Merger Valuation (PLEASE NOTE THAT NUMBERS ARE DIFFERENT THAN IN TEXTBOOK)

Hastings Corporation is interested in acquiring Vandell Corporation. Vandell has 1 million shares outstanding and a target capital structure consisting of 30% debt. Vandell's debt interest rate is 7.2%. Assume that the risk-free rate of interest is 7% and the market risk premium is 6%. Both Vandell and Hastings face a 35% tax rate.

.

Hastings estimates that if it acquires Vandell, interest payments will be $1,500,000 per year for 3 years after which the current target capital structure of 30% debt will be maintained. Interest in the fourth year will be $1.438 million after which interest and the tax shield will grow at 6%. Synergies will cause the free cash flows to be $2.4 million, $2.7 million, $3.4 million, and then $3.69 million in Years 1 through 4, respectively, after which the free cash flows will grow at a 6% rate. What is the unlevered value of Vandell? Vandell's beta is 1.60. Enter your answer in millions. For example, an answer of $1.2 million should be entered as 1.2, not 1,200,000. Round your answer to two decimal places. Do not round intermediate calculations.
