Answer:

(a) The stock price of Harrods be after the acquisition is £ 31.45

(b) The exchange ratio between the two stocks would be 0.8550

Explanation:

Harrods PLC has a market value of £139 million and 5 million shares outstanding.

Selfridge Department Store has a market value of £41 million and 2 million shares outstanding.

a)  If Harrods offers 1.2 million shares of its stock in exchange for the 2 million shares of Selfridge

Shares outstanding = 5 + 1.2 = 6.2 million

Stock price = £ 195 million ÷ 6.2 million = £ 31.45

b)  alpha × 195 = 51

alpha = £51  million ÷ £195 million

= 26.15%

(195 ÷ ( 5 +X ) ) × X = 51

51 (5+X) = 195X

255 + 51X = 195X

144X = 255

X = 1.77 million shares

Exchange ratio would be: 1.77 ÷ 2

= 0.8550

andriy [413]

Answer:

Letter b is correct. <u>Seasonal.</u>

Explanation:

 Seasonal unemployment occurs when there are unemployed people at certain times of the year when the demand for a good or service is less than at other times.

This is a situation that occurs more frequently in tourist areas, such as the one mentioned in the question above, due to the fact that there is a greater demand for work in the high tourist season months.

The ideal is for workers who suffer from seasonal unemployment to seek economic adjustment in the low season months and diversify their activities during this period, to find other activities that guarantee the maintenance of income. It is also important for the government to create public employment policies so that this problem does not happen.

Vesna [10]

Answer: E. 18,000

Explanation:

Wesley Corporation has 80,000 shares of common stock authorized. This the total amount of common stock that is available for sale by the company.

Only 50,000 shares of common stock were issued and 12,000 shares of common stock as held as treasury stock.

Equipment costing $b0000 was destroyed when it caught on fire. At the date of the fire, the accumulated depreciation on the equi
Musya8 [376]

Answer: c. gain on disposal of $140000.

Explanation:

The cost of the equipment is $260,000.

When the fire occurred, the book value of the equipment was:

= Cost of equipment - Accumulated depreciation

= 260,000 - 100,000

= $160,000

A check of $300,000 was received from insurance. The gain on disposal is:

= Replacement cost - book value

= 300,000 - 160,000

= $140,000

This amount will be credited to the Gain on Disposal account because an increase is credited.
