Answer 1

(a)-Dantler’s Horizon or Continuing Value

Free cash flow in year 3 (FCF3) = $39 Million

Growth Rate (g) = 7% per year

Weighted Average Cost of capital (WACC) = 12%

Therefore, the Horizon Value = FCF3(1 + g) / (WACC – g)

= $39 (1 + 0.07) / (0.12 – 0.07)

= $41.73 / 0.05

= $834.60

“Dantler’s Horizon or Continuing Value = $834.60”

(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

= [-$13 / (1 + 0.12)¹] + [$31 / (1 + 0.12)²] + [$39 / (1 + 0.12)³] + [$834.60 / (1 + 0.12)³]

= [-$13 / 1.12] + [$31 / 1.25440] + [$39 / 1.40493] + [$834.60 / 1.40493]

= -$11.61 + $24.71 + $27.76 + $594.05

= $634.94 Million

“Firm’s Value Today = $634.94 Million”

(c)-Current Price per share

Current Price per share = [Firms Value – Debt Outstanding] / Number of stocks outstanding

= [$634.94 Million - $172 Million] / 17 Million shares

= $462.92 Million / 17 Million shares

= $27.23 per share

“Current Price per share = $27.23 per share”
