Explanation / Answer

A is incorrect.

FCF5 = 45 million

G= 6.5%

Ko= 12%

Horizon value = FCF5 x(1+g)/ (Ko-g)

                                = 45 million x(1+0.065)/(0.12-0.065)

                                = 47.925/0.055

                                = 871 million

Therefore, option d is correct.
