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
