4y ago#1We never subtract interest in arriving at the free cash flow because discounting it at the WACC is accounting for the interest. To subtract it from the free cash flow would be accounting for it twice. (We only subtract the interest if we are getting the free cash flow to equity.)
The PE ratio is applied to the total earnings of the combined company. The synergy benefit is extra earnings.
