(2) Using the 2022 forecast financial statements, forecast 2022 free cash flows.

(3) Irrespective of your answer to requirement 2 above, determine the present value of the following free cash flows from 2022 through 2024.

Free Cash Flow	Time Value Factor 8% WACC	Present Value at 12/31/21
FCF2022: $28,000	.92593 (n= 1)
FCF2023: 35,000	.85734 (n= 2)
FCF2024: 45,000	.79383 (n= 3)
Total

(4) You forecast Whitelands free cash flow to increase at 2% annual after the forecast horizon ends in 2024. Forecast free cash flows in 2025.

(5) Compute the terminal value of free cash flows. Recall that the weighted average cost of capital is 8% and the assumed growth rate is 2%.

(6) Irrespective of your answer in number 5 above, assume the terminal value is calculated at $765,000 Determine the firm value of Whitelands at December 31, 2021 by completing the following table.

Free Cash Flow	Time Value Factor 8% WACC	Present Value at 12/31/21
FCF2022: $28,000	.92593 (n= 1)
FCF2023: 35,000	.85734 (n= 2)
FCF2024: 45,000	.79383 (n= 3)
FCFTV: 765,000	.79383 (n= 4)
Firm Value

(7) Compute the intrinsic common equity on December 31, 2021.

(8) Assume that Whitelands has 20,000 shares of common stock outstanding on December 31, 2021. Determine the intrinsic share price at that date.

(9) Assume that Whitelands was a publicly traded company whose share price was $26.00. Based on your valuation of Whitelands, would you buy stock in the company?

(10) Assume that Whitelands was a privately held firm instead of a publicly traded company (number 9 above). Whitelands plans to its 20,000 shares in an initial public offering. The price of stock for the industry in which Whitelands operates trades at 8 times forecast earnings. Determine the selling price for Whitelands stock.
