Help with DCF model

Hi guys, I'm a second year student and I have a problem with my DCF model which was prepared for my paper work at university.

The problem is the following: % of Implied EV from TV is 87%. As far as I know, this is an extremely high percentage.

That is why, I would like to ask you for your help. I think, I did some dramatic mistakes which impact on the final result ( I got a very low cost of debt and equity). 

Please, make a review and comments with your suggestions.

Impossible for me to check your work but here’s a few things: 1) it’s OK to have high TV as a % of your DCF if it’s a lower profibility company that is super high growth. That doesn’t seem to be the case with EA though. 2) your WACC is way way too low. Your cost of equity looks way way too low (cost of debt looks fine). Some of the least risky companies in the world don’t have WACCs that low. Should be closer to 8-10% MINIMUM. Smaller / riskier companies should be higher than that too

 

Unfortunately not spending my 1 day off auditing your excel. Your betas look wrong they should be closer to 1. Maybe the market volatility messed them up. Find numbers for forward looking beta estimates, that may fix it. Like zynga with a beta of 0.08 is super useless / wrong. Just get the WACC to be higher. Honestly people are just looking right mechanics in school projects
