Consider the following premerger information about a bidding firm (Firm B) and a target firm (Firm T). Assume that both firms have no debt outstanding.
Firm B | Firm T | |||||
Shares outstanding | 5,000 | 1,600 | ||||
Price per share | $ | 51 | $ | 20 | ||
Firm B has estimated that the value of the synergistic benefits from acquiring Firm T is $9,200. Firm T can be acquired for $22 per share in cash or by exchange of stock wherein B offers one of its shares for every two of T's shares.
At what exchange ratio of B shares to T shares would the shareholders in T be indifferent between the two offers? (Do not round intermediate calculations and round your answer to 4 decimal places, e.g., 32.1616.)
