    Answer: Compco's market capitalization will be $187.71 billion; $27.6 per share.

    Explanation:

    Market capitalisation:

    = CF0 (1+g) / (Rs-g)

    where,

    RS = 11.5% = 11.5/100 = 0.115

    g = 8.5% = 8.5/100 = 0.085

    = 5.19 (1+0.085) : (0.115-0.085)

    = 5.19 * 1.085 / 0.03

    = $187.71

    Compco's market capitalization will be $187.71 billion

    stock price:

    = 187.71/6.8 = $27.6 per share

    Therefore, if Compco has 6.8 billion shares outstanding, this will correspond to a stock price of $27.6 per share.
