MINICASE REPORT PRAIRIE STORES
What is the Rate of Return Percentage?
In the mini-case, Mr. Breezeway indicated two kinds of percentage to determine the required return. One of them is the companies' return on book equity (% 15) and the other one is the investment return percentage in the rural supermarket industry (% 11) which shows that investors in rural supermarket chains, with risks similar to Prairie Home Stores, expected to earn about % 11 percent on average. Since the companies' rate of return determined by the rate of return offered by other equally risky stocks, then it should be % 11.
The Rapid Growth Scenario
Step 1: Being able to calculate the present value of the companies' stocks, we should first calculate the present value of the companies' dividends.
Years 2016-2021= 0÷(1.11) + 0÷(1.11)2 +0÷(1.11)3 +0÷(1.11)4 +14÷(1.11)5 +14.7÷(1.11)6 = 8.31+7.86 = 16.17 $ Present value of the dividends between 2016-2021 Step 2 : In step 2, we should estimate the Prairie Stores' stock price at the horizon year (2021), when growth rate has settled down. According to mini-case, after 2019 the company will resume its normal growth. Since the investment plan is going to continue 6 years, we should choose the year 2021 as a horizon year.

Growth rate: plowback ratio × return on equity (Given in the notes)

Plowback ratio = Retained earnings ÷ Earnings (2021) = 7.4 million ÷ 22 million = 0.33 % 33

Return on equity = Earnings ÷ Book value, start of the year (2021) = 22 million ÷ 146.9 million = 0.15 % 15

Growth rate = % 33 × % 15 = % 5

Div 2022 = 1.05 ×14.7 P2021 = Dividend 2022 ÷ r - g = 15.44 $ = 15.44 million ÷ 0.11- 0.05 = 257.33 million

Step 3 :Being able to find the present value of total stocks ( at the beginning of 2016), first we should discount the 2021 total stock value by 6 years and we

    FIN 571 Stock Valuation Week 4

    A primary “goal for management is to maximize the current value of the firm’s stock” (Parrino, Kidwell, Bates, 2012, pg. 12). As a result, understanding the true value of stock is beneficial. Stock valuation is important to identify which stocks are more desirable and will maximize wealth. Since stock has an effect on business and one’s own portfolio, valuing stock is critical. Several methods to value stock exist however; there is no best method for this valuation. Each stock contains its own characteristics to analyze based on the company issuing it. One must analyze the business and stock to find the ideal stock valuation method. By comparing the market price of stock to the realized value in the stock valuation, one can determine whether a certain stock is the optimal choice.…

    Coke vs. Pepsi

    The two companies are difficult to distinguish as both companies have made investments however the method in which they have made those investments differ. Coke has approximately 45% of its total assets through investments made in the bottling industry. Pepsi has consolidated financial statements taking into account Frito Lay as a subsidiary. It would appear that Pepsi is the larger company because their total amount of assets is greater due to the consolidation of Pepsi and Frito Lay. However this in turn leads to Pepsi carrying significantly more debt in its financial structure compared to Coke ($4,028 vs. $687)…

    Solutions to Valuation Questions

    Solutions to Valuation Questions 1. Assume you expect a company’s net income to remain stable at $1,100 for all future years, and you expect all earnings to be distributed to stockholders at the end of each year, so that common equity also remains stable for all future years (assumes clean surplus). Also, assume the company’s β = 1.5, the market risk premium is 4% and the 20-30 year yield on risk free treasury bonds is 5%. Finally, assume the company has 1,000 shares of common stock outstanding. a. Use the CAPM to estimate the company’s equity cost of capital. • re = RF + β * (RM – RF) = 0.05 + 1.5 * 0.04 = 11% b. Compute the expected net distributions to stockholders for each future year. • D = NI – ΔCE = $1,100 – 0 = $1,100 c. Use the dividend discount (i.e., free cash flow to equity investors) valuation model to estimate the company’s current stock price. • Pe = D / re = $1,100 / 0.11 = $10,000 • price per share = $10,000 / 1,000 = $10 2. Same facts as in (1) above, but assume you expect the company’s income to be $1,100 in the coming year and to grow at the rate of 5% in every subsequent year into infinity. Also, assume that the company’s common equity as of the end of the most recent fiscal year is $8,000, and the investment needed to support the growth in net income causes common equity to increase by 5% each year. Assume the company is an all-equity firm; i.e., all financing comes from stockholders and none comes for debtholders. In this case, the company’s balance sheet has net operating assets (NOA) of $8,000, common equity (CE) of $8,000, and zero net financial obligations (NFO). a. Compute D1 for the coming year and the rate of growth in Dt for every year thereafter. • D1 = NI1 – ΔCE1 = 1,100 – 0.05 * 8,000 = 700 • D2 = NI2 – ΔCE2 = (1,100 * 1.05) – 0.05 * (1.05 * 8,000) = 1.05 * (1,100 – 0.05 * 8,000) = 735 = 700 * (1 + 0.05) • D3 = NI3 – ΔCE3 = (1,100 * 1.052) – 0.05 * (1.052 * 8,000) = 771.75 = 735 * (1 + 1.05) • so D is 700 in year 1 and grows at 5%…

    Star Appliances B

    In addition to the estimation of the cost of equity, Star Appliance Company is also considering increasing their current debt ratio of 9.5% to the industry average of 19%. With a higher current debt ratio the WACC will be lower, at a rate of 8.24%. The cost of equity of each product was valued using the beta from the industry averages. The beta of the home appliance industry is 0.95, while the beta of the agricultural machinery industry is 0.88. Through the use of the CAPM model, these betas yield a cost of equity for the home appliances of 11.29% and for the agricultural machinery of 10.7%. The WACC of each individual project is then compared to the project’s IRR. The WACC of the home appliance project was found to be 10.4% and the WACC of the agricultural machinery project was calculated as 9.92%, while the IRR’s of the appliance and agricultural machinery projects were 11.29% and 10.7%, respectively. Therefore, both projects should be accepted based on the notion that the internal rate of return of each project is greater than the weighted average cost of capital.…
