Case 1

Wonderplayer develops video game products for consumers. In June 2012, a team of analysts issued a research report that valued Wonderplayers stock at $11.6 per share, compared to the then-current market price of $13. The research reports discounted cash flow valuation table is reproduced below. The 2012 figures are as reported by Wonderplayer, but the 2013 through 2020 figures are analysts forecasts. Key assumptions include a weighted average cost of capital of 10% and a perpetual growth rate of 2%. All dollar amounts are in millions except share value.

What role does the 10% WACC play in the discounted cash flow valuation analysis? How about the role of WACC in the abnormal earnings valuation analysis?
