I will not start writing a hypothetical model here. Institutions pay thousands to build those models, which are approximations at best.

You can study past mergers to see how this might be modeled out. In general, you increase the amount of consideration paid for the merger to reduce accretion in EPS or increase dilution. That's something investment bankers figure out.

How do you use TRUE/FALSE switches to create a J-curve ? The equity IRR on the transaction is based of the assumption to create a J-curve.

Than you.

If you want to try out modeling, you can start with this template of the potential Apple acquisition of Disney. It is the WSP template: https://s3.amazonaws.com/wsp_sample_file/excel-templates/accretion-dilution-model-sample.xlsx
