Question

10-Ward Corp. is expected to have an EBIT of $2,300,000 next year. Depreciation, the increase in net working capital, and capital spending are expected to be $173,000, $101,000, and $123,000, respectively. All are expected to grow at 16 percent per year for four years. The company currently has $17,000,000 in debt and 830,000 shares outstanding. After Year 5, the adjusted cash flow from assets is expected to grow at 3 percent indefinitely. The company’s WACC is 8.8 percent and the tax rate is 40 percent.

What is the price per share of the company's stock? (Do not round intermediate calculations and round your final answer to 2 decimal places, e.g., 32.16.)

Explanation / Answer

Free cash flow in year 1=2300000*(1-40%)+173000-101000-123000=1329000

value of the company

=1329000/1.088^1+(1329000*1.16^1)/1.088^2+(1329000*1.16^2)/1.088^3+(1329000*1.16^3)/1.088^4+(1329000*1.16^4)/1.088^5+((1329000*1.16^4*1.03)/(8.8%-3%))/1.088^5

=35001083.72

the price per share of the company's stock=(35001083.72-17000000)/830000=21.69

the above is the answer.
