A large pet-food manufacturer is considering buying a small boutique cat food business to add to their portfolio of pet foods. The head of the finance division has approached you to conduct a financial analysis to determine the most the firm should pay for the cat food business. The valuation of the cat-food business is based on cash flows of $180,500 per year over a five year period. The target business has the same risk as the firm’s overall operations. The cost of equity is 15 percent and the cost of debt is 3 percent on an after-tax basis. The firm’s capital structure consists of 10 million in equity and 8 million in debt. What is the most the firm can pay for the business per its required return (WACC) ?
