13. Sora Industries has 60 million outstanding shares, $120 million in debt, $44 million in cash, and the following projected free cash flow for the next four years:

Year 0 1 2 3 4
Earnings and FCF Forecast($ millions)
Sales 433 468 516 547 574.3
Growth versus Prior Year 8.10% 10.30% 6.00% 5.00%
Cost of Goods Sold -313.6 -345.7 -366.5 -384.8
Growth Profit 154.4 170.3 180.5 189.5
Selling, General and Administrative -93.6 -103.2 -109.4 -114.9
Depreciation -7 -7.5 -9 -9.5
EBIT 53.8 59.6 62.1 65.2
Less: Income Tax at 40% -21.5 -23.8 -24.8 -26.1
Plus: Depreciation 7 7.5 9 9.5
Less: Capital Expenditures -7.7 -10 -9.9 -10.4
Less: Increase in NWC -6.3 -8.6 -5.6 -4.9
Free Cash Flow 25.3 24.6 30.8 33.3

a. Suppose Soras revenue and free cash flow are expected to grow at a 5.5% rate beyond year 4. If Soras weighted average cost of capital is 10%, what is the value of Soras stock based on this information?

b. Soras cost of goods sold was assumed to be 67% of sales. If its cost of goods sold is actually 70% of sales, how would the estimate of the stocks value change?

c. Lets return to the assumptions of part (a) and suppose Sora can maintain its cost of goods sold at 67% of sales. However, now suppose Sora reduces its selling, general, and administrative expenses from 20% of sales to 16% of sales. What stock price would you estimate now? (Assume no other expenses, except taxes, are affected.)

d. Soras net working capital needs were estimated to be 18% of sales (which is their current level in year 0). If Sora can reduce this requirement to 12% of sales starting in year 1, but all other assumptions remain as in part (a), what stock price do you estimate for Sora? (Hint: This change will have the largest impact on Soras free cash flow in year 1.)
