Vireo and Lunara are mid-sized technology companies operating in overlapping regional markets. Each company currently sells its own software and services and maintains independent operations. A proposed merger between the two companies includes the following assumptions:
A 10% reduction in combined annual operating costs, primarily due to shared infrastructure and eliminated staffing redundancies.
A 5% increase in total combined revenue post-merger, attributed to cross-selling opportunities and integration of product offerings.
The combined company is expected to retain both brand names and core leadership teams. All financials refer to the most recent fiscal year and are stated in millions of U.S. dollars (USD), unless otherwise noted.

1. As per the given terms. Post Merger Op Costs are reduced by 10% and Revenue is increase by 5%.
Therefore, Post Merger Op Costs will be [(320+270)*0.90] = 531 Millions $. Post Merger Revenue will be [(400+300)*1.05] = 735 Millions $. Net Profit of approximately 200 Millions $
2. a. Post Merger Market Value is 1900 Millions $. Pre Merger Market value plus acquisition premium amounts to 1910 Millions $. Thus "YES".
b. Reduced Op Cost post merger by 10%. Thus 10% of total employees amounts to 270 only Thus "NO".
c. Increase in Revenue by 5% post merger. Therefore, the increase is by 35 Million $. Thus "YES".
3. 4.05 Billions shares outstanding. Total Acquisition Cost is 910 Millions $. Thus 910/4050 = 0.225. (910 Millions/4050 Millions)
Therefore, Post Merger Op Costs will be [(320+270)*0.90] = 531 Millions $. Post Merger Revenue will be [(400+300)*1.05] = 735 Millions $. Net Profit of approximately 200 Millions $

Question 1 Solution
The merged company is projected to increase revenue by 5% and reduce operating costs by 10%.
Question 2 Solutions
Statement 1:
The total amount paid by Vireo is $910M, which includes a 30% premium over Lunara’s $700M standalone value.
Total pre-merger value = 1,000 + 700 = 1,700 million
Total paid = 1,000 (Vireo) + 910 (for Lunara) = 1,910 million
Post-merger estimated value = 1,900 million
→ 1,900 < 1,910
Yes
Statement 2:
The merger aims to reduce operating costs by 10%.
Total combined employees = 1,600 + 1,100 = 2,700
A 10% proportional staff reduction = 2,700 × 0.10 = 270 employees
270 < 300
No
Statement 3:
Projected revenue growth = 5% of 700 = 35 million
→ 35 million > 30 million
Yes
Question 3 Solution
Total acquisition payment = $910 million
Shares outstanding = 4.05 billion
Cash per share = 910 ÷ 4,050 = $0.225 per share
Correct Answer: A. $0.225
The merged company is projected to increase revenue by 5% and reduce operating costs by 10%.
- Combined pre-merger revenue = 400 + 300 = 700 million
- Post-merger projected revenue = 700 × 1.05 = 735 million
- Combined pre-merger operating costs = 320 + 270 = 590 million
- Post-merger projected costs = 590 × 0.90 = 531 million
- Projected net profit = 735 − 531 = 204 million
Question 2 Solutions
Statement 1:
The total amount paid by Vireo is $910M, which includes a 30% premium over Lunara’s $700M standalone value.
Total pre-merger value = 1,000 + 700 = 1,700 million
Total paid = 1,000 (Vireo) + 910 (for Lunara) = 1,910 million
Post-merger estimated value = 1,900 million
→ 1,900 < 1,910
Yes
Statement 2:
The merger aims to reduce operating costs by 10%.
Total combined employees = 1,600 + 1,100 = 2,700
A 10% proportional staff reduction = 2,700 × 0.10 = 270 employees
270 < 300
No
Statement 3:
Projected revenue growth = 5% of 700 = 35 million
→ 35 million > 30 million
Yes
Question 3 Solution
Total acquisition payment = $910 million
Shares outstanding = 4.05 billion
Cash per share = 910 ÷ 4,050 = $0.225 per share
Correct Answer: A. $0.225
