a. Forecast the parts of the income statement and balance sheets necessary to calculate free cash flow.
b. Calculate free cash flow for each projected year. Also calculate the growth rates of free cash flow each
year to ensure that there is constant growth (i.e., the same as the constant growth rate in sales) by the end of
the forecast period.
c. Calculate the return on invested capital (ROIC=NOPAT/Total net operating capital) and the growth rate in
free cash flow. What is the ROIC in the last year of the forecast? What is the long–term constant growth rate in
free cash flow (gL is the growth rate in FCF in the last forecast period because all ratios are constant)? Do you
think that Hensley‘s value would increase if it could add growth without reducing its ROIC? (Hint: Growth will

c. Calculate the return on invested capital (ROIC=NOPAT/Total net operating capital) and the growth rate in
free cash flow. What is the ROIC in the last year of the forecast? What is the long-term constant growth rate in
free cash flow (gL is the growth rate in FCF in the last forecast period because all ratios are constant)? Do you
think that Hensley’s value would increase if it could add growth without reducing its ROIC? (Hint: Growth will
add value if the ROIC > WACC/[1+WACC]). Do you think that the company will have a value of operations
greater than its total net operating capital? (Hint: Is ROIC > WACC/[1+gL]?)
d. Calculate the current value of operations. (Hint: First calculate the horizon value at the end of the forecast
period, which is equal to the value of operations at the end of the forecast period. Assume that the annual
growth rate beyond the horizon is equal to the growth rate at the horizon.) How does the current value of
operations compare with the current amount of total net operating capital?
ROIC is greater than WACC/(1+gL), so the value of operations should be greater than the total net operating
capital. Also, ROIC is greater than WACC/(1+WACC), so growth should add value.
The value of operations is greater than the total net operating capital because the ROIC is greater than
WACC/(1+gL).
Value of common equity $994.6
Divided by number of shares 10
Price per share $99.5

The value of operations is greater than the total net operating capital because the ROIC is greater than
WACC/(1+gL).
