2. Merger valuation with multiples

Tyler Processings current stock price is $33.00 per share. Tyler is 100% equity financed and has been targeted by several potential acquirers. One of these suitors, Gellar Manufacturing, has conducted analysis to determine Tylers value to Gellar if it were acquired.
