7. Dividends, repurchases, and firm value Aa Aa Remember that the primary goal of a firm is to maximize shareholder wealth by increasing the firm's intrinsic value. It is thus important to understand the impact of distributions-both in the form of dividends or stock repurchases-on the firm's value. Consider the following situation: Rihana is a financial analyst in Bidget Corp. As part of her analysis of the annual distribution policy and its impact on the firm's value, she makes the following calculations and observations: . The company generated a free cash flow (FCF) of $84 million in its most recent fiscal year. The firm's cost of capital (WACC) is 16%. The firm has been growing at 5% for the past six years but is expected to grow at a constant rate of 4% in the future The firm has 21.00 million shares outstanding . The company has $224 million in debt and $140 million in preferred stock. Along with the rest of the finance team, Rihana has been part of board meetings and knows that the company is planning to distribute $60 million, which is invested in short-term investments, to its shareholders by buying back stock from its shareholders. Rihana also observed that at this point, apart from the $60 million in short-term investments, the firm has no other nonoperating assets. Using results from Rihana's calculations and observations, solve for the values in the following tables. Select the best answer provided in the selection list.
