Explanation / Answer

1) Net Present Value (NPV) of acquiring Rural Markets = (No. of shares of Rural Markets X Price per share of Rural Markets) + Incremental value of acquisition - Cost of Acquiring

NPV = (2300 X $16.50) + $1800 - $39000

NPV = 37950 + $1800 - $39000

NPV = $39750 - $39000

NPV = $750 (Option A)

2) Price per share after Firm A's acquisition = [(No. of shares of firm A X Price per share of firm A) + (No. of shares of firm B X Price per share of firm B) + Incremental Cost of acquisiton - Acqusition cost] / No. of shares of firm A

Price per share after Firm A's acquisition = [(4300 X 32) + (2100 X 32) + 2200 - 69000] / 4300

Price per share after Firm A's acquisition = [137600 + 67200 +2200 - 69000] / 4300

Price per share after Firm A's acquisition = (138000) / 4300

Price per share after Firm A's acquisition = $ 32.09 (Option C)
