    Hello Sir,For PYQ March /June 2017 Q1 Appendix Three :Estimate of value

    As the examiner answer also mentioned can use free cash flows to equity and discounted with Ke

    I have calculated at this way, but the amount has some different so I worry I had done it wrong

    1)The interest payment is it $81m?And I get the FCF to equity is $3622m(PBT deduct int $81m and accounted for 18% tax)

    And I take the $3622 times with growth rate of 4% and accounted for perpetuity with growth(/0.1409-0.04) and getting the answer of $37333, which is different from the $46144 of the examiner answer.

    Please advise me if I’m doing wrong,Thank you.

    What you are doing is correct. I know it seems a big difference, but it is a combination of rounding (in for example the WACC) and the assumptions made between FCFE and FCF. You would still have got the marks.

    Hi John, I was able to get the FCF to perpetuity of 4698 but i proceeded to multiply by the discount rate of 10% to get the present value. The answer did not do this step.

    I do not know why you discounted for an extra year.

    The dividend growth model gives the PV of an inflating perpetuity for which the first flow is in 1 years time.
