C) FCF₁ = $86 million × (1 + 0.1) = $94.6 million; FCF₂ = $86 million × 11ea84dc_f540_6150_9a63_41e80ff0c63d_TB1316_11_TB1316_11 = $104.06 million; FCF₃= 104.06 million × (1 + 0.04) = $108.2224 million V₂ = $108.2224 million / (0.11 - 0.04) = $1546.03 million using a financial calculator, V₀ = $1424.48 million P₀ = (1424.48 million - 275 million + 100 million) / 100 million = $12.49
