(a)-Dantzler's horizon, or continuing, value
Free cash flow in year 3 (FCF3) = $43 Million
Growth Rate (g) = 5.00% per year
Weighted Average Cost of capital (WACC) = 15.00%
Therefore, the Horizon Value = FCF3(1 + g) / (WACC – g)
= $43 Million(1 + 0.05) / (0.10 – 0.05)
= $45.15 Million / 0.10
= $451.50 Million
(b)-Firm’s Value Today
Firms Value Today is the Present Value of the Free Cash flows and the Terminal Value

“Hence, the firm's value today will be $330.93 Million”
NOTE
The Formula for calculating the Present Value Factor is [1/(1 + r)n], Where “r” is the Discount/Interest Rate and “n” is the number of years.
(c)-Current Price per share
Current Price per share = [Firms Value – Debt Outstanding] / Number of stocks outstanding
= [$330.93 Million - $180 Million] / 12 Million Shares outstanding
= $150.93 Million / 12 Million Shares outstanding
= $12.58 per share
