Guide Questions:
1 If you were Mr Vincent, EVP of Monmouth Inc, would you try to gain control of Robertson Tool in May 2003?
2 Why is Simmons eager to sell its Robertson position to Monmouth for $50 per share? What are the concerns of and alternatives
for each of the other groups of Robertson shareholders?
3 What is WACC of Robertson Tool using CAPM? Carefully consider which equity value you will use:
- Current
- Prospective with synergy values
- Required value to get transaction done (see question 7)
4 What is maximum price Monmouth can afford to pay using DCF? Use company forecast on Exhhibit 4. Run the valuation
as of the start of 2003. Is this a reasonable forecast? Why or why not? If not, what changes would you make?
5 For comparison, run a DCF of Robertson using sales growth on Exhibit 4 but without synergies/margin improvements.
Compare this value to #3 above.
6 What is maximum price Monmouth should pay based on market multiples of EBIAT? Use 2002 numbers for
Robertson. Would your answers change if you modify the 2002 Robertson EBIAT based on margin improvements
anticipated by Monmouth?
7 What offer would you make to gain the support of the Robertson family and the great majority of the stockholders?
Will you offer to give away all the expected synergy values/margin improvements, why or why not?

Question 1 Yes, due to extensive distribution and the ability to be the market leader by generating 6 - 7% sales growth per year.
