    Dear Tutor

    why EPS of Tidded Co is remaining unchanged when implies different offers? is it because regardless which offer to be accepted, PAT and no of shares are still remain the same, only cash flow increased? but for L Co, EPS will be impact by cash offer or share for share

    thanks

    Tidded will not longer exist after it is taken over.

    The PE ratios are, as always, the market value divided by the current EPS. Before the takeover the EPS of Tidded was $1.42. Different takeover values (i.e. the amount being paid per share) give different PE ratios.
