Explanation:

The value of Nabor Industries entire company using the free cash flows can be determined by calculating the present value of all free cash flows that will be occurred in the future in the following manner:

Present value of 2004 free cash flow                            $176,991.15

200,000(1+13%)^-1

Present value of 2005 free cash flow                            $234,944

300,000(1+13%)^-2

Present value of 2006 free cash flow                            $277,220.06

400,000(1+13%)^-3

Present value of cash flows after 2006                         $3,203,431.86

((400,000(1+4%))/(13%-4%))*(1+13%)^-3

Value of Nabor Corporation                                            $3,892,587.07

So based on the above calculations, our answer is e. $3,892,587.08
