13. (Adapted from CFA Level II exam, 2000) The management of Telluride, an international diversified conglomerate based in the United States, believes that the recent strong performance of its wholly owned medical supply subsidiary, Sundanci, has gone unnoticed. To realize Sundanci’s full value, Telluride announced that it will divest Sundanci in a tax-free spinoff.

Sue Carroll, CFA, is Director of Research at Kesson and Associates. In developing an investment recommendation for Sundanci, Carroll has gathered the information shown in Tables 3-16 and 3-17 below.

Abbey Naylor, CFA, has been directed by Carroll to determine the value of Sundanci’s stock using the FCFE model. Naylor believes that Sundanci’s FCFE will grow at 27 percent for two years, and 13 percent thereafter. Capital expenditures, depreciation, and working capital are all expected to increase proportionately with FCFE.
