Explanation / Answer

Answer a.

FCF1 = $3,000,000
FCF2 = $5,000,000
FCF3 = $8,000,000
FCF4 = $15,000,000

WACC = 16%

Present Value of FCF of next 4 years = $3,000,000/1.16 + $5,000,000/1.16^2 + $8,000,000/1.16^3 + $15,000,000/1.16^4
Present Value of FCF of next 4 years = $19,711,649.26

Answer b.

Constant growth rate, g = 6%

FCF5 = FCF4 * (1 + g)
FCF5 = $15,000,000 * 1.06
FCF5 = $15,900,000

Horizon Value = FCF5 / (WACC - g)
Horizon Value = $15,900,000 / (0.16 - 0.06)
Horizon Value = $159,000,000

Answer c.

Present Value of Horizon Value = $159,000,000 / 1.16^4
Present Value of Horizon Value = $87,814,284.56

Firm’s Total Value = Present Value of FCF of next 4 years + Present Value of Horizon Value +
Firm’s Total Value = $19,711,649.26 + $87,814,284.56
Firm’s Total Value = $107,525,933.82

Answer d.

Value of Common Stock = Firm’s Total Value - Value of Debt + Value of Preferred Stock
Value of Common Stock = $107,525,933.82 - $64,000,000
Value of Common Stock = $43,525,933.82

Price per share = Value of Common Stock / Number of shares outstanding
Price per share = $43,525,933.82 / 17,000,000
Price per share = $2.56
