6a Part i EPS for Cauliflower Post Merger 5/- .
Total Shares Post Merger 680000 & Earnings 25 + 9 = 3400000.
Part i 2nd altenative the EPS will be 5.23 , Total Earnings 3400000. but Shares will be 650000. as Exchange is 1 share of Cauliflower for 2 of Cabbage. so Cabbage gets 150000 shares & Shareholding of Cauliflower comes to 5 + 1.50 = 6.50 Lkhs
3400000 / 650000 = 5.23 R/off. Hence
Part ii There will be an Adverse Impact on Shareholders of Cabbage in Case 2 Because Shareholders of cabbage Get 150000 Shares & EPS being 5.23 Total = 784500/- Post Merger instead of 900000/- Pre Merger Hence Every Share there is a Negative Impact of 0.77 Paise. However for Shareholders of Cauliflower it will have a Gain of 0.23 Paise. if you cross Check it comes to
0.23 paise x 500000 shares it will be 115500. ( difference is due to R/off of 5.23 ) & Total of .77 x 150000 =115500
I hope this Explained Solution has given you the Full Question solved
