Hastings Corporation is interested in acquiring Vandell Corporation. Vandell currently has 1 million shares outstanding and a target capital structure consisting of 30% debt; its current beta is 1.60 (i.e., based on its target capital structure).Vandell's debt interest rate is 7.8%. Assume that the risk-free rate of interest is 3% and the market risk premium is 8%. Both Vandell and Hastings face a 35% tax rate.Hastings Corporation estimates that if it acquires Vandell Corporation, synergies will cause Vandell's free cash flows to be $2.5 million, $3.0 million, $3.5 million, and $3.85 million at Years 1 through 4, respectively, after which the free cashflows will grow at a constant 5% rate. Hastings plans to assume Vandell's $10.31 million in debt (which has a 7.8% interest rate) and raise additional debt financing at the time of the acquisition. Hastings estimates that interest payments willbe $1.5 million each year for Years 1, 2, and 3. After Year 3, a target capital structure of 30% debt will be maintained. Interest at Year 4 will be $1.484 million, after which the interest and the tax shield will grow at 5%.a. What is Vandell's pre-acquisition levered cost of equity? What is its unlevered cost of equity? Do not round intermediate calculations. Round your answers to two decimal places.Pre-acquisition levered cost of equity:Unlevered cost of equity:15.8 %%b. What is the intrinsic unlevered value of operations at t = 0 (assuming the synergies are realized)? Do not round intermediate calculations. Round your answer to the nearest cent.$c. What is the value of the tax shields at t = 0? Do not round intermediate calculations. Enter your answer in millions. For example, an answer of $1.23 million should be entered as 1.23, not 1,230,000. Round your answer to twodecimal places.milliond. What is the total intrinsic value of operations at t = 0? What is the intrinsic value of Vandell's equity to Hastings? What is Vandell's intrinsic stock price per share? Do not round intermediate calculations. Enter your answers for thevalue of operations and the equity value to acquirer in millions. For example, an answer of $1.23 million should be entered as 1.23, not 1,230,000.

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 7.6%. Assume that the risk-free rate of interest is 6% and the market risk premium is 4%. Both Vandell and Hastings face a 30% tax rate. Vandell's beta is 1.35. Hastings estimates that if it acquires Vandell, interest payments will be $1,600,000 per year for 3 years. The free cash flows are supposed to be $2.3 million, $2.8 million, $3.3 million, and then $3.70 million in Years 1 through 4, respectively. Suppose Hastings will increase Vandell's level of debt at the end of Year 3 to $34.2 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…
