Enterprise value is the present value of the projected free cash flows (FCFs) for the explicit forecast period plus the present value of the terminal value (TV) that captures all cash flows beyond the forecast, discounted at the weighted average cost of capital (WACC).

1. Relevant knowledge and formulas
- PV of forecast cash flows: sum_{t=1 to 5} FCF_t / (1 + WACC)^t.
- Terminal value at t=5 (Gordon growth): TV_5 = FCF_5 * (1 + g) / (WACC - g).
- Present value of terminal value: PV_TV = TV_5 / (1 + WACC)^5.
- Enterprise value (EV) = PV of forecast FCFs + PV_TV.
Given values: g = 4.4% and WACC = 13.2%.

2. Step-by-step reasoning (symbolic because numeric inputs are missing)
- Compute each discounted forecast cash flow: PV_t = FCF_t / (1.132)^t for t = 1..5.
- Compute terminal value: TV_5 = FCF_5 * (1.044) / (0.132 - 0.044) = FCF_5 * 1.044 / 0.088.
- Discount the terminal value: PV_TV = TV_5 / (1.132)^5.
- Sum EV = sum_{t=1}^5 PV_t + PV_TV.

3. Why a numeric EV cannot be produced
- The five explicit forecast FCFs (FCF_1 … FCF_5) are required to compute both the discounted forecast cash flows and TV_5. The problem text shows those values as missing ("LOADING..."), so no numerical substitution is possible. Without the FCF figures you cannot calculate PV_t, TV_5, PV_TV, or EV.

4. Consequences for parts (a) and (b)
- Part (a) (EV) is uncomputable without the FCFs.
- Part (b) (share price) could be computed from EV by equity value = EV - debt + excess cash, then dividing by shares outstanding; although debt ($282 million) and shares (38 million) appear in the prompt, equity value and share price still depend on the missing EV.

5. Why alternative numeric answers are incorrect
- Any numeric EV or share price would require assuming the missing FCFs; producing a number without those inputs would be speculative and therefore incorrect.

Conclusion: Because the five-year free cash flows are not provided, the correct response is "Insufficient data," which matches the supplied answer.
