Reference no: EM13923627
You work for Maverick Manufacturing (MM) and the Vice President of Finance has asked your group to evaluate a firm they are considering acquiring, EDK Industries, a smaller competitor. Your group must estimate the cost of capital so that it can be used to determine the overall value of the acquisition target. From there, your group can determine the intrinsic value of the target firm’s equity shares. MM is fairly conservative and has a target capital structure of 25%, 5%, and 70% for debt, preferred stock, and common equity, respectively. Your boss would like an easily adaptable, attractive spreadsheet model.
Part I. Cost of Capital
Your group identified the following useful information for Maverick Manufacturing:
The book value of equity is $50 million. MM also has 7.5 million shares of common stock outstanding trading at a market price of $21 a share. It is expected that the company will pay a $1.55 dividend per share next year, after which, dividends will grow at a constant 4% rate. The common stock has a beta of 1.75; the market risk premium is 5.5% and the risk-free rate is 2%.
Moreover, there are 1 million shares of 4% preferred stock outstanding at a market price of $28 per share (assume par value = $50).
Maverick Manufacturing issued 30 year bonds 3 years ago with a coupon rate of 8%. The bonds are currently trading at 95% of par and there are 85,000 bonds outstanding. They have no other interest-bearing debt. The bonds pay interest semi annually.
The tax rate is 35%
