    Dear Tutor,

    when calculating the PE ratio based on the Share for share exchange why do we not consider the value of shares of Tidded. For example if the 5 x 3 shares is offered the calculation of the SP per answer is 12,19×5/3. Why do we not take the value of Tidded shares. Based on the data available it could be calculated eps x P/E (128/90×15,9) = $22,61.
    Therefore 5 shares in Louieed at price $12,19 =60,95 for 3 shares in Tidded at price $22,61 = 67,83, therefore value per share is 128,78/8 =16,1.

    Could you please clarify it for me?

    Thank you.

    It is because the requirement asks for the PE ratio implied by the proposed offers.

    You seem to be assuming that they will end up with 5 shares in Louieed and 3 shares in Tidded. That is not the case – they will end up with 5 shares in Louieed instead of their 3 shares in Tidded.
