- Company A is preparing a deal to acquire company B. One analyst estimated that the merger would produce 85 million dollars of annual cost savings, from operations, general and administrative expenses and marketing. These annual cost savings are expected to begin two years from now, and grow at 2.5% a year. In addition the analyst is assuming an after-tax integration cost of 0.1 billion, and taxes of 20%.
