A group of Investors is intent on purchasing a publicly traded company and wants to estimate the highest price they can reasonably

justify paying. The target company's equity beta is $1\mathrm{.}20$ and its debt$-$to$-$firm value ratio, measured using market values, is $60$ percent.

The investors plan to Improve the target's cash flows and sell it for $12$ times free cash flow in year five. Projected free cash flows and

selling price are as follows.

payments at the end of each year, plus interest on the declining balance. This will be the only interest$-$bearing debt outstanding after

the acquisition.
