Answer to Problem 1M

The NPV of the acquisition is $20,865,984. As it gives the positive NPV, the merger can be proceeded.

Explanation of Solution

Given information:

Company H will have a cash offer of $250 million for the merger. The dividend of $67.5 million will be paid from Company H to Company B, if Company B buys Company H. The sale price of the stock in Company B is $87 per share and its outstanding shares are 8 million. The rate of interest at which both the company could borrow is 8%.

The present capital cost for Company B and Company H are 11% and 12.4% respectively. The equity cost is 16.9%. Within five years, Company H’s value is projected to be $270 million.

Note: It is necessary to find the present value of incremental cash flow to do a merger analysis. Hence, compute the total cash flow at present from the acquisition.

Explanation:

Formula to calculate the total present cash flow from the acquisition:

Present cash flow=Acquistion of Company H+Dividends from Company H

Calculate the total present cash flow from the acquisition:

Present cash flow=Acquistion of Company H+Dividends from Company H=$250,000,000+$67,500,000=$182,500,000

Hence, the present cash flow is -$182,500,000.

Formula to compute the dividend from Company H:

Dividend=Net incomeRetained earnings

Compute the dividend from Company H:

Dividend in year1 =Net incomeRetained earnings=$20,700,000$0=$20,700,000

Hence, the dividend in Year 1 is $20,700,000.

Dividend in year2 =Net incomeRetained earnings=$20,400,000$15,400,000=$5,000,000

Hence, the dividend in Year 2 is $5,000,000.

Dividend in year 3 =Net incomeRetained earnings=$25,200,000$11,700,000=$13,500,000

Hence, the dividend in Year 3 is $13,500,000.

Dividend in year 4 =Net incomeRetained earnings=$31,650,000$11,700,000=$19,950,000

Hence, the dividend in Year 4 is $19,950,000.

Dividend in year 5 =Net incomeRetained earnings=$37,800,000$10,800,000=$27,000,000

Hence, the dividend in Year 5 is $27,000,000.

Table showing the total cash flow:

Total cash flowYear 1Year 2Year 3Year 4Year 5
Dividends from Hybrid$20,700,000$5,000,000$13,500,000$19,950,000$27,000,000
Terminal value of equity    $270,000,000 
Total$20,700,000$5,000,000$13,500,000$19,950,000$29,700,000

It is necessary to discount every cash flow at the appropriate rate of discount. The company’s terminal risk is subjected to the normal business risk and must be discounted at the capital cost. The dividends must be discounted at the equity cost.

Formula to compute the discounted dividend:

Discounted dividend=Dividend(1+Equity cost)t

Where,

t denotes the number of years.

Compute the discounted dividend:

Discounted dividend for Year 1=Dividend(1+Equity cost)1Year=$20,700,0001+0.169=$17,707,442

Hence, the discounted dividend for Year 1 is $17,707,442.

Discounted dividend for Year 2=Dividend(1+Equity cost)2=$5,000,000(1+0.169)2=$3,658,819

Hence, the discounted dividend for Year 2 is $3,658,819.

Discounted dividend for Year 3=Dividend(1+Equity cost)3=$13,500,000(1+0.169)3=$8,450,652

Hence, the discounted dividend for Year 3 is $8,450,652.

Discounted dividend for Year 4=Dividend(1+Equity cost)4=$19,950,000(1+0.169)4=$10,682,794

Hence, the discounted dividend for Year 4 is $10,682,794.

Discounted dividend for Year 5=Dividend(1+Equity cost)5=$27,000,000(1+0.169)5=$12,367,765

Hence, the discounted dividend for Year 5 is $12,367,765.

Formula to compute the present value of the terminal value of equity:

Present value of the terminal value=Terminal value of equity(1+Capital cost)t

Where,

t denotes the number of years.

Compute the present value of the terminal value of equity:

Present value of the terminal value=Terminal value of equity(1+Capital cost)t=$270,000,000(1+0.124)5=$150,498,513

Hence, the present value of the terminal value of equity is $150,498,513.

Table showing the present values of the cash flows:

 Discount rateYear 1Year 2Year 3Year 4Year 5
Dividends16.90%$17,707,442$3,658,819$8,450,652$10,682,794$12,367,765

Total $17,707,442$3,658,819$8,450,652$10,682,794$162,866,277

Formula to calculate the NPV of the acquisition:

NPV=[Initial cost+Present value of cash flow (Year 1+ year 2+year 3+year 4+year 5)]

Calculate the NPV of the acquisition:

NPV=[Initial cost+Present value of cash flow (Year 1+ year 2+year 3+year 4+year 5)]=[$182,500,000+$17,707,442+$3,658,819+$8,450,652+$10,682,794+$162,866,277]=$20,865,984

Hence, the NPV of the acquisition is $20,865,984.

Crenshaw, Incorporated, is considering the purchase of a $367,000 computer with an economic life of five years. The computer will be fully depreciated over five years using the straight-line method. The market value of the computer will be $67,000 in five years. The computer will replace five office employees whose combined annual salaries are $112,000. The machine will also immediately lower the firm's required net working capital by $87,000. This amount of net working capital will need to be replaced once the machine is sold. The corporate tax rate is 22 percent. The appropriate discount rate is 15 percent. Calculate the NPV of this project.
