1. Assuming a discounted cashflow (DCF) valuation:
   • What rate of return should Oracle require on the acquisition?
   • What base-case cashflows do you forecast?
   • What is your estimate of terminal value?
   • What is the enterprise value of Sun Microsystems?
   • What is Sun's equity value?
   • You should assume a 35% corporate tax rate and a 7% market risk premium for your valuation.
