    The share price for the merged firm is $48.09. Therefore, the correct option is C

    Explanation:

    (a) - Net Present Value (NPV)

    Net Present Value (NPV) = Market Value of the Target Firm + synergistic benefit - Acquisition Value

    = [3600 Shares multiply $19] plus $16700 minus [3600 Shares multiply $21]

    = $68400 plus 16700 minus 75600

    = $9500

    "Net Present Value (NPV) = $9500

    (b) Share Price

    Share price = [Market Value of the Bidding firm + NPV] / Number of shares of the Bidding firm

    = [ (8700Shares multiply $47) plus $9500] / 8700 Shares

    = [$408900 + 9500] / 8700 Shares

    = $48.09 per share

    "Share Price = $48.09 per share"
