Rearden Metal has earnings per share of $2. It has 10 million shares outstanding and is trading at $20 per share. Rearden Metal

is thinking of buying Associated Steel, which has earnings per share of $1.25, 4 million shares outstanding, and a price per share of $15. Rearden Metal will pay for Associated Steel by issuing new shares. There are no expected synergies from the transaction. If Rearden offers an exchange ratio such that, at current pre-announcement share prices for both firms, the offer represents a 20% premium to buy Associated Steel, then the price per share of the Rearden immediately after the announcement will be closest to:

Answer: $19.12

Explanation:

The price per share of the Rearden immediately after the announcement will be calculated as the addition of the current prices for the companies divided by the total number of shares after merger. This will be:

= (20 × 10) + (15 × 4) / (10 + 3.6)

= (200 + 60) / 13.6

= 260 / 13.6

= 19.12

The price per share is $19.12

guajiro [1.7K]

Answer:

a. $6

b.  $3204000

Explanation:

Given:

  • Product X is 534,000 units
  • cost for materials $1,441,800
  • cost for labour: $1,762,200

(a) a standard cost

As we know standard cost is the cost of producing 1 unit and is recorded in a standard cost card. However, the cost of labor, materials and overhead are used to make a single unit, so

standard cost = unit variable cost =  the total cost / the total number of unit.

In this situation, the overheading cost is not gven, so the total cost:

= The cost of labor + materials

= $1,441,800 + $1,762,200

= $3204000

=> standard cost  = $3204000  / 534,000 = $6

(b) a budgeted cost represents the total costs

The total number of units * standard cost

= 534,000 * 6

=   $3204000
