Year                                Free Cash Flow

1                                             -$22.00

2                                              $42.00

3                                              $45.00

Please show work step by step.

Explanation / Answer

Growth rate from year 2 to 3 = 45/42-1= 7.1429%

Year 0 value = -22/(1.14)^1+42/(1.14)^2+45/(1.14)^3+ (45*(1.071429)/(0.14-0.071429))/(1.14)^3

= $517.98 millions
