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