Question: Hastings Corporation is interested in acquiring Vandell Corporation. Vandell has 1 million shares outstanding and a target capital structure consisting of 30% debt. Vandell's debt interest rate is 7.9%. Assume that the risk-free rate of interest is 7% and the market risk premium is 8%. Both Vandell and Hastings face a 40% tax rate.

Interest in the fourth year will be $1.468 million after which interest and the tax shield will grow at 4%. Synergies will cause the free cash flows to be $2.3 million, $2.7 million, $3.3 million, and then $3.98 million in Years 1 through 4, respectively, after which the free cash flows will grow at 4% rate.
