Question

Assume that today is December 31, 2019, and that the following information applies to Abner Airlines:

After-tax operating income [EBIT(1 - T)] for 2020 is expected to be $650 million.
The depreciation expense for 2020 is expected to be $190 million.
The capital expenditures for 2020 are expected to be $200 million.
No change is expected in net operating working capital.
The free cash flow is expected to grow at a constant rate of 4% per year.
The required return on equity is 14%.
The WACC is 10%.
The firm has $194 million of non-operating assets.
The market value of the company's debt is $5.123 billion.
350 million shares of stock are outstanding.

Using the corporate valuation model approach, what should be the company's stock price today? Do not round intermediate calculations. Round your answer to the nearest cent.

Answer 1

EBIT(1-T) =$650 million

Add: Depreciation (non cash) =$190 million

Less capital expenditure =$200 million

Free cash flow =$640 million

Value of firm is equal to expected free cash flow/(WACC - GROWTH RATE)

= 640/(10%-4%)

=$10,666.67 million

Add non operating assets =$194 million

Less value of debt = 5123 million

Value of equity =$5737.67 million

Number of shares = 350 million

Price per share =$16.39333

I.e. $16.39 per share
