a. What is the firms weighted average cost of capital, WACC?

b. What is the intrinsic value per share using the corporate valuation method if the firm earned $16 million in free cash flow last year and expects this to grow at a constant annual rate of 3% going forward? Hint: use the market values of debt and preferred shares computed in part (a) to find the implied value of equity and use the given number of shares outstanding to find the implied share price.
