Use the following data to calculate the EPS of the combined firm following the merger. Topeka Industries has EPS of $4.00, a market price of $90 per share, and 500,000 shares outstanding. Omaha Company has EPS of $2.00, a market price of $25, and 500,000 shares outstanding. If Topeka acquires Omaha in an all-stock transaction, what is the EPS of the combined company?
A) $4.70.
B) $3.00.
C) $3.57.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The total value of Omaha is $25 × 500,000 = $12,500,000. Topeka will need to issue 12,500,000 / 90 = 138,889 new shares to acquire Omaha. The combined firm will have total earnings of ($4 × 500,000) + ($2 × 500,000) = $3,000,000. The combined firm will have EPS = $3,000,000 / (138,889 + 500,000) = $4.70. Note that the pre-merger P/E ratio for Topeka was 90 / 4 = 22.5, vs. 25 / 2 = 12.5 for Omaha. |
