Notes:
a) The discount rate is the unlevered (all equity) cost of capital = Rf + bA*RP = 6% + (0.84*6%) =11.0%
b) The cash flows ignore the tax impact of launch aid, which is technically taxable when received. They also ignore
cash flows associated with pre-payments and progress payments for planes. Most assumptions are from case p. 8.
c) Assumes 10-year straight-line depreciation until 2005, then a maintenance level where depreciation equals new capital expe
new capital expenditures.
d) Because operating profit is net of depreciation expense, it must add it back after 2006 to avoid double counting.
e) Assumes Airbus Integrated Company (AIC) can use the tax losses incurred in current year.
f) Assumes depreciation equals capital expenditures after 2005.
g) Assumes net working capital grows at inflation after 2006.
h) The terminal value growth rate equals the inflation rate. The terminal value in 2008 is equal to:
TV08 = FCF09 / (discount rate - inflation rate)
