What takeover premium (measured as a percentage of current share price) would Diacono Ltd have to offer Midgley Ltd shareholders in order to split the gain equally between the two shareholder groups

Diacono Ltd Midgley Ltd Share price $20 $25 Number of shares on issue 30 million 12 million

As a final point, Coleman Ltd insist that they should have the right to walk away from the contract at the end of the first year if the price of copper is below the benchmark rate. In that case, you estimate that they would be able to sell their transport equipment for $1.5 million. The required rate of return for the project is 12% per annum. What is the value, today, of the option to walk away from the contract?
Coleman Ltd is a transport company that has been asked to assess an opportunity to provide services to a mining company, Aztec Ltd, that extracts copper in Western Australia. The 10-year contract provides that the cash flows paid to Coleman Ltd at the end of each of the 10 years of the contract are a function of the international price for copper during only the first year of the contract. Specifically, if the average price of copper in the first year is greater than a benchmark price, then the contract allows for Coleman Ltd to be paid a net cash flow of $1,000,000 per annum over the life of the contract. If the average price of copper in the first year of the contract is less than the benchmark price, then Coleman Ltd enjoys a net cash flow of only $250,000 per annum over the life of the contract.
You estimate that there is a 60% chance that the price of copper will exceed the benchmark rate in the first year of the contract. You also estimate that Coleman Ltd will have to invest $2 million initially to purchase the specialized transport equipment necessary to service the contract.
What is the maximum lease payment that the company should be willing to pay
You are an analyst employed to evaluate a financial lease relating to a piece of machinery. You are provided with the following information:

Cost of debt capital used to purchase the machine (before tax) 9% p.a.
The company accountant tells you the asset will be fully depreciated over its useful life and will have zero residual value. You are also told that the machine is integral to a project that management has already decided the company will proceed with.
