You need to estimate the value of Laputa Aviation. You have the following forecasts (in millions of dollars) of its profits and of its future investments in new plant and working capital:
Year
1 2 3 4
Earnings before interest, taxes,
depreciation, and amortization (EBITDA)		 90 110 125 130
Depreciation 10 20 25 30
Pretax profit 80 90 100 100
Tax at 40% 32 36 40 40
Investment 19 22 25 27

From year 5 onward, EBITDA, depreciation, and investment are expected to remain unchanged at year-4 levels. Laputa is financed 40% by equity and 60% by debt. Its cost of equity is 12%, its debt yields 7%, and it pays corporate tax at 40%.

a. Estimate the company’s total value

b. What is the value of Laputa’s equity?

5. (15 points) Assume that a company is expected to produce EBITDA of $90M in perpetuity. The corporate tax rate the company is subject to is 35%. To maintain the existing production capacities, capital expenditures are expected to be at $10M per year, in perpetuity. Annual depreciation, expected in perpetuity as well, is $10M. The current risk-free rate is 3%, and it is expected to remain so in perpetuity. The company has $200M in long-term debt, which is considered by the bank to be risk-free, so the interest rate the firm pays on its debt is 3%. The company expects to hold that amount of debt in perpetuity.
