Year                     1                               2                         3           4
FCF                   $30                      $60                $80       $140

Problem a. What is the value of the stock price today (Year 0)?

Problem b. Set up a simple Excel data table where you show how the estimated intrinsic value varies as the long-run growth rate varies over the following range (5.00%, 5.25%, 5.50%, 5.75%, 6.00%, 6.25%, 6.50%, 6.75%, 7.00%, 7.25%, 7.50%, and 7.75%) - assuming everything else stays constant. When correctly set up, an Excel Data Table will automatically recalculate when input variables are changed.
