Pepper Company tentatively plans to issue 30,000 shares of its $20 par value stock, which has a current market value of $37 per share net of commissions and other issue costs. Pepper Company then plans to acquire the assets and assume the liabilities of Salt Company for a cash payment of $800,000 and $300,000 in long-term 8% notes payable. Pepper Company”s receivables include $60,000 owed by Salt Company. Pepper Company is willing to pay more than the book value of Salt Company assets because plant assets are undervalued by $215,000 and Salt Company has historically earned above-normal profits.
