Broderick Robertson · Answer 1

Total value of equity = Free cashflow

Ke - g

= $100m/0.15-0.05

= $1,000m

Equity per share = $1,000/100m shares

= $10/share

Explanation: In this case, we need to calculate the Total value of equity by dividing the free cashflow by the difference between cost of equity and growth rate. Thereafter, we will divide the total value of equity by the number of shares outstanding in order to obtain the equity value per share.
