You work for Apple. After toiling away on $10.7 million worth of prototypes, you have finally produced your answer to Google Glasses: iGlasses (the name alone is genius). iGlasses will instantly transport the wearer into the world as Apple wants him to experience it: iTunes with the wink of an eye and apps that can be activated just by looking at them. You think that these will sell for 5 years until the next big thing comes along (or until users are unable to interact with actual human beings). Revenues are projected to be $454.6 million per year along with expenses of $354.7 million. You will need to spend $62.2 million immediately on additional equipment that will be depreciated using the 5-year MACRS schedule. Additionally, you will use some fully depreciated existing equipment that has a market value of $9.8 million. As the iGlasses are an outcome of the R&D center, Apple plans to charge $5.3 million of the annual costs of the center to the iGlasses product for 5 years. Finally,…

To verify their calculations, Carrington and Genevieve have hired Josh Schlessman as a consultant. Josh was previously an equity analyst, and he has covered the HVAC industry. Josh has examined the company’s financial statements as well as those of its competitors. Although Ragan currently has a technological advantage, Josh’s research indicates that Ragan’s competitors are investigating other methods to improve efficiency.

Additionally, Josh believes that the required return the company uses is too high. He believes the industry average required return is more appropriate. Under Josh’s assumptions, what is the estimated stock price?
