Nonconstant FCF Growth Valuation Reizenstein Technologies (RT) has just developed a solar panel capable of generating 200% more electricity than any solar panel currently on the market. As a result, RT is expected to experience a 16% annual growth rate for the next 5 years. By the end of 5 years, other firms will have developed comparable technology, and RT's growth rate will slow to 7% per year indefinitely. RT has a 13% weighted average cost of capital. The most recent annual free cash flow (FCF0) was $3.20 million.

a.FCF 1 = FCF 0 (1+Growth rate)
= 3.20 million (1+16%) = $3.712 million
FCF2 = 3.20(1.16)2 = $4.306 million
FCF 3 = 3.20(1.16)3 = $4.995 million
FCF 4 = 3.20(1.16)4 = $5.794 million
FCF 5 = 3.20(1.16)5 = $6.721 million
b.Horizon value = 6.721(1+7%)/(13%-7%)
= $119.86 million
c.Present value = 119.86/(1.13)5
= $65.06 million
d.Present value = 3.712/(1.13) + 4.306/(1.13)2 + 4.995/(1.13)3 + 5.794/(1.13)4 + 6.721/(1.13)5
= $17.32 million
e.Value of operations = 65.06+17.32
= $82.38 millions
