Given,

Total Market Value of Lantern Corporation = $185 million

Debt + Equity = $190 million

Debt = $190 million - Equity

 

Debt to Equity Ratio = 0.45

Debt / Equity = 0.45

Debt = 0.45 * Equity

$190 million - Equity = 0.45 Equity

1.45 Equity = $190 million

Equity = $190 milllion / 1.45

Equity = $131.03 million

 

Debt = $190 million - Equity

= $190 million - $131.03 million

Debt = $58.97 million

 

Calculation of Lantern's Asset Beta :

Asset Beta = Equity Beta / (1+ (1- Tax Rate) * (Total Debt / Total Equity)))

Given,

Equity Beta = 1.3

Tax rate = 40%

Now Asset Beta = 1.3 / (1+ (1-0.40) * ($58.97 / 131.03)))

= 1.3 / (1+ 0.27)

Asset Beta = 1.02

 

Calculation of Discount rate :

Given,

Risk free rate (Rf) = 5%

Market Risk Premium (Km) = 6.5%

Asset Beta = 1.02

Adjusted Discounted Rate (Kc) = Rf + beta * (Rm - Rf)

= 5% + 1.02 * (6.5% - 5%)

= 5% + 1.54%

Adjusted Discounted Rate Kc = 6.54%

 

Calculation of Lantern's FCF for the Year :

Free Cash Flows = Net Income + Depreciation - Capital Expenditure - Working capital + Interest Expenses*(1- Tax Rate)

Given,

EBIT = $75 million

Net Income / (1- Tax Rate ) + Interest Expenses = $75 million

Net Income / 0.60 + $58.97 million * 5% = $75 million

Net Income =( $75 million- $2.95 million) * 0.60

Net Income = $43.23 million

 

Now FCF = $43.23 million + $22 million - $6 million - $3 million + $58.97 *5% (1-0.40)

= $56.23 million +$1.77 million

FCF for the year = $58 million

 

Calculation of Lantern's Fair value per share :

Return on Capital Employed = EBIT * (1- Tax Rate) / (Book Value of Debt + Book Value of Equity)

= $75 million * 0.60 / $190 million

= 23.68%

 

Discounted Rate = 6.54%

Given FCF constant growth rate = 5%

Therefore Total Value of Lantern's Corporation = FCF / (k- g)

Where k = Disounted rate

g = constant growth rate

= $58 million / (6.54% - 5%)

= $58 million / 1.54%

Total Value of the Company = $3,777.44 million

 

Total Value of Equity = Total Value of the Company - market value of the Debt

= $3,777.44 million - $58.97 million

= $3,718.47 million

Given total number of shares = 100 million

Therefore fair Value of Equity Share = $3,718.47 million / 100 million

= $37.18 per share
