CDF Inc. is contemplating the acquisition of Pogo Company. The values of the two companies as separate entities are $20 million

S_A_V [24]

Answer: See explanation

Explanation:

a. What is the gain from merger?

This will be calculated by dividing the cost savings by the opportunity cost of capital. This will be:

= $500,000 / 10%

= $500,000 / 0.1

= $5,000,000

= $5 million

b. What is the cost of the cash offer?

This will be the difference between the cash cash paid and the value of the firm acquired which will be:

= $14 million - $10 million

= $4 million

c. What is the cost of the sock alternative?

First, we calculate the value of the merged company which will be:

= $20 million + $10 million + $5 million

= $35 million

Then, cost of stock alternative will be:

= (35 million x 55%) – $10 million

= ($35 million × 0.55) - $10 million

= $19.25 million - $10 million

= $9.25 million

d. What is the NPV of the acquisition under the cash offer?

This will be:

= $5 million - $4 million

= $1 million

e. What is the NPV under the stock offer?

This will be:

= $5 million - $9.25 million

= -$4.25 million

In an economy open to international trade ________.

Serjik [45]

Answer: D) saving equals investment as long as NX = 0

Explanation:

The last option was incomplete as it should have said ...NX = 0.

The Income/GDP of a country that is open to international trade is calculated as follows:

Income = Consumption + Investment + Government spending + Net exports

Y = C + I + G + NX

If NX = 0 then the formula becomes:

Y = C + I + G

Investment in this scenario is therefore:

I = Y - C - G

This is the same as savings as savings is calculated by subtracting consumption and government spending from the total income. This is because government spending is derived from taxes so the cash that people get to save is their income less than their taxes and consumption expenses.

S = Y - C - G = Y

= Ending inventory balance - FOB destination goods purchased - goods being held on consignment

= $215,500 - $44,100 - $15,100

= $156,300

The other items would not be adjusted because the other items are not included in the ending inventory so they are not being considered in the computation part.
