Consider the following premerger information about a bidding firm (Firm B) and a target firm (Firm T). Assume that both firms have no debt outstanding.

	Firm B			Firm T
Shares outstanding		5,600			1,500
Price per share	$	54		$	24

Firm B has estimated that the value of the synergistic benefits from acquiring Firm T is $8,000. Firm T can be acquired for $26 per share in cash or by exchange of stock wherein B offers one of its share for every two of T's shares.

Are the shareholders of Firm T better off with the cash offer or the stock offer?

	Cash offer is better
	Share offer is better

At what exchange ratio of B shares to T shares would the shareholders in T be indifferent between the two offers? (Do not round intermediate calculations and round your answer to 4 decimal places, e.g., 32.1616.)
