## Problem 12-20: Firm Valuation Schultz Industries is considering the purchase of Arras Manufacturing. Arras is currently a supplier for Schultz, and the acquisition would allow Schultz to better control its material supply. The current cash flow from assets for Arras is $6.6 million. The cash flows are expected to grow at 7 percent for the next five years before leveling off to 4 percent for the indefinite future. The cost of capital for Schultz and Arras is 11 percent and 9 percent, respectively. Arras currently has 3 million shares of stock outstanding and $25 million in debt outstanding. **Question:** What is the maximum price per share Schultz should pay for Arras? *(Do not round intermediate calculations and round your answer to 2 decimal places, e.g., 32.16.)*
Schultz is purchasing Arras therefore, we need to evalute value of Arras and need to calculate share price of Arras , therefore need to use cost of capital of Arras.
given,
cost of capital of Arras = 9%
cashflow of Arras :
cashflow at year 0 = $6.6 million
cash flow grows at rate rate 7% for 5 years
cashflow at year 1 (CF1)= 6.6 x (1+7%) = $7.062
cashflow at year 2 (CF2)= 7.062 x (1+7%) = $7.55634
cashflow at year 3 (CF3)= $7.55634 x (1+7%) = $8.085
cashflow at year 4 (CF4)=$8.085 x (1+7%) = $8.65
cashflow at year 5 (CF5)= $8.65 x (1+7%) = $9.257
after 5th year growth rate is 4% for perpetuity
therefore cashflow at year 6
cashflow at year 6 (CF6) = $9.257 x (1+4%) = $9.625
given
r = 9%
applying terminal value formula:
given, debt of $25 million
