share for 2008. Despite the economic downturn, BMI is confident regarding its current

investment opportunities. But due to the financial crisis, BMI does not wish to fund these

investments externally. The Board has therefore decided to suspend its stock repurchase plan

and cut its dividend to $1 per share (vs. almost $2 per share in 2007), and retain these funds

instead. The firm has just paid the 2008 dividend, and BMI plans to keep its dividend at $1 per

share in 2009 as well. In subsequent years, it expects its growth opportunities to slow, and it will

If Sora’s weighted average cost of capital is 10%, what is the value of Sora’s stock based on

this information?

b. Sora’s cost of goods sold was assumed to be 67% of sales. If its cost of goods sold is actually

70% of sales, how would the estimate of the stock’s value change?

c. Let’s return to the assumptions of part (a) and suppose Sora can maintain its cost of goods

sold at 67% of sales. However, now suppose Sora reduces its selling, general, and

administrative expenses from 20% of sales to 16% of sales. What stock price would you

estimate now? (Assume no other expenses, except taxes, are affected.)

*d. Sora’s net working capital needs were estimated to be 18% of sales (which is their current

level in year 0). If Sora can reduce this requirement to 12% of sales starting in year 1, but all

other assumptions remain as in part (a), what stock price do you estimate for Sora? (Hint:

This change will have the largest impact on Sora’s free cash flow in year 1.)

9-21. Consider the valuation of Kenneth Cole Productions in Example 9.7.
