Explanation:
Let's first determine the free cash flow of the firm
Particulars Years
1 2 3
EBIT 540 680 750
<u>Tax at 36% (0.36*540) (0.36*680) (0.36*750) </u>
Less: 345.6 435.2 480
Net Capital -
Spending 150 170 190
<u>Change in NWC 70 75 80 </u>
Less: 125.6 190.2 210
The terminal value at the end of T =(3 years) is:
= 2011.26
Finally, the value of the firm can be computed as follows:
Years Free Cash Flow PVIF PV
1 125.6 0.6589 107.88
2 190.2 0.7377 140.31
3 210 0.6336 133.06
<u>Terminal Value 2011.26 0.6336 1294.33 </u>
<u>Value of the firm ⇒ $1655.58</u>
The stock is now trading at $52.16 per share.
The current value of an annuity of n regular payments of P at r% with yearly payments is provided by:
PV = P × (1 -(÷r))
Estes Park Corp. distributes a fixed rate of a dividend of P = $7.80 per share on its shares. The corporation will retain this dividend for the following n = 13 years before ceasing dividend payments permanently. If the necessary returns on this stock are not metis r = 11.2% = 0.112.
The actual share price is calculated as follows:
Current share price = $7.80 × (1 -(÷0.112))
$7.80 × ((1 - 0.251) ÷ 0.112)
$52.16
Therefore, the current share price is $52.16

Answer:
<em>1. In this labor market, a minimum wage of $9.00 is binding : </em><em>FALSE</em>
<em>2. In the absence of price controls, a shortage puts upward pressure on wages until they rise to the equilibrium : </em><em>TRUE</em>
<em>3. If the minimum wage is set at $12.50, the market will not reach equilibrium : </em><em>TRUE</em>
<em>4. Binding minimum wages cause frictional unemployment : </em><em>FALSE</em>
Explanation:
<em><u>Question has been attached here</u></em>
Unemployment is the term used to define those who are willing and are actively seeking work but cannot find any. A minimum wage is a price control, in the form of a price floor imposed by government legislation in order to protect laborers from low wages. Paying anything below the minimum wage is against the law.
<em>1. In this labor market, a minimum wage of $9.00 is binding : </em><em>FALSE</em>
A minimum wage is binding only if it is set above the equilibrium price. In this scenario, the equilibrium price is at $12. Hence, $9 is not binding since a shortage of labor would gradually raise the price to the equilibrium.
<em>2. In the absence of price controls, a shortage puts upward pressure on wages until they rise to the equilibrium : </em><em>TRUE</em>
When there is a shortage in the market, it means that the quantity supplied is higher than the quantity demanded. With any particular commodity such as bread or rice, a shortage creates a rise in price. Just as that, a shortage of workers creates an upward pressure on the price (wage). Since there are no price ceilings, market will reach equilibrium.
<em>3. If the minimum wage is set at $12.50, the market will not reach equilibrium : </em><em>TRUE</em>
As shown in the diagram, the market equilibrium is $12. If the minimum wage was $12.50, there would be a surplus of labor (quantity supplied is higher than quantity demanded). Naturally, this may cause a downward pressure on wages until it reaches $12. However, when a minimum wage is imposed at $12.50, it cannot fall below that level. Thus, the market will not reach the equilibrium.
<em>4. Binding minimum wages cause frictional unemployment : </em><em>FALSE</em>
Frictional unemployment is a type of unemployment that occurs when workers are temporarily unemployed while switching between jobs. It is normal and occurs even in the healthiest of economies. A binding minimum wage is more likely to cause structural unemployment. This occurs when there is a mismatch between the skills of the labor force and the skills expected to be possessed by employers to do a particular job. Hence, even if jobs are available, the laborers are not suited to do them and thus are unemployed.
