Answer:

(a) The stock price of Harrods be after the acquisition is £ 31.45

(b) The exchange ratio between the two stocks would be 0.8550

Explanation:

Harrods PLC has a market value of £139 million and 5 million shares outstanding.

Selfridge Department Store has a market value of £41 million and 2 million shares outstanding.

a)  If Harrods offers 1.2 million shares of its stock in exchange for the 2 million shares of Selfridge

Shares outstanding = 5 + 1.2 = 6.2 million

Stock price = £ 195 million ÷ 6.2 million = £ 31.45

b)  alpha × 195 = 51

alpha = £51  million ÷ £195 million

= 26.15%

(195 ÷ ( 5 +X ) ) × X = 51

51 (5+X) = 195X

255 + 51X = 195X

144X = 255

X = 1.77 million shares

Exchange ratio would be: 1.77 ÷ 2

= 0.8550

photoshop1234 [79]

Answer:

The correct answer is letter "B": A decrease in a deferred tax asset.

Explanation:

A Deferred Tax Asset is an asset on a balance sheet of a business that can be used to lower taxable income. It is the opposite of deferred tax liability that reflects something that will increase income taxes. Both are listed under current assets on the Balance Sheet.

The deferred tax asset will be generated when recorded income taxes owed are higher than the income taxes paid to the Government.

Thus, <em>a decrease in deferred tax is recorded when a company has collected revenue in advance for a good not delivered or a service not rendered yet.</em>

S_A_V [24]

Answer:

Net income = $76,000

Earning per share (EPS):

Income from continuing operations per share = $4.40 per share

Loss from discontinued operations per share = -$3.64 per share

Net Income per share = $0.76 per share

Explanation:

Note: See the attached excel file for the income statement.

Also Note: Two years (2016 and 2018) were mistakenly mentioned in the question instead of just one of them. I therefore picked 2016 to prepare the income statement.

In the attached excel file, the earning per share (EPS) is calculated as follows:

Number of shares outstanding = 100,000 shares

Income from continuing operations per share  = Income from continuing operations / Number of shares outstanding = $440,000 / 100,000 = $4.40 per share

Loss from discontinued operations per share = Loss from discontinued operations / Number of shares outstanding = -$364,000 / 100,000 = -$3.64 per share

Net Income per share = Net Income / Number of shares outstanding = $76,000 / 100,000 = $0.76 per share

nordsb [41]

The correct answer is D.

If you don't include something in the subject line of an email the recipient might delete your message or send it to the spam folder. The whole purpose of a subject line is to include a compelling reason for the recipient to open the email and read it. If there is nothing in the subject line then the recipient will have no reason to open the email and might just automatically delete it of forward it to spam.
