New Stock Issue
Bynum and Crumpton Inc. (B&C), a small jewelry manufacturer, has been successful and has enjoyed a positive growth trend. Now B&C is planning to go public with an issue of common stock, and it faces the problem of setting an appropriate price for the stock. The company and its investment banks believe that the proper procedure is to conduct a valuation and select several similar firms with publicly traded common stock and to make relevant comparisons.
Several jewelry manufacturers are reasonably similar to B&C with respect to product mix, asset composition, and debt/equity proportions. Of these companies, Abercrombe Jewelers and Gunter Fashions are most similar. When analyzing the following data, assume that the most recent year has been reasonably "normal" in the sense that it was neither especially good nor especially bad in terms of sales, earnings, and free cash flows. Abercrombe is listed on the AMEX and Gunter on the NYSE, while B&C will be traded in the Nasdaq market.
B) Calculate debt to total assets, P/E, market to book, P/FCF, and ROE for Abercrombe, Gunter, and B&C. For calculations that require a price for B&C, use the per share price you obtained with the corporate valuation model in part a. Round your answers to two decimal places. Round ROE to one decimal place.
C.) Using Abercrombe's and Gunter's P/E, Market/Book, and Price/FCF ratios, calculate the range of prices for B&C's stock that would be consistent with these ratios. For example, if you multiply B&C's earnings per share by Abercrombe's P/E ratio you get a price. What range of prices do you get? Round your answers to the nearest cent.
The range of prices:
from $ _____ to $ _______?

from $ _____ to $ _______?
Explanation / Answer
(A): Estimate B&C's intrinsic value of equity and intrinsic per share price:
Intrinsic value of equity = Total business value - Debt value
= $31286800 - $4000000
= $ 27286800
Intrinsic per share price = $ 27286800 / 500000 shares
= $ 54.57 per share
Note: Total business value = free cash flow after 5 year / (WACC - Free cash flow growth rate)
= $1564340 / (12% - 7%)
= $ 31286800
Free cash flow after 5 year will be stable at 7% per year
Free cash flow after 5 year = $1462000 + ( $1,462,000 * 7%)
= $1462000 + $102340
= $1564340
