Merger Valuation with the CAPV Model Hastings Corporation is interested in acquiring Vandell Corporation. Vandell currently has 1 million shares outstanding and a target capital structure consisting of 30% debt; its current beta is 1.60 (i.e., based on its target capital structure). Vandell's debt interest rate is 7.9%. Assume that the risk-free rate of interest is 4% and the market risk premium is 5%. Both Vandell and Hastings face a 30% tax rate. Hastings Corporation estimates that if it acquires Vandell Corporation, synergies will cause Vandell’s free cash flows to be $2.5 million, $3.2 million, $3.3 million, and $3.86 million at Years 1 through 4, respectively, after which the free cash flows will grow at a constant 5% rate. Hastings plans to assume Vandell’s $9.41 million in debt (which has an 7.9% interest rate) and raise additional debt financing at the time of the acquisition. Hastings estimates that interest payments will be $1.6 million each year for Years 1, 2, and 3. After Year 3, a target capital structure of 30% debt will be maintained. Interest at Year 4 will be $1.487 million, after which the interest and the tax shield will grow at 5%. What is Vandell’s pre-acquisition levered cost of equity? What is its unlevered cost of equity?
