Answer:
E) $2.31
Explanation:
Shares offered to Firm B = Shares outstanding * 0.5 
= 220 * 0.5
= 110 shares
Total shares of firm A after merger = Shares outstanding before merger + Shares offered to Firm B 
= 750 + 110 
= 860 shares
Total earnings of firm A after merger = $1,250 + 740 
Total earnings of firm A after merger = $1,990
Earnings per share of firm A after merger = Total earnings of firm A after merger / Total shares of firm A after merger 
Earnings per share of firm A after merger = $1,990 / 860 
Earnings per share of firm A after merger = $2.31 per share

particular thing that has a purpose of doing bad since a patent is the
agreement, the patent is likely to allow the monopoly do something that is bad
or illegal as monopoly has the purpose of doing something bad.
