Question:

10. Suppose KCS Corp. buys out Patagonia Trucking, a privately owned business, for $50 million.

KCS has only $5 million cash in hand, so it arranges a $45 million bank loan. A normal debt-to-value ratio for a trucking company would be 50% at most, but the bank is satisfied with KCS’s credit rating.

Suppose you were valuing Patagonia by APV in the same format as Table 19.2 . How much debt would you include? Explain briefly.
