Inherent Value
If: EY = IY
Then: 100 x (E/P) = IY
Or: 100 x (E/V) = IY
And: V = 100 x (E/IY)
Value of MCD
V = 100 x (E /IY)V = 100 x (E /IY)
V = 100 x (3.00/5.80)V = 100 x (3.00/5.80)
V = $51.72 / ShareV = $51.72 / Share

x Sqr [(R + G) / (IY + F)]
where
E = Earnings in $ / share
IY = Interest Rate in %
R = % Return on Total Capital
G = Earnings Growth in % / yr.
F = Inflation Rate in % / yr.
VV - MCD
V = 100 x (E /IY) x Sqr[(R + G) / (IY + F)]V = 100 x (E /IY) x Sqr[(R + G) / (IY + F)]
