Merger AnalysisMarston Marble Corporation is considering a merger with the Conroy Concrete Company. Conroy is a publicly traded company, and its beta is 1.20. Conroy has been barely profitable, so it has paid an average of only 20% in taxes during the last several years. In addition, it uses little debt, its target ratio is just 25%, with the cost of debt 9%.If the acquisition were made, Marston would operate Conroy as a separate, wholly owned subsidiary. Marston would pay taxes on a consolidated basis, and the tax rate would therefore increase to 40%. Marston also would increase the debt capitalization in the Conroy subsidiary to wd = 35%, for a total of $23.82 million in debt by the end of Year 4, and pay 10.5% on the debt. Marston’s acquisition department estimates that Conroy, if acquired, would generate the following free cash flows and interest expenses (in millions of dollars) in Years 1-5:YearFree Cash FlowsInterest Expense1$1.30$1.22 1.50 1.73 1.75 2.84 2.00 2.15 2.12? In Year 5 Conroy’s interest expense would be based on its beginning-of-year (that is, the end-of-Year-4) debt, and in subsequent years both interest expense and free cash flows are projected to grow at a rate of 8%.These cash flows include all acquisition effects. Marston’s cost of equity is 8.0%, its beta is 1.0, and its cost of debt is 8.5%. The risk-free rate is 5%, and the market risk premium is 3.0%.a.What is the value of Conroy’s unlevered operations?
