The average stock price of Flueger Systems under the comparable company approach for the three relative valuation ratios, assuming it is traded at the mean of the three valuations, is closest to: A $27.50 B $30.33 C $32.00 The calculation for the relative value valuation is shown in the following figures: 18 Using the comparable company approach, the mean takeover premium and the estimate of the fair acquisition price for Flueger Systems are closest to a: A 22.4% premium and a $37.12 acquisition price B 22.4% premium and a $40.28 acquisition price C 15.6% premium and a $37.12 acquisition price The calculation for the mean takeover premium is: Applying this value to the mean comparable company valuation calculated in Question 17 gives us: $30.33 × 1.224 = $37.12 19 The fair acquisition price for Flueger Systems using the comparable transaction approach is closest to: A B C $30.33 $32.50 $37.20 The calculation for the fair acquisition price under the comparable transaction approach is shown in the following figures: 20 Are Collier and Baldwin correct in regard to their suggestions to Tyler about potential courses of action if there is a hostile takeover? A Both are correct B Both are incorrect C Only one is correct Both Collier’s statement and Baldwin’s statement are incorrect Collier suggests using a fair price amendment after the takeover is announced; however, a fair price amendment is a pre-offer defense, not a post-offer defense Baldwin’s statement is incorrect because he is actually describing a white squire defense, not a white knight defense SELF-TEST: CORPORATE FINANCE You have now finished the Corporate Finance topic section The following self-test will provide immediate feedback on how effective your study of this material has been The test is best taken timed; allow minutes per subquestion (18 minutes per item set) This self-test is more exam-like than typical Concept Checkers or QBank questions A score less than 70% suggests that additional review of this topic is needed Use the following information for Questions through The CEO of Edgington Enterprises, Nicole Johnson, is conferring with her finance staff regarding the plans for capital projects during the upcoming year Like most firms, Edgington is capital constrained, and Johnson wants to make the most out of what is available During the meeting, several issues are raised While inflation has recently been low, some evidence is present in the commodities markets to suggest that it could become a concern during the life of even a medium-term project Johnson knows that inflation can have a significant impact on project selection The staff is asked how an increase in the rate of inflation might affect the capital budgeting process The following data pertains to two capital projects currently under consideration The cost of both projects is $30 million Net Present Value Life in Years Project Andover $35,000,000 Project Baltimore $25,000,000 Johnson informs the staff that it appears that the firm will have only $30 million available for investment during the upcoming year, so a choice will have to be made The finance staff estimates that the firm’s after-tax WACC is 7.5% In recent months, there has been a vigorous discussion in the financial press about the need to manage risk During this past November, Johnson attended a threeday seminar on risk management at the University of Chicago One of the key points made by seminar faculty was that reducing risk, even if there is a cost incurred to so, can increase firm value Johnson has asked the finance team how project risk is evaluated, and what type of risk is being measured during the capital budgeting process Another key point made during the seminar was that some projects are not well evaluated with traditional capital budgeting methods, such as NPV These are projects that require management to make critical decisions after the commitment to undertake the project has been made, and at least part of the project’s capital has been invested She wonders if the finance staff is familiar with the evaluation of such projects As the meeting was coming to a close, Marques Wilson, CFA, suggested to the staff that it may be useful to try to connect project performance with incremental changes in firm value To this end, he suggests that it may be useful to attempt to measure a project’s economic profits These can be used to infer how the project is affecting overall firm value Johnson charged the staff with giving consideration to the matters raised during the meeting before they reconvene at the end of the week After work, Johnson heads out to teach a CFA review course for her local society The topic for that evening coincides with her work in corporate finance, but focuses more on mergers and acquisitions She presents the class with the following case study: Toulouse Tempered Steel Industries (TTS) is weighing its strategic options following a wave of mergers in the industry across Europe and worldwide Pascal LaPage, managing director of TTS is wondering whether it makes sense for the firm to position itself as a standalone entity, or if the firm should be pursuing a merger/acquisition of another firm that would provide a good strategic fit Lyon Bank has been the firm’s primary lender for many years, and Alaine Clamon, CFA, from Lyon’s corporate finance department is due to meet with LaPage and other members of the firm’s finance group to discuss some strategic options Clamon begins his presentation with the underlying rationale for even considering a merger or acquisition as a strategic alternative Some reasons cited by Clamon that can be used to justify a merger are the pursuit of economies of scale, the elimination of operating inefficiencies, and diversification of the firm’s assets In general, the underlying rationale helps to determine what type of merger the firm will be undertaking LaPage asks his staff to keep these in mind as they seek suitable candidates for evaluation LaPage’s team has already identified two firms that might be good acquisition candidates for TTS One is Aragon Metals, and the other is Brittany Engineered Products A member of the staff asks Clamon about types of takeover defenses that might by employed by either Aragon or Brittany Clamon replies that these fall broadly into two categories: pre-offer and post-offer defenses As examples of pre-offer defenses, he describes staggered boards and supermajority voting provisions As an example of post-offer defenses, he describes the sale of significant assets He notes that, obviously, TTS must take care to account for the ramifications of the presence of any takeover defenses The three categories of cash flows that are typically associated with a capital project are: A financing, operating, and terminal year B initial investment outlay, operating, and financing C initial investment outlay, operating, and terminal year Suppose that there are two scenarios for projects Andover and Baltimore Under Scenario 1, the projects cannot be replicated, while under Scenario 2, the projects can be replicated Which project should be accepted? Scenario A Andover B Andover C Baltimore Scenario Baltimore Andover Andover When the value of a given project is contingent upon future decisions of management, the project can be best described as containing: A real options B flexibility options C timing options Suppose that the firm has a project code named Richmond The dollar amount of the investment in Richmond is $40 million Last year, Richmond’s EBIT was $6 million If the relevant tax rate is 35%, what was Richmond’s economic profit during the past year? A $900,000 B $3,900,000 C $2,100,000 With regard to the list of sensible motives for undertaking a merger cited by Clamon in Johnson’s case study, he is: A correct with regard to operating inefficiencies, and correct with regard to diversification B correct with regard to operating inefficiencies, but incorrect with regard to diversification C incorrect with regard to operating inefficiencies, but correct with regard to diversification With respect to the takeover defenses described by Clamon, he is: A incorrect with regard to the pre-offer defenses listed, and incorrect with regard to the post-offer defense listed B incorrect with regard to the pre-offer defenses listed, but correct with regard to the post-offer defense listed C correct with regard to the pre-offer

Scenario A Andover B Andover C Baltimore Scenario Baltimore Andover Andover If the projects cannot be replicated, then the project with the greatest NPV should be selected, and this is Andover If the projects can be replicated, we can evaluate the projects using either a least common lives approach or an equivalent annual annuity approach The least common multiple of the projects’ lives is 40 years, and the replacement chain NPVs are $75.25 million for Andover and $77.83 million for Baltimore The equivalent annual annuity values are $5.975 million for Andover and $6.179 million for Baltimore Both methods indicate that Baltimore should be chosen if the projects can be replicated When the value of a given project is contingent upon future decisions of management, the project can be best described as containing: A real options B flexibility options C timing options When a project’s value is a function of managerial decisions that must be made in periods following the investment, the project is said to contain real options The other answers are simply types of real options that may be present in a project Suppose that the firm has a project code named Richmond The dollar amount of the investment in Richmond is $40 million Last year, Richmond’s EBIT was $6 million If the relevant tax rate is 35%, what was Richmond’s economic profit during the past year? A $900,000 B $3,900,000 C $2,100,000 The economic profit is calculated as: EP = NOPAT – $WACC = $6(1 – 0.35) – $40(0.075) = $0.9 million With regard to the list of sensible motives for undertaking a merger cited by Clamon in Johnson’s case study, he is: A B C correct with regard to operating inefficiencies, and correct with regard to diversification correct with regard to operating inefficiencies, but incorrect with regard to diversification incorrect with regard to operating inefficiencies, but correct with regard to diversification Pursuing a merger where the underlying rationale is to eliminate operating inefficiencies is generally considered sensible A merger in pursuit of diversification is generally not seen as sensible, because it is ordinarily much more cost-effective for shareholders to diversify on their own With respect to the takeover defenses described by Clamon, he is: A incorrect with regard to the pre-offer defenses listed, and incorrect with regard to the post-offer defense listed B incorrect with regard to the pre-offer defenses listed, but correct with regard to the post-offer defense listed C correct with regard to the pre-offer
