Sensitivity Analysis The inherent unpredictability of the future makes all forecasts subject to error. To deal with this unpredictability, a sensitivity analysis is used to illustrate the variance of price estimates with respect to different forecasting assumptions. The assumptions that you will want to use should be with respect to variables that are likely to have (1) high variance, and (2) significant price impact. Examples: Forecasting Assumption Sales Growth (single year) Sales Growth (first year of trend*) COGS, SG&A exp

Sensitivity Analysis: Example: CBRL terminal growth rate and cost of equity capital:
Current Price = $17.68 (as of 2/20/09)
Terminal Growth Rate
$20.44 1.10% 2.60% 4.10% 5.60% 7.10%
9.55% 26.13 28.60 32.42 39.15 54.14
Cost of Equity Capital 10.55% 11.55% 12.55% 21.64 18.13 15.35 23.18 19.10 15.94 25.43 20.44 16.75 29.04 22.47 17.91 35.81 25.87 19.70
13.55% 13.10 13.45 13.93 14.58 15.53
Look for the proportion of your table that is lower or higher than the current market price.

Doing sensitivity analysis using Excel’s ‘Table’ function. 1. Copy in your implied price formula into any cell. You can use a white font to ‘hide’ the price.

13.55% 13.10 13.45 13.93 14.58 15.53
2. Set up the rows and columns with the dimensions you want and the appropriate values.
3. Select the entire area of your intended table, and then go to Data > What-If Analysis > Data Table… Excel will ask you to input a row and a column. The row is the cell on your spreadsheet that contains the parameter listed horizontally. The column is the cell on the spreadsheet that contains the parameter listed vertically. It should then auto-compute the sensitivity analysis table.
Note, for this to work, both dimensions must have the input cell be (1) a single cell only, (2) be on the same page as the output Table.

Explaining P/B and P/E ratios using residual income valuation (1) P/B Ratio (= Market value of equity / book value of equity):
Equity Value = BVE0 +
ROE1 - re ROE2 - re BVE0 + BVE1 + ... (1 + re ) (1 + re ) 2
Divide both sides by BVE0 -- this gives a P/B ratio.
( ROE1 − re ) ( ROE 2 − re ) BVE1 ( ROE 3 − re ) BVE 2 Pr ice = 1+ + * + * + ... Book ( 1 + re ) ( 1 + re ) BVE 0 ( 1 + re ) BVE0
Thus, P/B should be a function of future level of abnormal earnings and expected growth in book value.

(2) P/E Ratio (Market Value of Equity / Net Income):
Equity Value = BVE0 +
NI 1 - re BVE0 NI 2 - re BVE1 + + ... (1 + re ) (1 + re ) 2
Define residual income RIt = NIt - reBVEt-1 Then, a lot of algebra and substitution will get you to the following relation:
Pt + Dt RI t 1 1 ∞ RI t + j = 1 + + − * j NI t r r ( 1 + r ) e e j =1 e NI t
∑
Notice, if future residual income is equal to current residual income, then the P/E ratio is normal.

Summary: Differences between Residual Income and DCF (i) Intrinsic value estimates:
(ii) Terminal Value Estimates: Often the argument is made that residual Incomeputs less weight on the terminal value, which is more uncertain than the finite period estimates. Is this argument valid?
(iii) Focus on different issues:
(Iv) The impact of accounting (residual Income uses net income which we know can be skewed my accounting method choice):
