Costellos debts of $1,500,000 will be paid off at the end of year 5 resulting in no interest payments thereafter. In addition, Abbott knows that the equipment will need repairs and expect to pay $500,000 for repairs in Year 2 and another $750,000 in Year 4.

Regarding the business performance, Abbott believes that they can increase revenues by 9% per year for the first three years, after which it will plateau at 3% growth per year. They believe COGS will increase by 12% during each of the first 2 years and then only go up 2% per year afterward. However, to achieve this goal they will increase ad spending to $500,000 in the first year and then keep that same dollar amount in ad spending thereafter. Depreciation will be consistent throughout the foreseeable future. SG&A and Shipping expenses will both grow by 3% per year. Costellos income tax rate is 25%. Abbott only wishes to forecast cash flows 8 years out as they believe there is too much uncertainty thereafter.

Abbott has a desired rate of return of at least 9% on any investments they make. Determine whether Abbott should acquire Costello Corp for the price of $8,500,000.
