Problem 30.3 12 points
Consider the following premerger information about Firm A and Firm B:
Assume that Firm A acquires Firm B via an exchange of stock at a price of $24 for each share of
B's stock. Both A and B have no debt outstanding.
a.
What will the earnings per share, EPS, of firm A be after the merger? 2 points
Total Cost of B = $24 * 280 = $6720
Cost of B in A Stock = $6720 / 45 = 149.33 shares
Shares Outstanding After Merger = 149.33 + 590 = 739.33
Total Earnings After Merger = $940 + $630 = $1570
EPS after Merger = $1570 / 739.33 =
$2.12
b.
What will firm A ’s price per share be after the merger if the price–earnings ratio does not
change? 3 points.
If the
price–earnings ratio remains at 28.24, then firm A ’s price per share will be $59.98.
P/E ratio = 28.24
EPS = 1570/739.33 = 2.12
Price per Share = 28.24*2.12 = $ 59.98
c.
i.
If there are no synergy gains, what will the share price of A be after the merger? 3
points
Firm value with no synergy gains = $26,550 + $5,600 = $32,150
Price per share of A after merger = $32,150/739.33 = $43.49
ii.
If there are no synergy gains, what will the price–earnings ratio be? 2 points
P/E ratio = $43.49 / $2.12 = 20.48
iii.
What does your answer for the share price tell you about the amount A bid for B ?
Was it too high? Too low? Explain. 2 points
Firm A is bidding a premium of 20% ((24-20)/20). Assuming there are no synergy
gains, the shareholders of the acquiring firm are losing (share price falls from $45 to
$43.49). Therefore, the bid is too high.
