All cases

Stress an investment in a regional operator

Value a base and downside case · Fictional case

The situation

Next-year recurring FCFF is ₹36 crore in the base case and ₹27 crore in downside. Both use 10% WACC and zero growth. The proposed operating price is ₹310 crore.

Your task

Is the price below modeled value in both scenarios?

Reveal step-by-step solution
  1. Set up the problem

    With flat perpetual cash flows starting in one year, divide each cash flow by 10%.

  2. Work through the numbers

    Base value is ₹360 crore. Downside is ₹270 crore. At ₹310 crore, the gaps are +₹50 crore and −₹40 crore relative to price.

  3. Interpret the result

    The price clears the base case and fails the downside. Identify what would protect value if the weaker cash flow materializes.

What to remember

Keep each scenario internally consistent. Explain which assumptions drive the valuation range and where the price sits.
