8 Dongle Corp. is analysing an acquisition of Tingle Inc. Dongle has 10 million shares outstanding, which sell for $40 each. Tingle has 5 million shares outstanding, which sell for $20 each. The merger gains are estimated at $25 million. If Dongle Corp. has a price-earnings ratio of 12 and Tingle has a P/E ratio of 8, what should be the P/E ratio of the merged firm? Assume in this case that the merger is financed by an issue of new Dongle Corp. shares. Tingle will get one Dongle share for every two Tingle shares held. (Do not round intermediate calculations.
