With all these cash flow calculations, I hope the accountants at HJK don't get 'discounted' by the competition!

Option B and D seem a bit too simplistic, just using the share price and number of shares. I'd want a more comprehensive analysis to value the equity properly.

User3: Option A also looks promising, with cash flows discounted at the cost of equity. It provides a more detailed approach to valuation.

I'm not sure about Option C - discounting $14 million cash flows at the cost of equity seems too low. Unless there's a good reason for that, I wouldn't go with that approach.

I would also consider Option A, as it uses the cost of equity to discount the $24 million cash flows. This is a common and straightforward valuation method.

But option E takes into account the tax and the value of debt, which is important for accurate valuation.

Option E seems the most appropriate approach, as it considers the net cash flows after tax and discounts them at the weighted average cost of capital (WACC) minus the value of debt. This gives a more comprehensive valuation of the equity.
