Enterprise Value (EV)= FCF1/r-g
Where FCF1= Free Cash flow for year 1, r= cost of capital and g= growth rate of cash flow
Given, FCF last year (FCF0) was $7 Million.
Therefore, EV= FCF0*(1+10%)/(12%-10%) = 7,7/0.02= $385 Million.
Given, Debt and Preferred Stock= $107.03 Million and number of shares= 1.56 Million
Equity= EV-Debt= $385 Million- $107.03 Million= $277.97 Million
Therefore, price per share= Equity Value/ Number of shares= $277.97 Million/1.56 Million = $178.19
