Your company has earnings per share of $ 4.19. It has 1.9 million shares​ outstanding, each of which has a price of $59. You are thinking of buying​ TargetCo, which has earnings per share of $ 2.10, 1.9 million shares​ outstanding, and a price per share of $ 21.You will pay for TargetCo by issuing new shares. There are no expected synergies from the transaction. If companies in the same industry as TargetCo are trading at multiples of 12 times​earnings, what would be one estimate of an appropriate premium for​TargetCo? TargetCo has $2.10 in​ earnings, so if other companies in its industry are trading at 12 times​ earnings, then a starting point for a valuation of TargetCo in this transaction might be per​share, implying a premium

If the current earnings per share of TargetCo. are $2.10, and the times earnings multiple is 12, the relative valuation should result in a $2.10 x 12 = $25.20 per stock. This means that the premium per stock = $25.20 - $21 = $4.20, and the total premium paid for all the 1.9 million shares = $7.98 million.

yes the correct answer was

b.the increased supply will create a surplus.    

answer: in the short-run firms will respond by raising the price of turkey.

explanation: initially the long-run equilibrium is at a price of $5 per pound of turkey and a quantity of 50 million pounds per year. now, when webmd claims that a protein found in turkey will increase your expected lifespan by 4 years. the consumers demand for turkey will increase at every price shifting the demand curve to the right from d1 to d2. while, there will be no change in the supply curve in the short-run as it is not possible for producers to adjust supply so quickly. as a result the new equilibrium will occur at a higher price and a higher quantity of turkey.

thus, in the short run firms will respond by increasing the price of turkey, selling more quantity at a higher price and earning economic profits.
