A group of investors is intent on purchasing a publicly traded company and wants to estimate the highest price they can reasonably justify paying. The target company$$s equity beta is $1\mathrm{.}20$ and its debt$-$to$-$firm value ratio, measured using market values, is $60$ percent. The investors plan to improve the target$$s cash flows and sell it for $12$ times free cash flow in year five. Projected free cash flows and selling price are as follows.

Year $($$ millions$)12345$

Free cash flows $ $30$ $ $45$ $ $50$ $ $55$ $ $55$

Selling price $ $660$

Total free cash flows $ $30$ $ $45$ $ $50$ $ $55$ $ $715$

To finance the purchase, the investors have negotiated a $$450$ million, five$-$year loan at $8$ percent interest to be repaid in five equal payments at the end of each year, plus interest on the declining balance. This will be the only interest$-$bearing debt outstanding after the acquisition.
