RYBR Inc., an all-equity firm, has net income of £100 million currently and expects this number to grow at 10% a year for the next three years. The firm’s working capital increased by £10 million this year and is expected to increase by the same £ amount each of the next three years. The depreciation is £50 million and is expected to grow 8% a year for the next three years. Finally, the firm plans to invest £60 million in capital expenditure for each of the next three years. The firm pays 60% of its earnings as dividends each year. RYBR has a cash balance of £50 million today.
