Year 0 2 3 $7 $13 $50 FCF (S millions) a. What is Dantzler's horizon, or continuing, value? (Hint: Find the value of all free cash flows beyond Year 3 discounted back to Year 3.) Round your answer to two decimal places. Enter your answer in millions. For example, an answer of $13,550,000 should be entered as 13.55. million b. What is the firm's value today? Round your answer to two decimal places. Enter your answer in millions. For example, an answer of $13,550,000 should be entered as 13.55. Do not round your intermediate calculations. million c.

Write out your answer completely. For example, 0.00025 million should be entered as 250.

Explanation / Answer

According to dividend-discount model,

P0 = D1/(R-G)

P0 = Current stock price

D1 - Dividend at t =1

R - Required rate

G - Growth rate

A.

P3 = 50*(1+0.07)/(0.16-0.07) = 594.44 million

Horizon value = $594.44 million

B.

To find the firms value today, discount the future cashflows and P3

P0 = -7/(1+0.16)^1 + 13/(1+0.16)^2 + 50/(1+0.16)^3 + 594.44/(1+0.16)^3 = 416.49 million

Today's value = $416.49 million

C.

Value of equity = Total value - debt = 416.49 - 123 = 293.49 million

Price per share = value of equity/no. of shares outstanding = 293.49/8 = 36.69

Value of each share = $36.69
