Liedtke’s base case projections for a potential acquisition of Mercury Athletic‚ we have concluded that this is a positive net present value project‚ and that AGI should proceed with the acquisition. Under Mr. Liedtke’s operating assumptions‚ we calculate the value of Mercury’s discounted cash flows to be $624.446 million‚ and the acquisition price to be $156.643 million‚ yielding a net present value of $467‚804 for AGI. Our calculations indicate that this project becomes even more attractive financially
