In this question we attempt to value a company (rather than a project) using the valuation technique we have learned so far. Specifically, the company is expected to generate the following cash flows for the next 5 years:
| Years | 1 | 2 | 3 | 4 | 5 |
| Free Cash Flows ($M) | 15 | 18 | 20 | 22 | 23 |
After year 5, the company's cash flows are expected to grow at a constant rate of 5% forever.
Beta of the company's stock is 1.2. The expected return of the S&P 500 Index is 12.5%. The T-bill rate is 3.5%.
- Suppose that the company is financed with 100% equity. What is the value of the company today (t=0)?
- Suppose the company is financed with 50% debt and 50% equity. The company's bonds currently trade at par and pay 7% coupons. The corporate tax rate for the company is 21%. What is the value of the company today (t=0)?
