Value of debt $90.0 million
Value of preferred stock  $25.4 million
Cash&marketable securities $6.9 million
Number of common shares outstanding 12.5 million
Firm's tax rate   30%
Appropriate EV/EBITDA multiple 6x

The value per share of the company's common stock is closest to:

【正确答案】 C
【答案解析】

First, compute the enterprise value (EV) from EBIDTA x EV/EBITDA multiple.
Then determine market capitalization (value of equity) using the following expression (see p.297). Finally, compute the value per share.
EV = Market capitalization + MV of preferred stock + MV of debt - Cash and investments
Market capitalization = EV - MV of Preferred stock - MV of debt - Cash and investments
Value per share = Market capitalization/Number of outstanding shares.
