The MoMi Corporation’s cash flow from operations before interest, depreciation and taxes was $2.0 million in the year just ended, and it expects that this will grow by 5% per year forever. To make this happen, the firm will have to invest an amount equal to 20% of pretax cash flow each year. The tax rate is 21%. Depreciation was $260,000 in the year just ended and is expected to grow at the same rate as the operating cash flow. The appropriate market capitalization rate for the unleveraged cash flow is 10% per year, and the firm currently has debt of $4 million outstanding. Use the free cash flow approach to calculate the value of the firm and the firm’s equity.

Kindly check explanation

Explanation:

Given the following :

Previous year cash flow from operations before interest, depreciation and taxes = $2.0 million

Growth rate (g) = 5% per year

Pretax cashflow per year = 20%

Tax rate = 21%

Depreciation = $260,000

Market capitalization rate = 10%

Outstanding debt = 4 million

Cash flow from operation before interest tax:

Previous year cashflow + (5% growth in previous year)

(2,000,000) + (0.05 * 2,000,000)

(2,000,000 + 100,000) = $2,100,000

Depreciation + growth (5%):

260,000 + (260,000*0.05) = $273,000

Taxable income = cashflow - depreciation

Taxable income = $(2,100,000 - 273,000)

= $1,827,000

Tax amount = 0.21 * 1827000 = $383670

After tax income = (1827000 - 383670):

After tax income = $1,443,330

After tax cash flow from operations :

(After tax unleveraged income + Depreciation)

After tax Cash flow from Operation = $1,443,330 + $273,000 = $1716330

New investment :

20% of pretax cashflow from operation:

0.2 * $2,100,000 = $420,000

Free cash flow = $1716330 - $420,000 = $1,296,330

Present value of all future free cash flow:

Free cashflow / (capitalization rate - growth rate) = 1296330 / (0.1 - 0.05)

= 1296330 / 0.05

= $25,926,600

Hence, value of firm = $25,926,600

Value of equity :

Value of firm - outstanding debt

$25,926,600 - $4,000,000

= $21,926,600
