0. The company has 100,000 shares of stock outstanding. We are asked to find the value of the firm and the value of common stock per share.

2. Solution Steps

Step 1: Calculate the total value of the firm.
Since the free cash flow is expected to be constant forever, we can use the perpetuity formula:
ValueofFirm=FreeCashFlowWACCValue of Firm = \frac{Free Cash Flow}{WACC}
Value of Firm = \frac{460,000}{0.09}$
ValueofFirm=Value of Firm = 5,111,111.11$
Step 2: Calculate the value of common stock.
ValueofCommonStock=ValueofFirmValueofDebtValueofPreferredStockValue of Common Stock = Value of Firm - Value of Debt - Value of Preferred Stock
ValueofCommonStock=Value of Common Stock = 5,111,111.11 - 200,000200,000 - 180,000$
ValueofCommonStock=Value of Common Stock = 4,731,111.11$
Step 3: Calculate the value of common stock per share.
ValueofCommonStockPerShare=ValueofCommonStockNumberofSharesValue of Common Stock Per Share = \frac{Value of Common Stock}{Number of Shares}
Value of Common Stock Per Share = \frac{4,731,111.11}{100,000}$
ValueofCommonStockPerShare=Value of Common Stock Per Share = 47.31$

3. Final Answer

Value of the firm: $5,111,111.11
Value of common stock per share: $47.31
