A?· Suggested bidding price for the target = $147 million

A?· Comparable firms of the target firm: unlevered cost of capital = 6.54%

A?· Risk free rate is 3% and market risk premium is 6%.

A?· Five year estimation of free cash flow to the firm (FCFF) and interest tax shields

o FCFF: 13 million (t=1), 7.4 million (t=2), -5.8 million (t=3), 1.4 million (t=4), and 10.3 million (t=5)

o Pre-determined Interest tax shields: $2.3 million at t=1, $2.3 million at t=2, $2.3 million at t=3, $2.7 million at t=4, $2.8 million at t=5 (assuming that cost of debt is 7% for the target firm and this rate is for the PV of tax shield)

A?· Estimation of FCFF at t=6 is $11 million (after t=6 and beyond, FCFF will grow at the constant growth rate = 5% and cost of capital = 9%)
