c. If new technology is introduced now, Gossamer is expecting free cash flows to increase by 5% per year beginning this year. The new technology would add $10 million to the firm's debt stated above. Calculate the intrinsic value of the company and the per share value of the stock. (Hint: Constant Growth free cash flows.)

Free Cash Flows this year $12,247,000 WACC Debt Value Short-term Investments Value $1,000,000 Preferred Stock Value 10.25% $25,000,000 $6,000,000 2,800,000 Number of Shares

Explanation / Answer

Value of company =FCF0(1+g)/(WACC-G)

                = 12,247,000(1+.05)/(.1025-.05)

                = 12,247,000*1.05 /.0525)

                = $ 244,940,000

Total Debt 25,000,000+10,000,000 = $ 35,000,000

Value of equity = Total firm value -value of debt -value of preferred stock

       = 244,940,000-35,000,000-6,000,000

       = 203,940,000

Intrinsic value per share = Value of equity /shares outstanding

          = 203,940,000/2,800,000

         = $ 72.84 per share
