Companies, 2002- Incorporating Goodwill In the previous problem, suppose the fair market
value of Sorenson’s fixed assets is $10,000 versus the $5,000 book value shown.
Sipowicz pays $14,000 for Sorenson and raises the needed funds through an is-
sue of long-term debt. Construct the postmerger balance sheet now, assuming
that the purchase method of accounting is used. - Balance Sheets for Mergers Silver Enterprises has acquired All Gold Mining
in a merger transaction. Construct the balance sheet for the new corporation if
the merger is treated as a pooling of interests for accounting purposes. The fol-
lowing balance sheets represent the premerger book values for both firms. - Incorporating Goodwill In the previous problem, construct the balance sheet
for the new corporation assuming that the transaction is treated as a purchase for
accounting purposes. The market value of All Gold Mining’s fixed assets is
$2,800; the market values for current and other assets are the same as the book
values. Assume that Silver Enterprises issues $8,400 in new long-term debt to fi-
nance the acquisition. - Cash versus Stock Payment Eastman Corp. is analyzing the possible acqui-
sition of Kodiak Company. Both firms have no debt. Eastman believes the ac-
quisition will increase its total aftertax annual cash flows by $2.6 million
indefinitely. The current market value of Kodiak is $102 million, and that of
Eastman is $140 million. The appropriate discount rate for the incremental cash
flows is 12 percent. Eastman is trying to decide whether it should offer 40 per-
cent of its stock or $110 million in cash to Kodiak’s shareholders.
a.What is the cost of each alternative?
b.What is the NPV of each alternative?
c. Which alternative should Eastman choose?
