Harrison corporation is interested in acquiring van buren


Merger valuation

Harrison Corporation is interested in acquiring Van Buren Corporation. Assume that the risk-free rate of interest is 3% and the market risk premium is 7%.

Harrison estimates that if it acquires Van Buren, the year-end dividend will remain at $2.75 a share, but synergies will enable the dividend to grow at a constant rate of 9% a year (instead of the current 6%). Harrison also plans to increase the debt ratio of what would be its Van Buren subsidiary - the effect of this would be to raise Van Buren's beta to 1.2. What is the per-share value of Van Buren to Harrison Corporation? Round your answer to the nearest cent.
