Modern Auto, an automobile parts supplier, has made an offer to acquire Sky Systems, creator of software for the airline industry. The offer is to pay Sky Systems' shareholders the current market value of their stock in Modern Auto's stock. The relevant information it used in those calculations is given below:
| Modern Auto | Sky Systems |
| Share price | $40 | $25 |
| Number of outstanding shares(ml lions) | 40 | 15 |
| Eam ngs(ml lions) | $100 | $30 |


Although the total earnings of the combined company will not increase and are estimated to be $130 million, Charles Wilhelm (treasurer of Modern Auto) argues that there are two attractive reasons to merge. First, Wilhelm says, “The merger of Modern Auto and Sky Systems will result in lower risk for our shareholders because of the diversification effect.” Second, Wilhelm also says, “If our EPS increases, our stock price will increase in line with the EPS increase because our P/E will stay the same.”Sky Systems managers are not interested in the offer by Modern Auto. The managers, instead, approach HiFly, Inc., which is in the same industry as Sky Systems, to see if it would be interested in acquiring Sky Systems. HiFly is interested, and both companies believe there will be synergies from this acquisition. If HiFly were to acquire Sky Systems, it would do so by paying $400 million in cash.
The acquisition of Sky Systems by Modern Auto and the acquisition of Sky Systems by HiFly, respectively, would be examples of a:
Option A:vertical merger and a horizontal merger.
Option B:conglomerate merger and a vertical merger.
Option C:conglomerate merger and a horizontal merger.

Answer: C
