Summary Introduction

To calculate: The NPV of the merger, and whether the merger should be undertaken or not.

Introduction:

Merger:

An agreement between two existing companies that combines them to form one single company is termed as a merger. This is done for the expansion of business, share in the market and value of shareholders.

Synergistic benefits:

Synergistic benefits arise out of the merger of two or more entities, which is a basic term meaning that the performance and value of the combined entity will be more than those of the individual entities.

Net present value (NPV):

It is the difference between the PV (present value) of cash inflows and that of cash outflows. It is used in capital budgeting and planning investments to assess the benefit and losses of any project or investment.

Scenario one: Under what circumstances would it be appropriate for a firm to use different cost of capital for its different operating divisions? If the overall firm WACC was used as the hurdle rate for all divisions, would the riskier division or the more conservative divisions tend to get most of the investment projects? Why? If you were to try to estimate the appropriate cost of capital for different divisions, what problems might you encounter? What are two techniques you could use to develop a rough estimate for each division’s cost of capital?
Scenario three: If a portfolio has a positive investment in every asset, can the expected return on a portfolio be greater than that of every asset in the portfolio? Can it be less than that of every asset in the portfolio? If you answer yes to one of both of these questions, explain and give an example for your answer(s). Please Provide a Reference
