Sagot :

Answer:

a) first we have to calculate the terminal value at year 5:

terminal value = ($245 x 1.04) / (12% - 4%) = $254.8 / 8% = $3,185

year     cash flow

1             $120

2            $145

3            $176

4            $199

5            $245 + $3,185 = $3,430

Using a financial calculator, the enterprise value = $2,420.75

b) again, using a financial calculator, the discount rate at which the enterprise value is $3,000 would be 6.8423%
