Hi Andrew. Question asked us to calculate the impact of Melplash Co gearing. Why you are using the value of combined company to calculate the value of equity

[@nasseryousif7606]

In Exhibit 3 it says to consider the two scenario which are funding through Cash or shares and in the question it states "considering the scenarios" which implies that we should account for the fact that the acquisition has taken place already and assess the impact both on gearing and EPS.

Hi Andrew, I have a question. Why you have included 310 in the debt value when we have 102M in our cash reserves. Req: impact on gearing

[@nasseryousif7606]

Because 310 is the extra fund required to acquire as currently the business only has 102 in cash reserves. This is the case if they decided to go for the cash offer instead of shares exchange.
