Answer: 1.15

Step-by-step explanation:

Premium = 39%

Thor's share price = $42

The compensation to shareholders will be:

= $42 + ($42 × 0.39)

= $42 + $16.38

= $58.38

Loki's share price = $51

We then calculate the exchange ratio which will be:

= $58.38 / $51

= 1.15

Loki will need to offer an exchange rate of 1.15.
