QUESTION 1
You wish to value the shares of Sunwolves Pty Ltd, which is currently unlisted. The company is considering becoming listed on the JSE but needs your help in determining the initial offering price. The company's only other sources of capital are corporate bonds with a current market value of R3 000 000 and convertible preference shares of R 5 250 000.
You have forecast the Free Cash Flow to be R 975 000 for the next financial year (2021) after which it is expected to grow at 8% per annum for the next four years. After that, the cash flows are expected to increase at a constant growth rate of two percent (2%) less than the initial growth rate period.
The company has a WACC (Weighted Average Cost of Capital) of 15% and the cost of equity has been calculated at 18%.
Required:
1. Calculate the current value of Sunwolves Pty Ltd using the Free Cash Flow valuation method. (Round off all answers to the nearest whole number.)
2. Suggest an initial list price per share if 150 000 ordinary shares are in issue.
3. Mr Joseph, a director at Sunwolves Pty Ltd has questioned why the price/earnings valuation model hasn't been used to value the ordinary shares of Sunwolves Ltd.
