Respuesta :

Answer:

$37.75

Explanation:

In order to find the stock price we need to calculate the firm value.

Firm value:

[tex]=\frac{FCF}{WACC-Growth}[/tex]

[tex]=\frac{9,000,000}{9\ percent-3\ percent}[/tex]

[tex]=\frac{9,000,000}{6\ percent}[/tex]

      = $150,000,000

Therefore, the stock price is as follows:

[tex]=\frac{Firm\ value+Excess\ cash\ value}{Shares\ outstanding}[/tex]

[tex]=\frac{150,000,000+1,000,000}{4,000,000}[/tex]

[tex]=\frac{151,000,000}{4,000,000}[/tex]

      = $37.75

Therefore, the  price of Portage Bay​ stock is $37.75
