From page 34 of the source, we obtain the following equations: The Value of the Firm = Free Cash Flow to the Firm/(cost of capital - expected growth rate in perpetuity) The Free Cash Flow to the Firm = Earnings Before Interest and Taxes (1 - tax rate) (1 - Reinvestment Rate) The Reinvestment Rate = (Capital Expenditures - Depreciation - change in Working Capital)/[Earnings Before Interest and Taxes (1 - tax rate)] By definition, (Earnings Before Interest and Taxes - Interest) (1 - tax rate) = Net Income We know that interest expense is $150 million, the tax rate is 50%, and the net income is $50 million. Therefore, Earnings Before Interest and Taxes are $250 million. That makes the Reinvestment Rate = ($200 million - $100 million - 0)/[$250 million (0.5)] = 0.8. In turn, the Free Cash Flow to the Firm = $250 million (0.5) (0.2) = $25 million. Now we can calculate the Value of the Firm. It is $25 million/(0.11 - 0.04) or $357.14 million.
