    I got WACC 8.08% which I rounded down to 8%
    Did you get a positive gain for shareholders of bidding company? For me it was a high negative number I don’t know if there was something wrong in the question. The 6% profit margin on revenue seemed suspiciously low.
    Sale value for the Tech Part was 5,504 million and Present value of Cash flows to firm was around 18,000 million, then I used the Debt Equity proportions at market value to calculate Value of Equity post acquisition which came out to be less than the whole bid amount already so I got a negative value there and from that were supposed to deduct the pre-acquisition value of the bidding company which would only make the negative number bigger.

    Did anyone else get negative gain/ loss for shareholders in the first question?
    Sale value for the Tech Part was 5,504 million and Present value of Cash flows to firm was around 18,000 million, then I used the Debt Equity proportions at market value to calculate Value of Equity post acquisition which came out to be less than the whole bid amount already so I got a negative value there and from that were supposed to deduct the pre-acquisition value of the bidding company which would only make the negative number bigger.
    Am I wrong somewhere? Couldn’t frame the report based on this
