As stated earlier, we offered to pay $5.1 billion for the equity portion of the company. However, since it will take 12 to 18 months for the deal to close we must find the present value of our offer.

If we compare this to the implied market value of the equity, we can see that our offer is right in line with the value of the equity. As you can see, while we are paying right at the high end implied value for the firm, we are not overpaying for the company.

Specialty Toys Case Study 1. The mean is 20,000 units and there is a 95% probability that demand will be between 10, 000 and 30,000 units. This means there is a .025% chance that the demand will be outside of 10,000 and 30,000. Using the chart, we find that z=-1.96. Using the following calculation, we find: z= x- μ σ -1.96 = 10,000 – 20,000 σ σ=5102 Standard deviation σ = 5,102 μ = 20,000 mean 2.
