Enterprise value = $20.988 million

Explanation:

We calculate the FCFF first using the given information.

FCFF from EBIT = EBIT * (1 - Tax rate) + Depreciation - Working Capital increase - Capital expenditure

Thus, the FCFF for Victoria Enterprises is:

FCFF = 1.3 million * (1 - 0.35) + 0.309 million - 0.053 million - 0.309 million FCFF = 0.792 million

Using the FCFF we calculate the firm value using constant growth model as,

Value = 0.792 * (1 + 0.06) / 0.10 - 0.06 = $20.988 million
