Answer 1

What is the present value of the free cash flows projected during the next 4 years? = $23057775  

What is the firm's horizon, or continuing, value? = $208000000

What is the market value of the company's operations? $155245536

What is the firm's total market value today?

Market value today = Value of operations + non operating assets = $155245536 + 12000000

Market value today = $167245536

What is an estimate of Brandtly's price per share? Do not round intermediate calculations. Round your answer to the nearest cent.

Price per share = (market value today - Debt - preferred stock) / shares O/s

Price per share = (167245536 - 78000000) / 12000000

Price per share = $7.44 per share
