Considering that you have a good idea of Free Cash Flow in determining the stock valuation. Based on the latest financial statements of the company, you were able to compute the free cash flow amounted to P300,000 for the current year. You project that for the next two years, this free cash flow will have a growth of 30%, and 20% for the last three years. Then it will maintain its normal growth rate of 10% to infinity. The weighted cost of capital is 15%. The market value of all long term debts totaled P2.0 million and a preferred stock valued at P1.25 million.
