Choose all correct answer(s) On average, the price of the target increases substantially, while the price of the bidder does not increase by much.

Consequently, Johnson’s Chief Financial Officer (CFO) estimates that the value of Jameson Limited, a potential takeover target could range, before an acquisition premium is added, from a high of $650 million using discounted cash flow analysis to a low of $500 million using the comparable companies’ relative valuation method. A valuation based on a recent comparable transaction is $672 million. The CFO anticipates that Jameson Limited’s management and shareholders would be willing to sell for a 20 percent acquisition premium, based on the premium paid for the recent comparable transaction. The CEO asks the CFO to provide a single estimate of the value of Jameson Limited based on the three estimates. In calculating a weighted average of the three estimates, the CFO gives a value of 0.6 to the recent transactions…arrow_forwardplease help me analyze and answer the followingarrow_forward

After the first three years, the incremental cash flows contributed by the Keedsler acquisition are expected to grow at a constant rate of 6% per year.
