Explanation / Answer

No of new shares issued by Pit to the jolie shareholders=84000/3
= 28000 shares
Total no of shares of pit after merger:
Existing stock of Pit = 320000
No of new shares issued to joli by pit = 28000
Total No of shares = 348000 shares
Total earnings after merger =1,90,000+9,50,000
= $ 11,40,000
Earning per share after merger = 11,40,000/348000
=$ 3.276 per share

A.2)Calculation of Weighted Average PE ratio:

Weighted average PE ratio= 29 times

95.004

Market value of shares given to Jolie stockholders= 95*28000
=26,60,000
Pre merger marketvalue =26,60,000
There are no merger gains

Total Market Value Before Merger=2660000+3040000
=3,30,60,000
Total market value After merger =3,30,60,000
There are no merger gains
