Hastings Corporation is interested in acquiring Vandell Corporation. Vandell has 1 million shares outstanding and a target capital structure consisting of 30% debt. Vandell's debt interest rate is 7.2%. Assume that the risk-free rate of interest is 4% and the market risk premium is 6%. Both Vandell and Hastings face a 30% tax rate. Vandell's beta is 1.10. Hastings estimates that if it acquires Vandell, interest payments will be $1,500,000 per year for 3 years. The free cash flows are supposed to be $2.5 million, $2.9 million, $3.4 million, and then $3.68 million in Years 1 through 4, respectively. Suppose Hastings will increase Vandell's level of debt at the end of Year 3 to $26.5 million so that the target capital structure will be 45% debt. Assume that with this higher level of debt the interest rate would be 8.5%, and assume that interest payments in Year 4 are based on the new debt level from the end of Year 3 and new interest rate. Free cash flows and tax shields are projected to grow at 4% after Year 4. Indicate the range of possible prices that Hastings could bid for each share of Vandell common stock in an acquisition.
