    Fdave plans to acquire Maf in the same business sector, and will pay cash for shares of the company. The cash would be raised by Fdave through a 2 for 5 rights issue at 15% discount to its current share price.
    The purchase price of the 1.6m issued shares of Maf would be equal to the rights issue funds raised, less issue costs of $425,000.
    EPS of Maf at the time of acquisition would be 52.8c per share.
    Fdave maintains a payout ratio of 60% per year and EPS is currently 72c per share. Dividend growth of 6% per year is expected for the foreseeable future and the company’s cost of equity is 15% per year. Number of shares in issue= 4m $1 each.

    a) Using P/E ratio methd, calculate the share price and market capitalisation of Maf before the acquisition,
    b) Calculate the share price after the acquisition

    Please help. Thank You!

    I think this is what you do:

    P/E ratio method:
    Share price of Fdave
    P0 = D0(1+g)/ke-g
    = 0.72(1.06)/(0.15-0.06)
    = 8.48
    P/E = 8.48/0.72
    = 11.78

    Multiply this PE ratio by Maf’s EPS
    =11.78*0.528
    Maf share price =6.22

    Total Maf shares 1.6m
    Market cap of Maf = 9,952,000

    Part b

    Calculate TERP:

    5 shares at 6.22 (as above) = 31.1
    2 shares at 6.22*(1-0.15)= 5.29 =10.58
    7 shares =41.68
    1 share =5.95

    Do should actually be 0.72 x payout ratio of 60% = 0.432 and this should be carried down the workings
