Part 2: FCFF calculation and forecasts:

  • Make FCFF forecasts for years 1-7.
  • For years 1-2 calculate FCFF based on previously forecasted income statement and balance sheet.
  • For years 3-7 assume that FCFF grows 3% annually

What is FCFF for the last year provided in the financials? 

What is FCFF in forecasted year 1? 

What is FCFF in forecasted year 7? 

Use the following cost of capital:

  1. Cost of equity: 9,6%
  2. WACC: 6,6%

Part 3: Equity valuation

Find the value of equity using the forecasted 7 years of FCFF. Do not consider terminal value but calculate discounted free cash flow only based on the forecasted 7 years. 

What is the value of the equity?
