    Sir in this question examiner didn’t take redundancy cost into account when calculating Post acquisition earning per share

    But what i did was,

    1st calculated tax rate as follow ($1.89m/$6.30m * 100)= 30%

    2nd Net cost of redundancy = $1m – ($1m*30%)
    = $1m – $0.30m (tax saving due to redundancy cost)
    = $0.70,m

    Now i have taken this into calculation of profit of combined company and calculated the Post acquisition earning per share. This gave me EPS of 0.1222

    What i want to know is that, Whether what i did was right or not???

    That is fine (and the examiner notes this possibility in his answer even though he didn’t do the actual calculation).
