What would be the most likely fair value for Avantek that would make sense to both Goldman and Kidder around the time period (say between 11:00 and 11:59) when Greg was negotiating with Goldman and Kidder? Hint: Each market maker's fair value is usually the mid-point of his bid and ask prices. There are multiple market makers/dealers for a stock on the OTC market. Goldman and Kidder are market makers. T. Rowe Price is a normal trader. Suppose a market maker believes the true value of a stock is 100. His bid and ask prices for the stock can be, e.g., 95 and 105. Traders are going to trade with the market maker at either 95 (sellers) or 105 (buyers). Other traders in the market are going to see a sequence of transaction prices of, for example, 95, 105, 95, 105, 105... with 95 and 105 randomly showing up on the computer screen. This is because buyers and sellers randomly arrive at the market and trade with the market maker. To find market maker's bid and ask, as well as the fair value, you need to examine the transaction price history during the time when T Rowe Price made the phone call. Such information is in the exhibits at the end of the case. A. 24 5/8 B. 24 6/8 C C. 24 D. 23 1/2 10 points
