As treasurer of Leisure Products, Inc., you are investigating the possible acquisition of Plastitoys. You have the following basic data:

Explanation / Answer

Dear Student,

Use Gordons Growth Model formula for plastitoys for valuation

2.8/(r-0.06)=40

r=13%

Under New management, the value of the combination, would be the value of Leisure products (X) before merger + the value of Plastitoys(Y) after the merger

PV(XY)=(1,200,000*110)+(8,00,000(2.8/(0.13-0.08)))=$1,76,800,000

Now Gain =PV(XY)-[PV(x)+pv(y)]

1,76,800,000-1,32,000,000-32,000,000...................working for PV(y)=(800,000*40)

Gain from acquition =$12,800,000

PArt B

Cash Acquition

Value paid per share=$45

therefore

Cost=Cash Paid-PV(Y)

Cost = (800,000*45)-3,20,00,000

Cost of Acquition =36,000,000-32,000,000

Cost=$4,000,000

Part C

Acquition by equity method

As Acquition is planned with stock, take merger effect into consideration,after merger there will be (1,200,000+(800,000/2)=1,600,000 shares

Value Post merger per share=1,76,800,000/1,600,000=110.50

therefore

Cost =((400,000*110.5)-(800,000*40))

=(44,200,000-32,000,000)

Cost of Acquition =$12,200,000
