Mergers, Acquisitions, Financial Distress, and International Finance
Q1- The following table shows the projected cash flows and their respective discount rates after the acquisition of SFC by WC. Fill in the blanks and calculate the stock price of the new firm if it has $100 million of debts and 5 million shares of stock outstanding.
Net cash flow per year (Perpetual) in millions Discount rate% Value in millions
SFC $ 8 16% ?50
WC 20 10 ?200
Benefit from acquisition 5 ?11.7 42.5
Revenue enhancement 2.5 ?20 12.5
Cost reduction 2 10 ?20
Tax shelter 0.5 5 ?10
WC 33 ?11.28 ?292.50

The value of a perpetual cash flow is given by Net cash flow per year/discount rate.
We use this formula to fill the table above. For example
SFC. - Value = 8/0.16 = 50
WC - Value = 20/10% = 200
Cost reduction = 2/10% = $20
Tax shelter = 0.5/5% = $10
The rates are calculated as
Benefit from acquisition = 5/42.5 = 11.7%
Revenue enhancement = 2.5/12.5 = 20%
We add up the benefits of acquisition, which is 42.5 to the value of WC and SFC to get the total value. It comes to 292.5 (50+200+42.50). Again use the value formula to get the discount rate. The discount rate = 33/292.5=11.28%.
The value of the firm is $292.5 million. Of this debt is $100 million. The value of equity is 292.5-100=$192.5 million. The number of shares outstanding are 5 million. The stock price of the firm is 192.5/5=$38.5.

Q2- FP. Is considering making an offer to purchase PI. The treasurer of FM has collected the following information
FP PI
Price-earning ratio 15 12
Number of share 1,000,000 250,000
Earnings $1,000,000 $750,000
The treasurer also knows that securities analysis expect the earnings and dividends (currently at $1.80 per share) of PI to grow at a constant rate of 5% each year. His research indicates, however, that the acquisition would provide PI with some economies of scale that would improve this growth rate to 7% per year.
a. What is the value of PI to FP?
The current value of PI is Earnings X P/E. This is 750,000X12=$9,000,000. We also know that the value of a firm is the discounted sum of dividends. It is given that the ...
