Answer 1

(a)-Dantler’s Horizon or Continuing Value

Free cash flow in year 3 (FCF3) = $57 Million

Growth Rate (g) = 8% per year

Weighted Average Cost of capital (WACC) = 16%

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

= $53(1 + 0.08) / (0.16 – 0.08)

= $61.56 / 0.08

= $769.50 Million

“Dantler’s Horizon or Continuing Value = $769.50 Million”

(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

= [-$23 / (1 + 0.16)¹] + [$24 / (1 + 0.16)²] + [$57 / (1 + 0.16)³] + [$769.50 / (1 + 0.16)³]

= [-$23 / 1.16] + [$24 / 1.34560] + [$57 / 1.56090] + [$769.50 / 1.56090]

= -$19.83 + $17.84 + $36.52 + $492.99

= $527.51 Million

“Firm’s Value Today = $527.51 Million”

(c)-Current Price per share

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

= [$527.51 Million - $133 Million] / 18 Million shares

= $394.51 / 18 Million shares

= $21.92 per share

“Current Price per share = $21.92 per share”
