How does this work?

HPQ grew revenues from US$79.9 billion in 2004 to US$104.3 billion in 2007 – a 9.0% compound annual growth rate. Our assumptions of revenues for the next three years are US$115.0 billion in 2008 growing to US$135.0 billion in 2010 – a 9.3% compound annual growth rate. We have projected EBITDA margins to grow from 12.5% in 2008 to 13.0% in 2010. We have used a terminal growth rate of 3.5%. We used a terminal capital expenditure number of US$4.0 billion. We have used a WACC (discount rate) of 10%.
Key assumptions as we see them are:
HPQ terminal growth rate of 3.5%. We believe this long-term growth rate could be anywhere between 3% and 4-4.5%. We have taken 3.5% as a mid-point terminal growth rate.
HPQ WACC of 10%. We believe that HPQ’s WACC (discount rate) is in the 9-11% range. Again we have taken a mid-point.
