Question 4 - #8758
Part 1) Your answer: B was incorrect. The correct answer was A) $32.0 million. Add the historical cost of Premium's PP&E to the fair market value of Discount's PP&E = $30 million + $2 million = $32 million.
Part 2) Your answer: B was incorrect. The correct answer was C) $24.0 million. Total equity equals the original equity of Premium Company plus the market value of equity that was issued to purchase Discount Company = $20 million + $4 million = $24 million.
Part 3) Your answer: B was incorrect. The correct answer was D) $4.00 per share and $4.44 per share. Book value per share prior to the acquisition is $20 million of equity divided by 5 million shares outstanding. Immediately following the acquisition, book value of equity rises to $24 million and the number of common shares outstanding is 5.4 million. Hence, book value per share is $24 million / 5.4 million = $4.44 per share.
Part 4) Your answer: B was incorrect. The correct answer was A) 64.2%. Use the book value of debt for Premium Company and the market value of debt for Discount Company in the computations. The book value of equity is the prior-to-acquisition book value for Premium plus the $4 million of newly issued equity. Hence, the ratio is $15.4 million / $24 million = 0.6416 or 64.2%.
Part 5) Your answer: B was correct! Goodwill is computed as: Purchase price of $4 million minus the FMV of Discount's net assets of $1.9 million = $2.1 million. The FMV of Discount's assets is current assets of $500,000 plus the FMV of PP&E of $2 million = $2.5 million. The FMV of liabilities is current liabilities of $200,000 plus the FMV of the debt of $400,000 = $0.6 million. The FMV of Discount's net assets = $2.5 million - $0.6 million = $1.9 million. Part 6) Your answer: B was correct! Premium's current ratio would increase from 2.000 to 2.19. Before Acquisition: ($10M / $5M) = 2.00 After Acquisition: ($10M + 500,000) / ($5M + $200,000) = 2.019 |
