When a merger takes place between two companies to form a single firm, the target company to operate as a separate identity. Consider the following scenario: Three Waters Co. is considering an acquisition of Zebra Engineering Corp. (ZEC), and estimates that acquiring ZEC will result in incremental after-tax net cash flows in years 1-3 of $19.00 million, $28.50 million, and $34.20 million, respectively. After the first three years, the incremental cash flows contributed by the ZEC acquisition are expected to grow at a constant rate of 3% per year. Three Waters's current beta is 0.40, but its post-merger beta is expected to be 0.52. The risk-free rate is 3.5%, and the market risk premium is 5.60%.

You are contemplating the purchase of a one-half interest in a corporate airplane to facilitate the expansion of your business into two new geographic areas. The acquisition would eliminate about $220,000 in estimated annual expenditures for commercial flights, mileage reimbursements, rental cars, and hotels for each of the next 10 years. The total purchase price for the half-share is $6 million, plus associated annual operating costs of $100,000. Assume the plane can be fully depreciated on a straight-line basis for tax purposes over 10 years. The company’s weighted average cost of capital (commonly referred to as WACC) is 8%, and its corporate tax rate is 40%. Does this endeavor present a positive or negative net present value (NPV)? If positive, how much value is being created for the company through the purchase of this asset? If negative, what additional annual cash flows would be needed for the NPV to equal zero? To what phenomena might those additional positive cash flows be…

Exhibit 30 (This relates to question below) Assume that Baps Corp. is considering the establishment of a subsidiary in Norway. The initial investment required by the parent is $5 million.

All cash flows generated from the project will be remitted to the parent at the end of each year. Listed below are the estimated cash flows the Norwegian subsidiary will generate over the project's lifetime in Norwegian kroner (NOK): Year 1 NOK10,000,000 Year 1 Year 2 $.13 NOK15,000,000 Year 2 Year 3 The current exchange rate of the Norwegian kroner is $.135.

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 $8.1 million. The cash flows are expected to grow at 5 percent for the next five years before leveling off to 2 percent for the indefinite future. The cost of capital for Schultz and Arras is 9 percent and 7 percent, respectively. Arras currently has 3 million shares of stock outstanding and $25 million in debt outstanding. What is the maximum price per share Schultz should pay for Arras?
Company A is preparing a deal to acquire company B. One analyst estimated that the merger would produce 85 million dollars of annual cost savings, from operations, general and administrative expenses and marketing. These annual cost savings are expected to begin two years from now, and grow at 2.5% a year. In addition the analyst is assuming an after-tax integration cost of 0.1 billion, and taxes of 20%. Assume that the integration cost of 0.1 billion happens one year after the merger is completed (year 1). The analyst is using a cost of capital of 10% to value the synergies. Company B’s equity is trading at 2.3 B dollars (market value of equity). Company A is planning to pay a 32% premium for company B. a) Compute the value of the synergy as estimated by the analyst. b) does the estimate of synergies justify the premium? Could you show me how to work this out in an excel sheet?
Involves the purchase of a lumber mill operation located in Nova Scotia. You have estimated the initial investment as $1,000,000 and the annual pre-tax cash flow over the next 10 years as $200,000 at which point the operation will be obsolete. If GBEI decides to invest in the lumber mill operation, it will be financed using the same proportions of debt and equity that GWEI currently uses. You have collected information on a publicly-traded lumber products company whose primary line of business is similar to GBEI’s lumber mill operation – this has led you to recommend a discount rate of 11.27% for this investment. Assume straight line depreciation. 1. Calculate the NPV, Payback Period, and Profitability Index of the lumber mill operation.
