Hint: Treat Financing receivable as operating assets. NOA = $ (b) Compute net operating profit after tax (NOPAT) for 2019, assuming a federal and state statutory tax rate of 22%. Assume that all items on the 2019 income statement will persist.(Round your answer to the nearest whole number.) 2019 NOPAT = $ (c) Use the parsimonious forecast method, as shown in Analysis Insight box on page 13-4, to forecast Cisco's sales, NOPAT, and NOA for 2020 through 2023 and the terminal period using the following assumptions. Sales growth 2020-2023 5% Terminal growth 1% Net operating profit margin 2019 rate rounded to three decimal places Net operating asset turnover 2019 rate rounded to three decimal places Reported 2019 Terminal Period 2020 Est.

(d) Estimate the value of a share of Cisco common stock using the discounted cash flow (DCF) model as of July 27, 2019; assume a discount rate (WACC) of 7.6%, common shares outstanding of 5,029 million, and net nonoperating obligations (NNO) of $(8,747) million (NNO is negative, which means that Cisco has net nonoperating investments) Instructions: Use your rounded answers for subsequent calculations. Round all answers to the nearest whole number, except for discount factors and stock price per share. Round discount factors to 5 decimal places Round stock price per share to two decimal places Use a negative sign with your NNO answer.

How does your valuation estimate compare with this closing price? What do you believe are some reasons for the difference? What investment decision is suggested from your results? (Select all that apply) Our stock price estimate is lower than the CSCO market price as of September 5, 2019, indicating that we believe the stock is overvalued. Stock prices are a function of expected NOPAT and NOA, as well as the WACC discount rate. Our lower stock price estimate may be due to more pessimistic forecasts or a higher discount rate compared to other investors' and analysts model assumptions. Our higher stock price estimate may be due to more optimistic forecasts or a lower discount rate compared to other investors' and analysts model assumptions
