The stock has recently been trading at $80 per share among current shareholders. Four dollars of this value is attributed to investor anticipation of a cash dividend. As the financial manager of Ridley Energy, you are evaluating the alternative of repurchasing some company common stock by means of a tender offer at $80 per share.
