d. Under these assumptions, Enron’s shares appear to be priced by the market to
yield a 4.413% rate of return, as shown above, which is only marginally
greater than the prevailing risk-free rate of return. Enron’s shares appear to be

b. and c.
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].

Part II—Analyzing Coca-Cola’s Share Price Using the Value-Earnings Ratio,
Price-Earnings Ratio, and Reverse Engineering
j. Our Year +1 earnings per share based on projected comprehensive income
available for common shareholders in Year +1 of $7,342.3 million divided by
7.50% expected return implied by the CAPM. We determine this by assuming
that value equals price and that our earnings and 3% long-run growth forecasts
through Year +6 and beyond are reliable proxies for the market’s expectations
for Coca-Cola. We then solve for the implied expected rate of return (the dis-
count rate) the market has impounded in Coca-Cola’s share price by varying

a. The following table uses data and analyses for Starbucks from this chapter and
the data and analyses for Coca-Cola from the previous problem to compare
these two competitors on the following dimensions:
dollar amounts in millions Starbucks Coca-Cola
(1) Both Starbucks and Coca-Cola have similar costs of equity capital and both
are expected to generate very high ROCE next year (and beyond). Forecasts
(2) Reverse engineering suggests that the market has priced Starbucks’ shares to

(3) Reverse engineering suggests that the market prices for Starbucks’ shares
reflect less value for long-run growth than Coca-Cola shares (2.157% versus
4.030%, respectively).
