Carlson Airlines Case 32
Merger Analysis and Cash Flow
Purpose: The case demonstrates the use of capital budgeting techniques in a merger analysis. There are
a number of tax implications the student must consider. The student will also evaluate the impact of
terminal value on the analysis. This factor is frequently omitted in cases of this nature. The importance
of the growth rate is demonstrated as are the overall dimensions of the merger analysis.
Relation to Text: The case should follow Chapter 20.
Complexity: The case is of moderate difficulty and should require 45 minutes.
