example :
Which of the following correctly represents the value of Alphas Start-up Co using the discounted cash flow basis?
$'000
Y1 - 130
Y2 - 180
Y3 - 210
Y4 - 240
calculation :
?PV of cash flows = $575(000s)
Value of perpetuity = 240*1.02/(0.11-0.02) = $2,720(000s)
PV of perpetuity = 2,720*0.659 = $1,792(000s)
Total value = $2,367(000s) (575 + 1792)
question 1 : the formula of perpetuity factory with growth had changed from (1/r-g) to (1+g/r-g)??
question 2 : the perpetuity factory with growth formula PV = CF @ T1 * 1/r-g, why do we need to time the DF @ Y4

1y ago#1The formula for the perpetuity factor with growth has changed from (1/r-g) to (1+g/r-g). This change accounts for the growth rate of the cash flows in perpetuity.
In the perpetuity factor with growth formula PV = CF @ T1 * 1/r-g, we need to discount the cash flow at Year 4 (CF @ T1) because it represents the cash flow at the beginning of the perpetuity period. Discounting it allows us to calculate the present value of the perpetuity.
