A company earns NOPAT1=N on existing capital in perpetuity. In each year t=1,…,T it invests It=(g/R)NOPATt, and each such investment earns R in perpetuity from year t+1. After year T, new investments earn exactly W.
(a) Prove that
V0=WN+RWNg(R−W)⋅W−g1−(1+W1+g)T.
(b) Show that as T→∞ (with g<W) this tends to the value-driver formula (6.13).
(c) Evaluate for N = ₹500 cr, g = 8%, R = 30%, W = 12% and T = 5, 10, 20. What fraction of the infinite-horizon value of growth does a 10-year advantage capture?
