Explanation / Answer

a]   

$ in millions


b) Terminal value:

Terminal value at the end of third year = FCF4 / (r-g)

FCF4 = Free cash flow at theend of year 4 = $159.7m

r = cost of capital = 10%

g = growth rate = 5%

terminal value= 159.7 / (10%-5%) = $ 3,194 m

c)Value per share

Value of firm= FCF from year 1 to 3 + terminal value

= 115.01+ 132.26+ 152.10+ 3194

= $ 3593.36

Value of equity = value of firm - value of debt

= 3593.36 - 800

=$ 2793.36 m

Number of shares = 100million

Value per share = value of equity / no of shares

= 2793.36/ 100

= $27.93
