Sir, sorry to ask this.
But can i know why are we using value per share of Louieed Co to calculate the value per share of Tidded Co for the proposed offer?
November 26, 2020 at 9:13 pm #596606This is for part (b) PE ratio, (ie Louieed CO value per share of $12.19)
November 27, 2020 at 2:43 am #596619)Sir, in this question part (c), can we use gearing ratio = debt / equity rather that the suggested answer in which gearing ratio is calculated as debt/(debt + equity)?
November 27, 2020 at 9:01 am #596643Certainly (and the discussion round it will remain the same) 🙂
November 27, 2020 at 12:48 pm #596713Sir..you didn’t reply my question yet.. 🙂
November 27, 2020 at 5:22 pm #596745Sorry – it was because of the other question that appeared 🙁
It is because it is because Louieed is offering new shares and so the PE implied by the new issue is calculated basis on the current share price. (Obviously what actually happens depends on whether or not the offer is accepted, but the question asks what PE is implied by the offer).
