A firm expects to have free cash flows $($FCF$)$ of $$1\mathrm{.}7$ billion next year. The FCFs will grow at a constant rate of $2\mathrm{.}6\%/$year$.$ If the weighted$-$average cost of capital $($WACC or rWACC$)$ is $15\mathrm{.}2\%$ per year, what is the value of operations, Vop?

Express your answer in BILLIONS of dollars to two decimal places; $$12,344,444,444$ would be $12\mathrm{.}34,$ for example.

$($Vop is expected to be equal to the enterprise value $($EV$),$ in equilibrium$)$
