Q

If Company A has a P/E ratio of 20 and EPS of ₹15, what is the market price per share?

A

Market price = P/E × EPS = 20 × ₹15 = ₹300 per share. This P/E method is widely used to value acquirer and target companies in merger negotiations.

Q

If a target company has EPS of ₹10 and the acquirer offers an exchange ratio of 1.5, what is the effective price per share offered?

A

Effective price equals exchange ratio multiplied by acquirer share price.

Q

How is the Exchange Ratio calculated in a stock-for-stock merger?

A

Exchange Ratio = Offer Price per Target Share / Acquirer's Market Price per Share. For example, if Target share is offered at ₹200 and Acquirer trades at ₹400, the exchange ratio is 0.5 shares of acquirer per target share.

Q

What is the formula for calculating the merger premium percentage?

A

Merger premium % = (Offer price – Market price) / Market price × 100.

Q

What is the formula for calculating Earnings Per Share (EPS) post-merger?

A

Post-merger EPS = Combined Net Earnings / Total Number of Shares Outstanding after Merger. This figure determines whether the merger is accretive or dilutive for the acquiring company's shareholders.

Q

If the post-merger combined EPS is higher than the acquirer's pre-merger EPS, what is this situation called?

A

It is called EPS accretion or an accretive merger.

Q

Company A earns ₹50 lakh net profit with 10 lakh shares; Company B earns ₹20 lakh with 5 lakh shares — what is the combined EPS if A issues 4 lakh new shares to acquire B?

A

Combined earnings = ₹70 lakh; Total shares = 10 + 4 = 14 lakh; Post-merger EPS = ₹70/14 = ₹5 per share. If pre-merger EPS of A was ₹5, the merger is EPS-neutral.

Q

How is the intrinsic value per share calculated using the book value method?

A

Intrinsic value = (Total assets – Total liabilities) / Number of shares outstanding.
