2022 Calculations

2 Interest expense, after tax = Interest expense × (1 – EITR)
= 25 × (1 – 19.00%)
= 20

3 EBIT(1 – EITR) = Net earnings – Gain from discontinued operations, net of tax + Interest expense, after tax
= 2,454 – 0 + 20
= 2,474

4 RR = [EBIT(1 – EITR) – Interest expense (after tax) and dividends] ÷ EBIT(1 – EITR)
= [2,474 – 708] ÷ 2,474
= 0.71

5 ROIC = 100 × EBIT(1 – EITR) ÷ Total capital
= 100 × 2,474 ÷ 4,249
= 58.23%

6 g = RR × ROIC
= 0.63 × 27.66%
= 17.45%

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

g = 100 × (Total capital, fair value0 × WACC – FCFF0) ÷ (Total capital, fair value0 + FCFF0)
= 100 × (19,672 × 17.17% – 2,533) ÷ (19,672 + 2,533)
= 3.81%

where:

Total capital, fair value0 = current fair value of Best Buy Co. Inc. debt and equity (US$ in millions)
FCFF0 = the last year Best Buy Co. Inc. free cash flow to the firm (US$ in millions)
WACC = weighted average cost of Best Buy Co. Inc. capital

1 g1 17.45%
2 g2 14.04%
3 g3 10.63%
4 g4 7.22%
5 and thereafter g5 3.81%

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)
= 17.45% + (3.81% – 17.45%) × (2 – 1) ÷ (5 – 1)
= 14.04%

g3 = g1 + (g5 – g1) × (3 – 1) ÷ (5 – 1)
= 17.45% + (3.81% – 17.45%) × (3 – 1) ÷ (5 – 1)
= 10.63%

g4 = g1 + (g5 – g1) × (4 – 1) ÷ (5 – 1)
= 17.45% + (3.81% – 17.45%) × (4 – 1) ÷ (5 – 1)
= 7.22%
