Reeby Sports Case

Corporate Finance Case 1
1. To calculate the present value of future cash flow in 2013, we first calculate the free cash flow between
2014-2020:

Discount these cash flow into 2013 at 10%:
PV???ℎ ???? = 8.01

Then we calculated the horizon value of 2020, of which there are two types of calculation:
(a)
Suppose Reeby Sports will lose in the market competition and has no PVGO, then its 2020 horizon value will equal to:
PVH =

7.60
= 76.00
0.10

In this way, the present value of 2013 will be:
PV2013 = 8.01 +

76.00
= 47.00
(1 + 0.10)7

(b)
Suppose Reeby Sports will still win in its market competition in 2020, then its 2020 horizon value will equal to its free cash flow of 2021 over cost of capital minus growth rate.
To calculate its free cash flow of 2021, we first calculate the book value of equity of Reeby Sports:

With the book value of equity of 2021, we can calculate its net income:
Net income = Equity × ROE = 63.31 × 0.12 = 7.60
Retained profits = 7.60 × 0.60 = 4.56

then we can notice that:
Net capital spending +
