Problem $8-10$

You are building a free cash flow to the firm model. You expect sales to grow from $$1\mathrm{.}4$ billion for the year that just ended to $$1\mathrm{.}75$ billion five years from now. Assume that the company

will not become any more or less efficient in the future. Assume that the company will grow at a constant rate for $5$ years, and then at a constant rate of $4\mathrm{.}063955\%$ for year $6$ and

onward after that. Use the following information to calculate the value of the equity on a per$-$share basis.

a$.$ Assume that the company currently has $$462$ million of net PP&E$.$

b$.$ The company currently has $$154$ million of net working capital.

c$.$ The company has operating margins of $10$ percent and has an effective tax rate of $28$ percent.

d$.$ The company has a weighted average cost of capital of $9$ percent. This is based on a capital structure of two$-$thirds equity and one$-$third debt.

e$.$ The firm has $2$ million shares outstanding.

Do not round intermediate calculations. Round your answer to the nearest cent.
