You just received a call from a potential buyer for your brother-in-law's business, but the buyer is quite concerned about interest rates going up. The buyer is suggesting that the Federal Reserve will likely raise interest rates by .50 at their next meeting, which will impact your WACC.

Please run a second set of figures using a new WACC reflecting this forecast

Calculate Forecasted FCF

NOPAT == EBIT(1 - T)

NOWC == (Cash ++ accounts receivable ++ inventories) - (Accounts payable & accruals)

Total operating capital == NOWC ++ Net fixed assets

FCF == NOPAT - Change in total operating capital

ROIC == NOPAT/(Total operating capital)

Value of operation

Vop = FCF1/ (WACC_gL)
