Pact acquired 80% of the equity shares of Sact on 1 July 2014, paying $3.00 for each share acquired. This represented a premium of 20% over the market price of Sact’s shares at that date. What would be the market price of Sact’s shares at acquisition?
Answer : 3.00-(3.00*20/120)=$2.5
Why do we do 20/120??? Is it not 3.00-(3*20/100)=$2.4?
Its a small calculation but I always get confused which is the right one
