to equity (FCFE) and free cash flow to the firm (FCFF) from 2018 to 2027 for Trammel Medical
Supplies. In early 2018, Trammel unexpectedly announced a new 15-year issue of senior debt.
The proceeds are expected to be used to repurchase common stock in the open market during
2018.

2019 through 2027.
B. decrease his FCFE forecast for 2018 and increase his FCFE forecast for
2019 through 2027.

forecast for 2019 through 2027.

2019 through 2027.
