%

Year3 15%

Year4 12%

Year5 10%

•The company has an effective tax rate of 35%.

•Assume 25 days working capital for accounts receivable, 5 for inventory, 10 for accounts payable, and 30 for accrued expenses. For simplification, assume all working capital line items are projected off of EBITDA.

•You have already done some research and found the risk-free rate of return is 3%, and the market has return 12% over the past 10 years.

•Use a 15.0x EBITDA for the EBITDA terminal value multiple.

•Assume a 2% perpetuity growth rate

•Assume the company has a beta of 0.5

Use these assumptions to answer all of questions in this quiz. (The answers will be in million at three decimals, no symbol, and no comma i.e. the NPV of UFCF is 272.636)

Question:

What is the NPV of UFCF of this company?

Use the same assumptions, what is the WACC of this company?

Use the same assumptions, what is the equity value based on EBITDA method?

Use the same assumptions, what is the equity value based on perpetuity method?
