Expert Solution

First we calculate free cash flow to firm (FCFF) for 2023 and beyond.

FCFF = earnings before interest and tax or EBIT*(1-tax rate) + Depreciation - change in working capital - capital expenditure

Depreciation and capital expenditure are same. so it's value will be zero because same amount will be added and subtracted. also working will not change. hence change in working capital will also be zero.

FCFF = 200*(1-0.30) + 0 - 0 - 0 = 200*0.70 = 140

next we calculate terminal value of free cash flows of 2023 and beyond. EBIT will remain constant. so growth rate in EBIT will be zero.

terminal value = FCFF/(weighted avg. cost of capital(WACC) - growth rate) = 140/(0.11 - 0 ) = 140/0.11 = $1,272.73

fair market value of ABC limited at the end of 2018 = FCFF 2019/(1+WACC)¹ + FCFF 2020/(1+WACC)² + FCFF 2021/(1+WACC)³ + FCFF 2022/(1+WACC)⁴ + terminal value/(1+WACC)⁴

fair market value = 30/1.11¹ + 76/1.11² + 92/1.11³ + 112/1.11⁴ + 1,272.73/1.11⁴

fair market value = 30/1.11 + 76/1.2321 + 92/1.3676 + 112/1.5181 + 1,272.73/1.5181

fair market value = 27.03 + 61.68 + 67.27 + 73.78 + 838.37 = $1,068.13 million

Fair market value per share of the company's equity = (Fair market value of company - market value of debt)/no. of shares outstanding

Fair market value per share of the company's equity = ($1,068.13 - $300)/40 = $768.13/40 = $19.20
