a)

Present value of merger gain = Savings / cost of capital

Present value of merger gain = 900,000 / 0.06

Present value of merger gain = $15,000,000

b)

Cost of cash offer = (30 - 28) * 2,500,000

Cost of cash offer = $5,000,000

c)

NPV of the offer = Present value - cost

NPV of the offer = 15,000,000 - 5,000,000

NPV of the offer = $10,000,000
