BTR Warehousing plans to use more debt in the first few years of the acquisition of Lucky Corp. Assuming that using more debt will not lead to an

increase in bankruptcy costs for BTR Warehousing, the interest tax shields and the value of the tax shield in the analysis, will $.$ leading

to a $.$ value of operations of the acquired firm.

The APV approach is considered useful for valuing acquisition targets, because the method involves finding the values of the unlevered firm and the

interest tax shield separately and then summing those values. Why is it difficult to value certain types of acquisitions using the corporate valuation

model?

The acquiring firm usually assumes the debt of the target firm. Thus, old debt with different coupon rates usually becomes a part of the

acquisition deal.

The acquiring firm immediately retires the target firm's old debt. Thus, the acquisition deal consists of only new debt in its capital

structure.Merger analysis $-$ Adjusted present value $($APV$)$ approach

BTR Warehousing, which is considering the acquisition of Lucky Corp., estimates that acquiring Lucky will result in an incremental value for the firm.

The analysts involved in the deal have collected the following information from the projected financial statements of the target company:

Lucky Corp. is a publicly traded company, and its market$-$determined pre$-$merger beta is $1\mathrm{.}40.$ You also have the following information about the

company and the projected statements:

Lucky currently has a $$18\mathrm{.}00$ million market value of equity and $$11\mathrm{.}70$ million in debt.

The risk$-$free rate is $5\mathrm{.}5\%,$ there is a $7\mathrm{.}60\%$ market risk premium, and the Capital Asset Pricing Model produces a pre$-$merger

required rate of return on equity $r_{sL}$ of $16\mathrm{.}14\%.$

Lucky's cost of debt is $7\mathrm{.}50\%$ at a tax rate of $30\%.$

The projections assume that the company will have a post$-$horizon growth rate of $6\mathrm{.}00\%.$

Current total net operating capital is $$118\mathrm{.}0,$ and the sum of existing debt and debt required to maintain a constant capital structure

at the time of acquisition is $$28$ million.

The firm does not have any nonoperating assets such as marketable securities$.$
