Gamma Co (Gamma) is considering an acquisition of Delta Co (Delta). The current financial year (year 0) is just about to conclude for both Gamma and Delta. Gamma is a publicly traded company and Delta is a private company. Gamma has 5 million shares outstanding, which trade for $15 per share. Delta has 3 million shares outstanding, but its shares do not trade on the stock market since it is private, and there is no market price available for Deltas shares. Since there is no market price for Deltas shares, Gamma decides to estimate the value of Delta using the discounted cash flow method. This year (year 0), Delta is expected to have $6 million in sales, which are expected to grow by 2% each year. Deltas EBIT margin has always been 40% of sales, and that is expected to continue in the future. Deltas depreciation and capital expenditures are expected to be 15% of sales. Deltas working capital is 10% of sales this year, and 10% of sales in future years. The tax rate is 30%. Delta has no debt. The riskfree rate is 4%, the market risk premium is 6%, and Deltas beta is estimated to be 0.8. After the acquisition, Gamma estimates that it would be able to cut costs by eliminating Deltas sales and general administrative expenses, which are estimated to be around 10% of sales each year. All cash flows occur at the end of the year.
