Corporation A is deciding on an acquisition. Corporation A would buy all shares of corporation B, for a total of 500,000 shares of B. Currently, corporation B is expected to pay a constant dividend forever of $12 per share. The market price of B shares reflects these expectations, and the required rate of return is 4%. A can buy B shares at their current market price, and management expects to be able to exploit synergies between the two corporations and increase revenues. Thus, according to A’s management, if the acquisition takes place the dividend per share for next year is expected to be $12, but dividends are then expected to grow forever at a rate of 3% per year. The required rate of return on stock B would stay unchanged at 4%. What is the NPV of the acquisition? .
3. Suppose you are the sole owner of company ABC. The market value of your company is $100 and there are 20 shares. Now you are thinking about acquiring the target company XYZ with a standing alone market value of $50 with 25 shares outstanding. The synergy of the two companies is $20. We assume the cost of the merger is zero, meaning target shareholders break even. a) Suppose you pay XYZ's shareholders in cash from your company ABC. What is the total firm value post-merger? What is the share price? b) Suppose you instead create new shares to pay XYZ's shareholders. How many shares do you need to create? How many shares do you need to pay for each share in XYZ? Instead of $20, in the remainder of the question, we assume the synergy is -$10. c) Redo part a) under the new synergy. Would you choose to acquire company XYZ? Discuss your finding in comparison with a).
