At the beginning of its fiscal year 2019, an analyst made the following forecast for GM, Inc. (in millions of dollars):

GM did not have any short-term and long-term debt at the beginning of 2019. Assume that free cash flow will grow at 5 percent per year in 2023 and 2024, after that this will grow at 4 percent per year. GM had 305 million shares outstanding at the beginning of 2019, trading at $73.25 per share. Using a required return of 10 percent, calculate the following for GM at the beginning of 2019:

1. The enterprise value.                                                                                   [6 marks]
2. Equity value.                                                                                               [1 marks]
3. Equity value per share.                                                                                [2 marks]
4. Based on your estimate, should investors buy the share of this company?      [1 marks]
