(a)-Dantzler's horizon, or continuing, value
Free cash flow in year 3 (FCF3) = $37 Million
Growth Rate (g) = 8% per year
Weighted Average Cost of capital (WACC) = 13%
Therefore, the Horizon Value = FCF3(1 + g) / (WACC – g)
= $37 Million(1 + 0.08) / (0.13 – 0.08)
= $39.96 Million / 0.05
= $799.20 Million
(b)-Firm’s Value Today
Firm’s Value Today = CF1/(1+r)1 + CF2/(1+r)2 + CF3/(1+r)3 + HV/(1+r)3
= [-$19 Million / (1 + 0.13)1] + [$35 Million / (1 + 0.13)2] + [$37 Million / (1 + 0.13)3] + [$799.20 Million / (1 + 0.13)3]
= [-$19 Million / 1.13] + [$35 Million / 1.27690] + [$37 Million / 1.44290] + [$799.20 Million / 1.44290]
= -$16.81 Million + $27.41 Million + $25.64 Million + $553.89 Million
= $590.12 Million
(c)-Current Price per share
Current Price per share = [Firms Value – Debt Outstanding] / Number of stocks outstanding
= [$590.12 Million - $30 Million] / 20 Million shares
= $560.12 Million / 20 Million shares
= $28.01 per share
