Flow to equity

Use the following information for Nike, Inc, and define the cost of equity using the Capital Asset Pricing Model.

After tax interest cost =                                                          6.0%

Beta =                                                                                      1.2

Beginning Book Value of Equity =                                        $15 billion

Current stock price =                                                              $106 per share

Dividends (current year) =                                                      $1.48 per share per year

Dividend growth rate =                                                           5%

Earnings per Share =                                                              $3.24/share

Equity Rist Premium =                                                           7.5%

Market Cap =                                                                          $164.3 billion

Net Debt to Capital =                                                              20%

NOPAT Margin =                                                                   8%                  

Risk Free Rate =                                                                     4.4%

Sales / Beginning Long-term assets =                                    20

Sales / Beginning Net Operating Working Capital =             10

3a. Following the assumptions of our Kroger Model, compute the impact of $10,000 of additional sales next year at Nike on Nike’s free cash flow to equity next year.  Be clear to indicate a direction as well as an amount (i.e., “+$5,000” or “-$1,000”, not just “6000”.  Round to the nearest $1.  Show your computations. (10 points)

3b.  Assuming that the $1 increase in sales lasts “forever”, but that the additional investment is only necessary one time, compute the impact of the $1 of additional sales on Nike’s current valuation.  Again, be sure to indicate a direction as well as an amount.  Show your computations.
