Projected residual ROCE amounts for Coca-Cola in Years +1 to +6 are
shown in Exhibit 14A.
d. The data in the exhibit indicate that the sum of the present value of residual
ROCE for Coca-Cola for Years +1 through +5 amounts to 1.91. This indicates
that over Years +1 through +5, Coca-Cola will earn positive residual ROCE
that, in present value, is equivalent to 0.91 times beginning book value of
equity.
e. The data in the exhibit indicate that projected residual ROCE in Year +6 will be
22.5%. Using the 7.50% required rate of return on common equity from Solu-
tion a as a discount rate and the 3.0% long-run growth rate from Solution c,
we compute the continuing value of Coca-Cola as of the start of Year +6 and
discount it to present value at the start of Year +1. The present value of con-
tinuing value is 3.88 [0.225/(0.0750 – 0.030) × 0.697].
