A sporting goods manufacturer has decided to expand into a related business. Management estimates that to build and staff a facility of the desired size and to attain capacity operations would cost $450 million in present value terms. Alternatively, the company could acquire an existing firm or division with the desired capacity. One such opportunity is the division of another company. The book value of the division's assets is $250 million, and its earnings before interest and tax are presently $50 million.

These companies have book value debt-to-asset ratios averaging 40 percent with an average interest rate of 10 percent.
