Below appear the 2020 actual financial statements, a set of assumptions, and templates for the 2021
forecasted financial statements for ChknPotPi, Inc, a manufacturer of frozen meals. Use the assumptions
to fill in the boxed items on the 2021 forecasted financial statements and show all work clearly in the
space provided. Note that in this forecast, equity is the “plug” account. Also note that “Net issuance
(repurchase) of stock and (dividends)” on the cash flow statement includes all transactions with
shareholders. The ratios provided in the ratio handout that I provided before the exam will be helpful. (If
you get stuck on a specific item, indicate you are stuck and fill in an assumed value to enable you to
complete the pro-formas.) Write your answers and show your work to this question on page 1 of your
submission. Please clearly label the answers to your questions with the letters provided in each box. Each
box is worth 2 points except box K which is worth 4 points.

Investing:
Net sales (purchases) of PPE (420.00) J
Net sales (purchases) of marketable securities (123.40) (39.10)
Cash from (used for) investing (543.40) (783.86)

Below appear selected historical information and assumptions for VialCom, Inc., a company that makes
vials for vaccines. Based on the information provided, estimate the market-to-book value of common
stockholders’ equity of VialCom as of 12/31/2020, where the “market” value is the intrinsic estimated
equity value. Show your work and answers on page 2 of your submission.
Various assumptions:
1. Current assets include excess marketable securities (i.e., financial assets) with a book value and fair
value of $6 million as of 12/31/2020.
2. VialCom, Inc.’s WACC is 11%, and its cost of equity (i.e., Re) is 14%.
3. VialCom, Inc.’s capital structure is expected to remain stable.
4. VialCom, Inc. will begin a steady state immediately in 2021 (i.e., year T+1) with constant annual
growth in net income available to common stock and stockholders’ equity of 3%.

QUESTION 3. RESIDUAL INCOME (i.e., ABNORMAL EARNINGS) VALUATION. (11 points; expected
time is 20 minutes)
The managing director for your new job just came to your desk and asked you to derive a valuation for FaceZoom,
Inc., a company that connects people on the internet. FaceZoom has the following two year projected financial
data:
Year
1 2
NIC $ 55.00 $ 70.00
Beg
BV of Equity $ 100.00 $ 110.00
BV of EquityEnd $ 110.00 $ 135.00
Other assumptions:
Beta 1.60
Rf 2.0%
Rm 8.0%
Assumed tax rate 21.0%
Assumed terminal g 3.0%
Where:
Further assume that at the time of your valuation (i.e., year 0) the company has neither financial obligations (i.e.,
100% equity financed) nor financial assets.
Unfortunately, your managing director needs this valuation done quickly which is why she came to you.
Fortunately, you recall from your FSA class at Booth that the Residual Income (i.e., Abnormal Earnings) approach
was a relatively quick approach to valuation. Calculate the value of FaceZoom, Inc. equity using the Residual
Income method. Keep at least 2 decimal points for all intermediate calculations and then round your final value
to the nearest decimal point. Show your work and answers on page 3 of your submission.

(Where the 6 points should be allocated for deriving each of the three terms of the value of equity
in the equation—i.e., give partial credit for attempting each of the three parts).
