Juicers Inc is thinking of acquiring Fast Fruit Company. Juicers expects Fast Fruit's NOPAT to be $9 million the first year, with no net new investment in operating capital and no interest expense. For the second year, Fast Fruit is expected to have NOPAT of $25 million and interest expense of $5 million. Also, in the second year only, Fast Fruit will need $10 million of net new investment in
operating capital. Fast Fruit's marginal tax rate is 40%. After the second year, the free cash flows and the tax shields from Fast Fruit to Juicers will both grow at a constant rate of 4%. Juicers has determined that Fast Fruit's cost of equity is 17.5%, and Fast Fruit currently has no debt outstanding. Assume that all cash flows occur at the end of the year, Juicers must pay $45 million to acquire Fast Fruit. What it the NPV of the proposed acquisition? Note that you must first calculate the value to Juicers of Fast Fruit's equity.
a. $45.0 million
b. $68.2 million
c. $86.5 million
d. $113.2 million
