Remex (RMX) currently has no debt in its capital structure. The beta of its equity is 1.42. For each year into the indefinite future, Remex's free cash flow is expected to equal $28 million. Remex is considering changing its capital structure by issuing debt and using the proceeds to buy back stock. It will
do so in such a way that it will have a 28% debt-equity ratio after the change, and it will maintain this debt-equity ratio forever. Assume that Remex's debt cost of capital will be 6.11%. Remex faces a corporate tax rate of 15%. Except for the corporate tax rate of 15%, there are no market imperfections.
Assume that the CAPM holds, the risk-free rate of interest is 4.7%, and the expected return on the market is 10.34%.

barnette Inc.'s free cash flows are expected to be unstable during the next few years while the company undergoes restructuring. However, FCF is expected to be $39.71 million in Year 5, i.e., FCF at t = 5 equals $39.71 million, and the FCF growth rate is expected to be constant at 4.75% beyond that point. If the weighted average cost of capital is 11%, what is the horizon value (in millions) at t = 5?
