Explanation / Answer

Part A)

The enterprise value today is the sum of present value of all the free cash flows in the coming year and value at the end of Year 4. The enterprise value today can be determined with the use of following formula:

Enterprise Value = FCF Year 1/(1+WACC)^1 + FCF Year 2/(1+WACC)^2 + FCF Year 3/(1+WACC)^3 + FCF Year 4/(1+WACC)^4 + FCF Year 5/(1+WACC)^4*(WACC - Growth Rate)

____________

Using the information provided in the question, we get,

Enterprise Value = 53/(1+14%)^1 + 68/(1+14%)^2 + 78/(1+14%)^3 + 75/(1+14%)^4 + 82/(1+14%)^4*(14% - 4%) = $681.37 or $681 (answer)

___________________

Part B)

The share price can be calculated with the use of following formula:

Share Price = (Enterprise Value + Excess Cash - Debt)/Number of Outstanding Shares

____________

Using the enterprise value calculated above and other information provided in the question, we get,

Share Price = (681 + 0 - 300)/40 = $9.525 or $9.53 (answer)
