If a publicly-traded company in western Europe trades at 100 Euros per share, what is its acquisition value based on a 30% increase?

To determine the acquisition value of a publicly-traded company based on a proposed 30% increase from its current share price of 100 Euros, it is essential to apply the percentage increase to the base price.

Calculating a 30% increase involves multiplying the current price by 30% (or 0.30) and then adding that value back to the original price. Here’s the calculation:

1. Calculate 30% of 100 Euros:

0.30 × 100 Euros = 30 Euros

2. Add this increase to the original price:

100 Euros + 30 Euros = 130 Euros

Thus, the acquisition value based on a 30% increase is 130 Euros per share. This price reflects the premium that a buyer might be willing to pay to acquire the company, considering the expected benefits and growth potential associated with the acquisition.
