Corporation has an unlevered cost of equity of 12% and is taxed at a 40% rate. The 4-year forecasts of free
cash flow and interest expenses are shown in the following table; free cash flow and interest expenses are
expected to grow at a 5% rate after Year 4. Using the compressed APV model, answer the following
questions.
a. Calculate the estimated horizon value of the tax shield at Year 4 (i.e., immediately after the Year–4 free
