Answer 1

1)

FCF4 = 40 (1 + 6%) = 42.4

Horizon value = FCF4 / required rate - growth rate

Horizon value = 42.4 / 0.11 - 0.06

Horizon value = 42.4 / 0.05

Horizon value = 848.00 million

2)

Firm value today = -20 / (1 + 0.11)¹ + 28 / (1 + 0.11)² + 40 / (1 + 0.11)³ + 848 / (1 + 0.11)³

Firm value today = $654.01 million

3)

Price per share = (654.01 - 111) / 31

Price per share = $17.52
