Answer: a. Western Power must comply with the Williams Act.

Explanation: The Williams Act was passed into law in 1968 and is a federal defining the rules of acquisitions and tender offers in response to hostile attempts at takeovers from corporate raiders who make cash tender offers for stocks they owned. These offers often destroy value since they force stockholders to tender stocks on a shortened timetable and as such, the Williams Act also includes time constraints specifying the number of days to make a decision and also the least amount of time such cash offers may be open. In accordance with the Act, Western Power must follow the tenets stipulated within the Act.

PLEASE HURRY..<br> List four factors you should consider when selecting a financial institution.
Dafna1 [17]

Answer:

The specialty or expertise of the financial institution

Their Management and Board composition

Their capital adequacy

Their performance

Explanation:

1) Specialty/Expertise:

Different financial institutions have their different area of strength/competence. Some are good in retail, some are good investment banking, some are good in deal making and consolidation etc. Depending on the purpose for which they are to be deployed, the area of their competence would matter most. E.g contracting a bank that is predominantly strong in retail banking to execute an M&A deal would not be ideal.  

2) Management & Board composition:

The strength of a financial institution is as good as the quality of the people managing it. The expertise and know how of the management in key areas of business development, strategy, operations etc. will be vital for the growth of the financial institution

3) Capital adequacy

The adequacy of the capital structure of a financial institution is critical as it determines how much business and risk it can take on. By capital adequacy, we simply mean the ratio of its equity to debt. The less leverage its balance sheet is, the more business it can take on. This is critical if the volume of transaction one is about to transact with the financial institution is large.

4) Performance

The performance of a financial institution will show how efficient it is at generating returns and creating value to its shareholders and well as stakeholders. Every investor has an expectation of returns, a financial institution should be able to meet or exceed the market average for such performance yardstick as margin, ROI (return on investment), Return on Asset (ROA) etc
