5. The following are the details of two potential merger candidates, Andrews (A) and Bames (B) [figures in billions of TZS]. A B Revenues 4,620 3,125 89.00% Cost of Goods Sold (w/o Depreciation) Depreciation Tax Rate 87.50% 200.00 74.00 35.00% 10% of Revenue 2,000 35.00% Working Capital Market Value of Equity Outstanding Debt 10% of Revenue 1,300 250 160 Both firms are expected to grow 5% a year in perpetuity. Capital spending is expected to be offset by depreciation. The beta for both firms is 1, and interest rate on their debt of 8.5% (the Treasury bond rate is 7%). As a result of the merger, the combined firm is expected to have a cost of goods sold of only 86% of total revenues. The combined firm does not plan to borrow additional debt. Required: a. Estimate the value of A, operating independently. b. Estimate the value of B, operating independently. c. Estimate the value of the combined firm, with no synergy. d. Estimate the value of the combined firm, with synergy. e. How much is the operating synergy worth? 5.
