2018 Calculations

1 Retention rate = (Net earnings related to parent – Cash dividends declared) ÷ Net earnings related to parent
= (10,460 – 4,101) ÷ 10,460 = 0.61

2 Profit margin = 100 × Net earnings related to parent ÷ Revenues
= 100 × 10,460 ÷ 101,127 = 10.34%

3 Asset turnover = Revenues ÷ Total assets
= 101,127 ÷ 117,359 = 0.86

4 Financial leverage = Total assets ÷ Shareholders’ equity
= 117,359 ÷ 339 = 346.19

5 g = Retention rate × Profit margin × Asset turnover × Financial leverage
= 0.54 × 7.14% × 0.97 × 148.56 = 551.58%

FCFE growth rate (g) implied by single-stage model

g = 100 × (Equity market value0 × r – FCFE0) ÷ (Equity market value0 + FCFE0)
= 100 × (191,603 × 13.66% – 15,016) ÷ (191,603 + 15,016) = 5.40%

where:
Equity market value0 = current market value of Boeing Co.’s common stock (US$ in millions)
FCFE0 = the last year Boeing Co.’s free cash flow to equity (US$ in millions)
r = required rate of return on Boeing Co.’s common stock

2 g2 415.04%
3 g3 278.49%

5 and thereafter g5 5.40%

where:
g1 is implied by PRAT model
g5 is implied by single-stage model
g2, g3 and g4 are calculated using linear interpoltion between g1 and g5

Calculations

g2 = g1 + (g5 – g1) × (2 – 1) ÷ (5 – 1)
= 551.58% + (5.40% – 551.58%) × (2 – 1) ÷ (5 – 1) = 415.04%

g3 = g1 + (g5 – g1) × (3 – 1) ÷ (5 – 1)
= 551.58% + (5.40% – 551.58%) × (3 – 1) ÷ (5 – 1) = 278.49%

g4 = g1 + (g5 – g1) × (4 – 1) ÷ (5 – 1)
= 551.58% + (5.40% – 551.58%) × (4 – 1) ÷ (5 – 1) = 141.94%
