  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.)
