Tarocco Inc. has offered $27mm for all of the common stock of Palmer's Corp. The current market capitalization of Palmer's Corp. as an independent company is $18mm. Assume the required return on the acquisitions is 11% and the synergy from the acquisition is a perpetuity. What is the minimum annual synergy that Tarocco feels it will gain from the acquisition?
Given the market capitalization = $18mm
Amount offered by Tarocco is $27mm
Given the required rate of return is 11%
It is pertinent to note that since Tarocco has offered $27mm it need to have synergy benefits of 27-18 = $9mm
Hence the present value of perpetuity will be $9mm
We know the formula for present value of perpetuity is A/i
A = Annual Return
i = Required rate of return
Hence 9 = A/0.11
A = 9*0.11 = 0.99
Hence the required annual return on investment is $0.99mm
