We are going to utilize discount cash flow method to know the value of Torrington. After using the DCF method, we found that the weighted average cost of capital to be 10.6%. We supposed that the cost of debt would be 7.23 %( exhibit 9 bbb yield), the tax rate would be 40 % and also the coast of equity would be 11.6%. The risk premium will be 6%, the risk free rate would be 4.97% (from exhibit 9), and the beta would be 1.1(from exhibit 8). We calculate the debt to find weight of debt and weight of equity, the debt is 461.2(from exhibit 8) and for equity 1065.12 we multiply the number of shares ( 63,4) to share price ( 16.8), weight of equity would be 70%, and weight of debt would be 70%. After that, we calculated the wacc to be 10.6%. We have to calculate the NWC in order to know the free cash flow of the company, but the NWC is not given in the case.

800 million was the asking price of Torrington, but after we evaluated Torrington before and after synergies, the appropriate synergies price should go with 814.12 million. However, for Insgroll out to not agree below than without price 273.14 million. Timken should provide the price based on the anticipated synergy that will make the company notice from the acquisition. The price that Timken should offer is going to be between these amounts (814.12 – 273.14).The most appropriate payment for the two companies if they integrated the cash and stocks. This would lead Timken not have any problem in interest expense and credit rating. Moreover, the two deal (cash – stock) will give Insgroll desirable situation due to the shares of Timken is underestimated. We thought that the shares of Timken are underestimated because we saw the share price of peer Precision Castorats Crop 21.7., have same beta, same debt to equity ratio (from exhibit8). Therefore, once Timken accept the deal, it would expand in its size, rise in market share and customers. Moreover, the deal may rise the Timken’s share price and Insgroll may have an advantage of the cash deal and the stock deal. If we separate the cash deal and the stock deal, would affect the stock price to go down and it would cause credit rating for Timken’s to be more risky. So, the optimal option to go with is the integration between stock and cash

    3 The cost of Equity Capital represents the expected return of equity investors. The WACC is measured by taking the weight of debt outstanding and multiplying it by the cost of debt and the tax shield, then adding to that the weight of equity and multiplying that by the cost of equity, as shown in the following equation: Equation 1: [D/V*(Rd)*(1-T)+E/B*(Rd)] As the WACC holds true, the increased weight in the lower cost of debt along with the additional tax shield and the decrease in weight in the higher cost of equity will result in a decrease in the overall cost of equity to the firm. In theory the more debt you add to the capital structure the lower your WACC will be Cost of Equity: Using the formula given, cost of equity can be calculated as:…
