Answer:
$1.30
Explanation:
The valuation of TJ's = price per share * number of shares in issue
= $16.70 * 2,500 shares = $41,750.
Corner Grocery offer for TJ's of $45,000, and obviously a premium over the market value of TJ's at $41,750.
The price per share of Corner Grocery's offer = [tex]\frac{45,000}{2,500}[/tex] = $18 per share.
That is, offer value divided by the number of shares to be acquired.
Therefore, merger premium per share = offer price, less market price
= $18 - $16.70.
= $1.30
