Yam Ltd ( Y ) has been evaluating the acquisition of Xavier Ltd ( X ) . The current annual expected cash flows of Y

Yam Ltd (Y) has been evaluating the acquisition of Xavier Ltd (X). The current annual
expected cash flows of Y and X are, respectively, $1.16 million per annum in
perpetuity and $640000 per annum in perpetuity. These cash flows are expected to
be unaffected by the takeover. The systematic risk (beta) of Y is 0.75 and of X is 1.0.
The risk-free interest rate is 10 per cent and the market risk premium is 6 per cent.
The post-takeover cash flow of the merged entity is expected to be $1.95 million per
annum in perpetuity with the additional cash flows attributable to realising cost
efficiencies in the management of the assets previously owned by Xavier Ltd. There is
no change to the systematic risk of those cash flows. What is the value of the benefit
to Yam Ltd shareholders from the acquisition assuming a $500,000 control premium
was paid to Xavier shareholders?
