Answer to Problem 14QP

The value of Publications I to Company B is $9,857,250.

Explanation of Solution

Given information:

“Company B” is analysing the purchase of “Publications I”. Company B expects that earnings and dividends of Publications I to grow at a constant rate of 5% every year. Because of synergy, Company B’s growth rate will increase to 7% each year.

The price earnings ratio of Company B and Publications I are 14.5% and 9.2% respectively. The outstanding shares of Company B and Publications I are $1,400,000 and $195,000 respectively. The earnings of Company B and Publications I are $4,300,000 and $705,000 respectively and the dividends of Company B and Publications I are $1,075,000 and $375,000 respectively.

Formula to calculate the value of Publications I to Company B:

EPSI=Value of dividends for company BShares outstanding for Publications I 

Calculate the value of Publications I to Company B:

EPSI=Value of dividends for company BShares outstanding for Publications I =$705,000195,000=$3.61538 per share

Hence, the value of Publications I to Company B is $3.61538 per share.

Formula to calculate the share price of Target Company (I Publications):

PI=Price earning ratio of Publications I(EPSI)

Calculate the share price of Target Company (I Publications):

PI=Price earning ratio of Publications I(EPSI)=9.2($3.61538)=$33.261496

Hence, the share price of the target company is $33.261496.

Formula to calculate the dividend per share:

DPSI=Dividends of Publications IOutstanding share of Publications I

Calculate the dividend per share:

DPSI=Dividends of Publications IOutstanding share of Publications I=$375,000195,000=$1.923

Hence, the dividend of Publications I is $1.923.

Formula to calculate the required rate of return for the target company’ shareholders:

Required rate of return of ?Publications I} = DPST(1+growth rate)Share price+Growth rate

Calculate the required rate of return for the target company’ shareholders:

Required rate of return of ?Publications I} = DPST(1+growth rate)Share price+Growth rate$1.923(1+0.05)$33.261496+0.05=0.1107=11.07%

Hence, the required return of Publications I is 11.07%.

Formula to calculate the share price of the target company with new growth rate:

PI=DPST×(1+New growth rate)(Required rate of return of target companyNew growth rate)

Calculate the share price of the target company with new growth rate:

PI=DPST×(1+New growth rate)(Required rate of return of target companyNew growth rate)=$1.923×(1+0.07)(0.11070.07)=$2.057610.0407=$50.55

Hence, the share price of the target company is $50.55.

Formula to calculate the value of Publications I to Company B:

VI*=Outstanding shares of Publications I (PT)

Calculate the value of Publications I to Company B:

VI*=Outstanding shares of Publications I (PT)=195,000×$50.55=$9,857,250

Hence, the value of Publications I to Company B is $9,857,250.

The earnings of Company B and Publications I are $4,300,000 and $705,000 respectively and the dividends of Company B and Publications I are $1,075,000 and $375,000 respectively.

Formula to calculate the NPV of the acquisition, if Company B offers $38 in cash for each share of Publications I:

NPV = VIOutstanding share of Publications I(Offer price per share)

Calculate the NPV of the acquisition, if Company B offers $38 in cash for each share of Publications I.

NPV = VIOutstanding share of Publications I(Offer price per share)=$9,857,250195,000(38)=$2,447,250

Hence, the NPV of the acquisition at $38 offer price is $2,447,250.

Answer to Problem 14QP

The reduction in growth rate, results in positive NPV for cash offer and negative NPV for stock offer.

Explanation of Solution

Given information:

“Company B” is analysing the purchase of “Publications I”. Company B expects that earnings and dividends of Publications I to grow at a constant rate of 5% every year. Because of synergy, Company B’s growth rate will increase to 7% each year.

Formula to calculate the share price of the target company with changed growth rate:

PI=DPST×(1+New growth rate)(Required rate of return of target companyNew growth rate)

Calculate the share price of the target company with changed growth rate.

PI=DPST×(1+New growth rate)(Required rate of return of target companyNew growth rate)=$1.923×(1+0.06)(0.11070.06)=$2.038380.0507=$40.20

Hence, the share price of the target company with changed rate of growth is $40.20.

Formula to calculate the value of Publications I to Company B:

VI*=Outstanding shares of Publications I (PT)

Calculate the value of Publications I to Company B:

VI*=Outstanding shares of Publications I (PT)=195,000×$40.20=$7,839,000

Hence, the value of Publications I to Company B is $7,839,000.

Formula to calculate Company B’s gain from acquisition:

Gain = (Value of publications I to Company BOutstanding share of Publications I×Share price)

Calculate Company B’s gain from acquisition:

Gain = (Value of publications I to Company BOutstanding share of Publications I×Share price)=$7,839,000195,000×$33.261496=$6,485,991.72

Hence, the gain is $6,485,991.72.

Formula to calculate the NPV of the acquisition, if Company B offers $38 in cash for each share of Publications I.

NPV for cash= VIOutstanding share of Publications I(Offer price per share)

Calculate the NPV of the acquisition, if Company B offers $38 in cash for each share of Publications I.

NPV for cash= VIOutstanding share of Publications I(Offer price per share)=$7,839,000195,000(38)=$429,000

Hence, the NPV for cash is 429,000.

Formula to calculate the price of the stock in the merged firm:

PMerged firm =(VB+VI)(Outstanding shares of Company B +Number of shares offered for exchange)

Calculate the price of the stock in the merged firm:

PMerged firm =(VB+VI)(Outstanding shares of Company B +Number of shares offered for exchange)=$62,349,980+$7,839,0001,400,000+205,000=$43.73

Hence, the price of the merged stock firm is $43.73.

Formula to calculate the NPV for stock offer:

NPV for stock=VINumber of shares offered for exchange(PMerged firm)

Calculate the NPV for stock offer:

NPV for stock=VINumber of shares offered for exchange(PMerged firm)=$7,839,000205,000($43.73)=$1,125,650

Note:

  • EPS represents Earnings Per Share
  • NPV represents Net Present Value
  • P represents Share price
  • DPS represents Dividend Per Share
  • V represents Market Value

Hence, the NPV for stock is -$1,125,650.
