valuation approach is that the firm’s book value of equity represents equity value
in place (that is, the accumulation of previous net investments by shareholders,

positive, the firm was profitable and in fact earned income that exceeded the
amount of income required to meet shareholders’ required return on their invested
capital. If a firm’s residual income for a particular year is negative, the firm’s

competition will reduce the firm’s prices and profit margins, which will reduce
net income and, therefore, residual income.

e. The residual income amounts imply that all three firms will create substantial
amounts of shareholder wealth in Year +1. Microsoft is the largest firm of the
set and will create the largest amount of shareholder wealth (nearly $13 billion)
in Year +1, whereas Intel will generate over $4 billion of shareholder wealth in
Year +1, and Dell will create over $1.4 billion in shareholder wealth in Year
+1. Even though this is the smallest dollar amount of residual income, Dell is
creating the highest residual ROCE. Microsoft has the largest book value of
equity of this set of firms and the largest residual income (at least in Year +1),
which partially explains why it has the largest market value of equity.

In this problem, we estimate cost of equity capital for Coca-Cola and use the
residual income valuation approach to estimate Coca-Cola’s share value. The
problem also asks students to run a bit of sensitivity analysis and make a recom
mendation on Coca-Cola stock based on this analysis. The market equity beta for
Coca-Cola at the end of 2015 is 0.75. Assume that the risk-free interest rate is
3.0% and the market risk premium is 6.0%. Coca-Cola has 4,324 million shares
outstanding at the end of 2015, when Coca-Cola’s share price was $42.96.
