Question:

Acme is also considering the acquisition of a firm in the Czech Republic and would like your opinion on this. It plans to operate the firm for 3 years and then reevaluate the holding.

Free Cash flows are estimated as follows:

Year 1 - 38.63M Czech Koruna (CZK), Year 2 - 44.33 M CZK,

Year 3 - 50.48M CZK

The third year terminal value is estimated at 375M CZK.

The Czech firm has 1,000,000 shares outstanding and a debt to equity ratio of 1:1. Current market price is 185 CZK per share.

All monetary information (except per share) should be presented in CZK millions (i.e., do not convert to USD).

2. What changes in the analysis or additional analysis do you suggest before a final decision should be made?
