Problem Walk-Through

Problem 9-20 Corporate value model

Assume that today is December 31, 2014, and that the following information applies to Vermeil Airlines:

After-tax operating income [EBIT(1 - T)] for 2015 is expected to be $550 million. The depreciation expense for 2015 is expected to be $50 million. The capital expenditures for 2014 are expected to be $325 million. No change is expected in net operating working capital. The free cash flow is expected to grow at a constant rate of 6% per year. The required return on equity is 14%. The WACC is 9%. The market value of the company's debt is $6 billion. 140 million shares of stock are outstanding.

Using the corporate valuation model approach, what should be the company's stock price today? Round your answer to the nearest cent. Write out your answer completely. For example, 0.00013 million should be entered as 130.
