You must estimate the intrinsic value of Lowell Technologies’ stock. The end-of-year free cash flow (FCF1) is expected to be $30
Hunter-Best [27]

Answer:

Firm's estimated intrinsic value per share of common stock = $40.00

Explanation:

Intrinsic value:

Intrinsic value is a way of describing the perceived or true value of an asset.

Formula:

Intrinsic value = free cash flow / required rate - growth rate

As the end-of-year free cash flow (FCF1) = $30  and it is expected to grow at a constant rate of 5.0% a year thereafter.

so FCF2 = 30 (1 + 5%)

FCF2 = 31.5

Value at year 1 = FCF2 / required rate - growth rate

Therefore by putting the values in the above formula, we get

Value at year 1 = 31.5 / 0.08 - 0.05

Value at year 1 = 31.5 / 0.03

Value at year 1 = 1,050

As the company’s WACC is 8.0%, so

Value today = 30 / (1 + 0.08)1 + 1,050 / (1 + 0.08)1

Value today = $1,000 million

As stated in the question it has $200 million of long-term debt, and there are 20.0 million shares of common stock outstanding.

Intrinsic value = (1,000 - 200) / 20

Intrinsic value = $40.00

ozzi

An unilateral contract is a contract that can only be enforced when the performing party performs the action that he agreed upon. It is only when this actions is completed, that the offering party is obliged to make a payment.

In this case, your boss has offered $75 if you clean the pool. This is an unilateral contract because your boss is only obliged to pay that money once you finished cleaning the pool. If you never clean the pool, you simply will not receive the $75.
