Determining Consideration Transferred: Allfoods Acquired Baked Beans

For calculations of the acquisition price, the P/E is taken to be 8.6. The acquisition price is calculated by multiplying this value with the historical average of net income. Thus, the acquisition price comes out to be $186,215,800, which is $189,186,673 less than the enterprise value.

Statement of Purpose: The purpose of this analysis is to determine if Reynolds Metals (“Reynolds”) should accept Nestlé’s offer of $61 million for its holdings of Eskimo Pie. The crux of the issue is whether or not the projected income from a proposed Initial Public Offering (“IPO”) by Wheat First Securities (“Wheat First”) is reasonable and will actually result in proceeds between $61 and $68 million to Reynolds, the Reynolds family and the Reynolds foundation, as projected. To get at this question, this paper will seek to value Eskimo Pie as a stand-alone company, if the IPO option is selected.

Corn: There is no reliable and realizable market value or related information about corn, so there is no way for us to predict the Market Value for Corn. That is, we are “inability to measure fair value for corn reliably”. According to 30th paragraph of IAS 41, In the case of “inability to measure fair value reliably”, biological asset

Explain what shareholders would receive in exchange for (a) old common shares, (b) old class B shares, and (c) old shares held in the employee saving plan.

Analysts estimate that the $80 million in cost saving could be realized after the acquisition , however certain other costs associated with the integration approximately $130 million would occur .Hence, I take these cost savings and integration costs into consideration for the with-synergies valuation. Incorporating the effects of 80million cost savings for the merged firm (to be achieved by end of 2007 and assumed to incur in perpetuity then on) and 130 million integration costs (half of this accounted at the beginning years) in the estimated EBITs for Torrington, a new horizon value is estimated, the new FCF is discounted by acquiring company’s WACC 8.39%. Torrington company’s with- synergies valuation $1386.38 million exceeds the value as a stand-alone entity by approximately $286 million. sheet2: With-synergies Valuation of Torrington-DCF Method.

What are the relevant cash flows for General Foods to use in evaluating the Super project? In particular, how should management deal with issues such as:

To facilitate the valuation aspect of the analysis, free-cash-flow forecasts are provided in case Exhibit 10 for Hershey as a stand-alone entity. Most students should find it easy to calculate a value for Hershey using the discounted-cash-flow (DCF) method and industry-comparable multiples, which also are provided. As with any valuation case, students must make judgments about the appropriate capital structure, the weighted average cost of capital (WACC), sales growth, and the terminal growth rate. Once students have explored the value drivers for Hershey though sensitivity analysis, they may then evaluate the bids from both Nestlé S.A.–Cadbury Schweppes PLC (NCS) and the Wm. Wrigley Jr. Company. They will want to examine whether the bids are fair from the perspective of HFC shareholders and whether the synergies assumed by the bidders in their offer prices are reasonable.

The previous 959.6m Amoco shares will convert into 633.336m shares of BP ADS equivalent, with the previous 965.6m ADS shares, BP shareholders will take part 60% of the new company, still have majority control over the firm. In this deal, we paid for about 20% premium, which is quite standard and normal. Because synergies from revenue and chemical divisions’ combination are not estimated nor not expected to bring benefit, the main synergy from the merge is 2 billion dollars saving of pretax operating cost. The value we create for our shareholders is $14,840.06 million (Amoco stand-alone value $46,430 million+ synergy $2 billion – price paid for Amoco $33,538.94). But this number is quite sensitive to a lot of factors, such as future energy demand, oil and gas price, industry growth potentials, ultimately affecting Amoco’s stand-alone and synergy valuation.

This finance simulation is based on the simulation for the merger & acquisition deal to value the M&A activity that occurs in 2003 between Blackstone and Celanese. This case study is meant to provide the deal details from the point of view of the Blackstone.

2. Is the price of $319 million reasonable for the Monticello Mill and Box Plants based on a cash-flow analysis? Assume cash flows consistent with Table A, Table B and Exhibit 3, a discount rate of 13%, and a terminal value equal to the book value of assets in1993.

The analysis started with A-1 Holdings’ ability to buy all the rest 95 percent of National Brands. This 95 percent equaled 107,958,000 shares outstanding, and at the offer of $55 per share, A-1 Holdings would need the equivalent of $5,937,690,000 in cash to be able to take over National Brands.
