Dilution The Metallica Heavy Metal Mining (MHMM) Corporation wants to diversify its operations. Some recent financial information for the company is shown here:

Stock price

$73

Number of shares

45,000

Total assets

$6,500,000

Total liabilities

$2,600,000

Net income

$630,000

MHMM is considering an investment that has the same PE ratio as the firm. The cost of the investment is $1,100,000, and it will be financed with a new equity issue. The return on the investment will equal MHMM’s current ROE. What will happen to the book value per share, the market value per share, and the EPS? What is the NPV of this investment? Does dilution take place?
