问题如下:
Matt is conducting a FCFF sensitivity analysis for Company M`s value. The most recent FCFF of Company M is $100 million. Assuming the tax rate is 35% and a stable capital structure of 40% debt and 60% equity, the company`s value is least sensitive to:
选项:
A.cost of equity
B.growth rate
C.after-tax cost of debt
解释:
C is correct.
考点:Sensitivity Analysis in FCFF and FCFE
解析:1. Cost of equity敏感性分析:保持rd = 5.5%,g = 5.0%
当re = 8.0%时,WACC = 0.4*5.5% + 0.6*8.0% = 7%
\(Firm\;Value=\frac{FCFF_0\times\left(1+g\right)}{WACC-g}=\frac{100\times\left(1+5\%\right)}{7\%-5\%}=5250\)
当re = 12.0%时,WACC = 0.4*5.5% + 0.6*12.0% = 9.4%
\(Firm\;Value=\frac{FCFF_0\times\left(1+g\right)}{WACC-g}=\frac{100\times\left(1+5\%\right)}{9.4\%-5\%}=2386.36\)
Range = 5250 – 2386.36 = 2863.64
2. After-tax cost of debt敏感性分析:保持re = 10%,g = 5%
当rd = 5.0%时,WACC = 0.4*5.0% + 0.6*10.0% = 8%
\(Firm\;Value=\frac{FCFF_0\times\left(1+g\right)}{WACC-g}=\frac{100\times\left(1+5\%\right)}{8\%-5\%}=3500\)
当rd = 6.0%时,WACC = 0.4*6.0% + 0.6*10.0% = 8.4%
\(Firm\;Value=\frac{FCFF_0\times\left(1+g\right)}{WACC-g}=\frac{100\times\left(1+5\%\right)}{8.4\%-5\%}=3088.24\)
Range = 3500 – 3088.24 = 411.76
3. Growth rate敏感性分析:保持re = 10%,rd = 5.5%
WACC = 0.4*5.5% + 0.6*10.0% = 8.2%
当g = 4%时,
\(Firm\;Value=\frac{FCFF_0\times\left(1+g\right)}{WACC-g}=\frac{100\times\left(1+4\%\right)}{8.2\%-4\%}=2476.2\)
当g = 6%时,
\(Firm\;Value=\frac{FCFF_0\times\left(1+g\right)}{WACC-g}=\frac{100\times\left(1+6\%\right)}{8.2\%-6\%}=4818.2\)
Range =4818.2 - 2476.2 = 2342
三者相比,敏感性最弱的是after-tax cost of debt。
这题,我个人是用了定性判断,并没有采取定量的方法。 因为其余两项,都在分母上,分母变动一点,对于整个估值的影响是很大的,儿int 在分子上,影响可能比较有限。这种思路是否可行呢?
