Year 2013 2014 2015

Please provide calculations

Explanation / Answer

Free Cash Flow for year 2016= CF for2015*(1+Growth rate)

= $54 *(1.125)= 60.75 million

Discounted Future cash flow at begning of year 2016 = FCFat end of 2016/ (WACC-Growth rate)

= 60.75 / (.14-.125) = $4050 million

Fair market value of Walleye Feeders at the end of 2012= PV of Future Cash Flow

= (-20*.877) +(48*.769)+ (54*.675)+ (4050*.675)

= $2789.57 Million

2- Market Value of Equity= Total Value - Debt Value

= $2789.57-$55 = $2734.57 million

Fair market Value per share= Market value of Equity/No. of Share

= $2734.57/ 50= $54.69 per share
