The Metallica Heavy Metal Mining (MHMM) Corporation wants to diversify its operations. Some recent financial information for the company is shown here: |

Total assets | $ | 8,700,000 | |
Total liabilities | $ | 3,600,000 | |
Net income | $ | 600,000 | |
MHMM is considering an investment that has the same PE ratio as the firm. The cost of the investment is $640,000, and it will be financed with a new equity issue. The return on the investment will equal MHMM’s current ROE. |

Answer:
1) Current Return on Equity (ROE) :
2) New net Income
3) Compute the current EPS = $600,000/$30,000 = $20
4) Number of shares to be issued to finance new investment = $640,000/$69 9,276 shares
5) EPS after issue of new equity shares = $675,024/(30000+9276) = $17.19 per share
6) Current Price to Earning Ratio = P/E0 = $69/$20 = 3.45
7) Price of share after issue of new issue, P1 = 3.45 * 17.19 = $59.31
8) Current Book Value per Share = Total Equity/ Total Shares = (8,700,000-3,600,000)/30,000 = $170
9) Book Value per Share after issue of New Equity = Total Equity/ Total Shares = (8,700,000-3,600,000+675,024)/(30,000+9276) = $175.13
Market Price fell after Investment. Hence, Market Dilution took Place.
Book Value of Share increased after investment. Hence, Accounting Dilution didn't take place.
