Although you are very much interested in owning the​ company, you are concerned about whether it is fairly priced.

The key values you have compiled are summarized in the following​ table, a. Use the free cash flow valuation model to estimate​ CoolTech's common stock value per share. b.  Judging by your finding in part a and the​ stock's offering​ price, should you buy the​ stock? c. On further​ analysis, you find that the growth rate in FCF beyond year 4will be 5​% rather than 4​%. What effect would this finding have on your responses in parts a and b​?
