Question

5. Worrall and Company, is considering going public but is unsure of a fair offering price for the company. Before hiring an investment banker to assist in making the public offering, managers at Englander have decided to make their own estimate of the firm’s common stock value. The firm’s CFO has gathered data for performing the valuating using the free cash flow valuation model.

      The firm’s weighted average cost of capital is 12%, and it has $2,750,000 of debt at         market value and $850,000 of preferred stock at its assumed market value. The          estimated free cash flows over the next 5 year, 2014 through 2018, are given below.        Beyond 2018 to infinity, the firm expects its free cash flow to grow by 4% annually.

2014	$245,000
2015	295,000
2016	425,000
2017	477,000
2018	515,000
