In this step we add to our “Amortization of Identifiable Intangibles” section on our “GAAP” tab and add a section called “Depreciation of Fixed Asset Write-Up”. Since we have already calculated the write-up for fixed and identifiable intangible assets, we can simply divide by the number of years over which we will depreciate and amortize these assets to yield the annual post-transaction depreciation/amortization expense. We take this a step further by additionally computing the after-tax depreciation/amortization expenses.
