2021 Calculations

1 Retention rate = (Net income – Cash dividends, common – Cash dividends, preferred) ÷ (Net income – Cash dividends, preferred)
= (2,092 – 958 – 90) ÷ (2,092 – 90)
= 0.52

2 Profit margin = 100 × (Net income – Cash dividends, preferred) ÷ Revenues
= 100 × (2,092 – 90) ÷ 20,248
= 9.89%

3 Asset turnover = Revenues ÷ Total assets
= 20,248 ÷ 53,866
= 0.38

4 Financial leverage = Total assets ÷ Shareholders’ equity
= 53,866 ÷ 23,677
= 2.28

5 g = Retention rate × Profit margin × Asset turnover × Financial leverage
= 0.28 × 6.33% × 0.33 × 2.64
= 1.53%

FCFE growth rate (g) implied by single-stage model

g = 100 × (Equity market value0 × r – FCFE0) ÷ (Equity market value0 + FCFE0)
= 100 × (74,014 × 11.35% – 3,173) ÷ (74,014 + 3,173)
= 6.78%

where:
Equity market value0 = current market value of Becton, Dickinson & Co. common stock (US$ in millions)
FCFE0 = the last year Becton, Dickinson & Co. free cash flow to equity (US$ in millions)
r = required rate of return on Becton, Dickinson & Co. common stock

1 g1 1.53%
2 g2 2.84%
3 g3 4.15%
4 g4 5.46%
5 and thereafter g5 6.78%

where:
g1 is implied by PRAT model
g5 is implied by single-stage model
g2, g3 and g4 are calculated using linear interpoltion between g1 and g5

Calculations

g2 = g1 + (g5 – g1) × (2 – 1) ÷ (5 – 1)
= 1.53% + (6.78% – 1.53%) × (2 – 1) ÷ (5 – 1)
= 2.84%

g3 = g1 + (g5 – g1) × (3 – 1) ÷ (5 – 1)
= 1.53% + (6.78% – 1.53%) × (3 – 1) ÷ (5 – 1)
= 4.15%

g4 = g1 + (g5 – g1) × (4 – 1) ÷ (5 – 1)
= 1.53% + (6.78% – 1.53%) × (4 – 1) ÷ (5 – 1)
= 5.46%
