Ignore transaction costs and fees. Assume that firms' debt and equity are fairly priced, and that each firms' debts' risk, yield and values remain constant. The acquisition is planned to occur immediately, so ignore the time value of money.
Calculate the merged firm's share price (keep 2 decimal points) and total number of shares after the takeover has been completed.
