Required rate 9.40%
Year Previous year dividend FCF growth rate FCF current year Horizon value Total Value Discount factor Discounted value
1 0 0% 43 43 1.094 39.3053
2 43 0% 57 606.383 663.383 1.197 554.20468
Long term growth rate = 0% Value of Firm = Sum of discounted value = 593.51
Where
Current dividend = Previous year dividend*(1+growth rate)^corresponding year
Unless dividend for the year provided
Total value = FCF + horizon value (only for last year)
Horizon value = current FCF year 2 *(1+long term growth rate)/( required rate-long term growth rate)
Discount factor= (1+ required rate)^corresponding period
Discounted value= total value/discount factor

enterprise value = 593.51million

equity value = enterprise value-Debt+cash = 593.51-34+101=660.51 million

share value = equity/share number = 660.51/50=13.21
