Question
IDX Technologies is a privately held developer of advanced security systems based in Chicago. As part of your business development strategy, in late 2013 you initiate discussions with IDX's founder about the possibility of acquiring the business at the end of 2013. Estimate the value of IDX per share using a discounted FCF approach and the following data: Debt: $23 million Excess cash: $108 million Shares outstanding: 50 million Expected FCF in 2014: $49 million Expected FCF in 2015: $59 million Future FCF growth rate beyond 2015: 6% Weighted-average cost of capital: 9.4% The terminal enterprise value in 2014 is s million. (Round to the nearest integer)Explanation / Answer
Terminal Enterprise value in 2014 = FCF in 2015/(WACC -Growth) = 59/(9.4% - 6%) = 59/3.4% = 1735.29 rounded off to 1735
Enterprise value at year 2013 = 49/(1+6%) + 1735/(1+6%)2 = 1549.03
Price per share = Enterprise Value /no of shares = 1549.03/50 = 31.81( not rounding intermdiate answers)
Best of Luck. God Bless
