Now that the estimation procedures for the calculation of components of intrinsic value, cash flow from operations, cost of capital, terminal value, non-operating assets, and liabilities are explained, let us look at an illustration that incorporates all of the components. Consider a business 'Snap Value' with the following five-year forecast:

Thus, based on the above computation, the cost of capital or WACC during Terminal Period comes to 7.57%.
Terminal Growth
The Terminal Growth for Snap value is assumed at 4% (Inflationary Growth at 2% and Real Growth at 2%).

Computation of Terminal Value
The formulae for computing Terminal value is,
Free Cash flow in Target Year * (1 + Terminal Growth) / (WACC - Terminal Growth)
8.70 * ( 1 + 4%) / (7.57% - 4%) = 253
Present Value of Terminal Value is Terminal Value * Discount Factor in the last year of forecast Period
253 * 0.663 = 167.89
