Document Summary
30. 1 for the merger to make economic sense, the acquirer must feel the acquisition will increase value by at least the amount of the premium over the market value, so: Minimum economic value = ,000,000 585,000,000 = ,000,000. Since neither company has any debt, using the pooling method, the asset value of the combined firm must equal the value of the equity, so: Assets from x = 26,000() = ,000 (book value) Assets from y = 20,000() = ,000 (market value) The purchase price of firm y is the number of shares outstanding times the sum of the current stock price per share plus the premium per share, so: Purchase price of y = 20,000( + 5) = ,000. And the total asset of the combined company will be: Total assets xy = total equity xy = ,000 + 380,000 + 100,000 = ,026,000.
