Question
Calculate the forecasted free cash flow to equity (FCFE) for 2x12.
Answer Choices:
A. 10.5
B. –9.5
C. –49.5
Explanation
FCFE = FCFF – Int (1 – tax rate) + net borrowing
FCFE = –89.5 – 200(1 – 0.3) + 240 = 10.5
Net borrowing is the difference between the long-term and short-term debt accounts (the
impact caused by amortization of premiums and discounts should be removed if debt is
not issued at par):
= (620 + 70) – (400 + 50) = 240
Alternatively:
FCFE = NI + dep – FCINV – WCINV + net borrowing
= [(415 – 200) × 0.7] + 60 – 400 – 40 + 240 = 10.5
