Question: Vernon Enterprises has current after-tax operating income of $100 million and a cost of capital of 10 percent. The firm earns a return on capital equal to its cost of capital.
Assume that the firm is in stable growth, growing 5 percent a year forever; estimate the firm's reinvestment rate? Given this reinvestment rate, estimate the value of the firm? What is the value of the firm, if you assume a zero reinvestment rate and no growth?
