    Hi,

    In the answer of 2011 June 1st question iii section says than
    iii)The current value of Pursuit Co is $140,000,000, of which the market value of equity and debt are $70,000,000 each. The
    value of the combined company before paying Fodder Co shareholders is approximately $189,169,000, and if the capital
    structure is maintained, the market values of debt and equity will be approximately $94,584,500 each. This is an increase
    of approximately $24,584,500 in the debt capacity.
    The amount payable for Fodder Co’s debt obligations and to the shareholders including the premium is approximately
    $49,116,500 [4,009 + 36,086 x 1·25]. If $24,584,500 is paid using the extra debt capacity and $20,000,000 using
    cash reserves, an additional amount of approximately $4,532,000 will need to be raised. Hence, if only debt finance and
    cash reserves are used, the capital structure cannot be maintained

    Bu my understanding is that when Pursuit co aquire Fodder co it pays 20mln out of it is cash so asset of company incease by 29 mln (49 in 20 out).

    DRassets 49
    CR cash 20
    CR loan 29

    net effect to assets + 29

    So value of new company become 189 (140+29) and debt capacity increase by 14,5 mln (189/2-70) so Pursuit co need borrow additional 14.5 mln (29-14,5) to addition its debt capacity

    I have solved this part but examiner answer different way. can you please comment where is my mistake?

    Thank you

    The value of the combined company is based on the combined cash flows and will be the total value regardless of how it is paid for.

    The double entries are not relevant here because the value is not necessarily what the full value would appear as in the Statement of financial position – it is the full market value.
