Lindbergh Airlines is planning to make an offer for Flight Simulators, Inc. The stock of Flight Simulators is currently selling for $30 a share.
Q1. If the tender offer is planned at a premium of 60 percent over market price, what will be the value offered per share for Flight Simulators?
Q2. Suppose before the offer is actually announced, the stock price of Flight Simulators, Inc., goes to $42 because of strong merger rumors. If you buy the stock at that price and the merger goes through (at the price computed in part a), what will be your percentage gain?
Q3. Because there is always the possibility that the merger could be called off after it is announced, you also want to consider your percentage loss if that happens. Assume you buy the stock at $42 and it falls back to its original value after the merger cancellation. What will be your percentage loss?
