Stock & Cash-for-Stock Offer Reconsider the potential acquisition described in the problem above. Again, Dubon has 4,750,000 shares outstanding that are currently selling for $47.85, and they are considering the purchase of the Wells Co. that has 2,350,000 shares outstanding that are selling at $35.65.
