Reference no: EM13935135
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 7.8%. Assume that the risk-free rate of interest is 4% and the market risk premium is 7%. Both Vandell and Hastings face a 40% tax rate.
Hastings estimates that if it acquires Vandell, interest payments will be $1,500,000 per year for 3 years. Suppose Hastings will increase Vandell's level of debt at the end of Year 3 to $27.7 million so that the target capital structure will be 45% debt. Assume that with this higher level of debt the interest rate would be 8.0%, and assume that interest payments in Year 4 are based on the new debt level from the end of Year 3 and new interest rate. Again, free cash flows and tax shields are projected to grow at 5% after Year 4.
