    Hi Sir,

    part(a) option two
    Calculation regarding the exchange of 3 shares for 2 shares is confusing
    is there any alternative solution for that i can come up with
    please how can we go with any other easy approach for that if any ??
    i can rote this technique but in exam if i find something else will find difficulty for me

    You will have to say which bit you find confusing.

    There are currently 500,000/0.4 = 1,250,000 shares in Dentro.

    If they are getting 3 shares for every 2 shares, then they will get 1,250,000 x 3/2 = 1,875,000 shares in Sigra.

    There is no alternative solution!!

    confusion part is

    gain per dentro co share = (3 * 3.644) – (2 * 4.50)/2 = $0.966

    if they already arrived at 1,875,000 shares why mutliply combined share price by 3 and then dentro co share price by 2 and deducting one from another.

    Because they end up with 3 shares in Sigra worth 3.644 each for every 2 shares they used to hold in Dentro which were worth 4.50 each.
