Everest Manufacturing Industrial Limited started 4 years ago, is expected to grow at a higher rate of 4 years in the coming years and thereafter the growth rate will fall and stabilize at a lower level. The following information has been made available to you for your analysis: Base Year (Year 0) Information (In Million ₹) Revenues 3000 Million EBIT 500 Million Capital Expenditure 350 Million Depreciation 250 Million Net Working Capital as a percentage of EBIT 25% Corporate tax rate (for all scenarios) 30% Paid-up Equity Capital (10 Face Value) 400 Million Market value of debt 1200 Million Inputs for the High Growth Phase Length of high growth phase 4 years Growth rate in revenues, depreciation 20% Net Working Capital as a percentage of EBIT 25% Cost of debt (pre-tax) 13% Debt-equity ratio 1:1 Risk-free rate 11% Market risk premium 7% Equity Beta 1.129 Inputs for the Stable Growth Phase Expected growth rate in revenues and EBIT 10% Capital expenditure are offset by depreciation Net Working Capital as a percentage of EBIT 25% Cost of debt (pre-tax) 12.14% Risk-free rate 10% Market risk premium 6% Equity Beta 1.0 Debt-equity ratio 2:3 With above information background, answer the following questions of the Management: What will be the Cost of Capital and WACC for the high growth phase and for the stable growth phase, if the debt-equity ratio is 1:2 during high growth phase and 3:2 in the stable growth phase? Will this change impact the Value of the Firm? If yes, what will be the value of the Firm with revised debt equity ratio?

Answer & Explanation:

If the debt equity ratio is 1:2 during high growth phase, then WACC will be: Weighted Average Cost of Capital = W E r E + W D r D WACC = 0.67 * 18.90 + 0.33 * 9.10 = 12.667 + 3.003 = 15.67% If the debt-equity ratio is 3:2 during stable growth phase, then WACC will be: WACC = 0.40 * 16.00 + 0.60 * 8.50 = 6.40 + 5.10 = 11.50% WACC during High growth phase = 15.670% WACC during Stable growth phase = 11.50% The present value of the FCF during the explicit forecast period is: [150/(1.1567)] + [180/(1.1567) 2 ] + [216/(1.1567) 3 ] + [259.20/(1.1567) 4 ] = [150/1.1567] + [180/1.338] + [216/1.548] + [259.20/1.790] = [129.68] + [134.53] + [139.57] + [144.80] = 548.58 million PV of FCF during High Growth period = 548.58 million The present value of the terminal value is: Terminal Value = [FCF 5 / (WACC - g)] * [1/(1.1567) 4 ] = [642.8/(0.115 - 0.10)] * [1/(1.1567) 4 ] = [642.8/0.015] * [0.55862] = [42853.33] * [0.55862] = 23,938.73 million PV of Terminal Value = 23,938.73 million The Value of the Firm is = PV of FCF during high growth period + PV of Terminal Value = 548.58 million + 23,938.73 million = 24,487.31 million Value of the Firm = 24,487.31 million As the cost of Debt is cheaper Value of the Firm Increases considerably during the growth period.
