WACC = weighted average cost of capital
The formula for calculate terminal value is:
Growth trend
The growth rate used for calculating the
terminal value is the rate at which the cash
flows are expected to increase beyond the
explicit forecast period till infinity
You may also use a various exit multiples to the free cash flow of the terminal year for
computing the terminal value; P/E, P/B or multiple on EBITDA
Terminal growth is the rate the firm would grow after it reaches the steady state growth phase
A firm which is presently growing at 22%, in a industry which is growing at 10%, is unlikely to
grow at that rate once it has reached a stable growth, because it has exhausted some or all of the
differential advantage that gave it the high margin
