This document presents a pedagogical approach to teaching cumulative abnormal returns (CARs) using Excel spreadsheets, focusing on Hewlett-Packard Company's acquisition of 3Com Corporation in 2009. It outlines two common event study methodologies for calculating CARs, provides a detailed lesson plan for educators, and illustrates the findings through Excel graphs. The paper aims to enhance students' understanding of financial event studies and demonstrates typical results observed in merger literature, where target firms experience positive CARs while acquiring firms show insignificant or negative returns.
