Based on Exhibit 4, Singh and Ho should conclude that under Scenario 2, shares of Bern are:
选项:
fairly valued.
C.overvalued.
解释:
A is correct. The total market value of the firm is the sum of the debt, preferred stock, and common stock market values: 15,400 + 4,000 + 18,100 = 37,500 million.
WACC = [wd × rd(1 Tax rate)] + (wp × rp) + (we × re).
= [(15,400/37,500)(0.060)(1 0.269] + (4,000/37,500)(0.055) + (18,100/37,500)(0.11) = 7.70%.
Under the assumption that Bern has a low growth rate because it did not receive regulatory approval for its new drugs, the value of Bern can be analyzed using a two-stage valuation model.
Company value =
The terminal value at the end of Year 3 is TV3 = FCFF4/(WACC g4).
TV3 = 3,398.66/(0.0770 – 0.0075) = €48,901.58 million.
The total value of operating assets = (3,040.37 + 2,865.42 + 2,700.53) + 48,901.58/(1 + 0.0770)3 = 8,606.32 + 39,144.95 = 47,751.27
Value of Bern’s common stock = Value of operating assets + Value of non-operating assets – Market value of debt – Preferred stock = 47,751.27 + 50.00 – 15,400 – 4,000 = €28,401.27
Since
the current market value of Bern’s common stock (18,100 million) is less than the
estimated value (million), the shares are
undervalued.
这道题不太严谨啊,本来就是问common stock是被低估还是被高估,但是在求WACC的时候用了市场现在的信息,那不就默认现在common stock的price是合理定价的吗?或者说与分析师认为的是一致的。我觉着WACC应该用分析师自己建模得出来的信息来得出,再去求value of common stock,然后与price of common stock去对比。
