Poppy Corporation is analysing the possible acquisition of Tulip Company. There are two alternatives for Poppy: to use cash or stock as payment. Both firms have no debt. Poppy believes the acquisition will increase its total after-tax annual cash flow by 1.3 million indefinitely. The current market value of Tulip is 27 million, and that of Poppy is 62 million. The appropriate discount rate for the incremental cash flows is 11 percent. Poppy is trying to decide whether it should offer 35 percent of its stock or 37 million in cash to Tulips shareholders.
