Common stock value. All growth models. You are evaluating the potential purchase of a small business currently generating $43,500 of aftertax cash flow . On the basis of a review of similar risk investment opportunities, you must earn a rate of return of 18% on the proposed purchase. Because you are relatively

uncertain about future cash flows, you decide to estimate the firm's value using two possible assumptions about the growth rate of cash flows.

a. What is the firm's value if cash flows are expected to grow at an annual rate of 0% from now to infinity?

b. what is the firm's value if cash flows are expected to grow at a constant rate of 9 % from now to infinity?

c. What is the firm's value if cash flows are expected to grow at an annual rate of 14 % for the first 2 years, followed by a constant annual rate of

9 % from year 3 to infinity?

d. Show step by step computations for a, b, c.
