Is Sun Microsystems a good strategic fit for Oracle?
Use a discounted cash flow (DCF) analysis to place a value on Sun Microsystems:
-What rate of return should Oracle require on the acquisition?
-What base-case cash flows do you forecast?
-What is your estimate of terminal value?
-What is the enterprise value of Sun Microsystems? What is the equity value?
Identify the synergies and conduct a sensitivity analysis to estimate the effect of synergies on enterprise value.
If a competing bidder appears, how high a price should Oracle be willing to offer?
