Questions: Company Bigger is thinking about buying a small startup company, Tinyer, from the founders. You have the following information:

· Bigger has a debt-to-equity ratio (leverage) of 2, the covariance of its equity return with the market return is 0.09.

· The riskfree rate is 0.03, the expected market return is 0.08 and the standard deviation of the market return is 0.2.

· The corporate tax rate is 0.4.

· Both Bigger and Tinyer are selling widgets, and you can assume that they have the same business risk.

· Each year Tinyer sells 200,000 units of widgets. The expected sales price for each unit is 15 and the variable cost for each unit is 5. In addition, Tinyer has an expected annual fixed cost of 500,000.

· You can assume that both the existing operations of Bigger and the income stream of Tinyer are perpetual.

· There are no frictions, no bankruptcy costs, markets are efficient and CAPM holds.
