f another company with cash, whereas an acquisition involves one company becoming the owner of another company by buying all of the shares of its common stock. b. That a merger is the combining of two or more companies into a single corporate entity (with the newly created company often taking on a new name), whereas an acquisition is a combination in which one company, the acquirer, purchases and absorbs the operations of another, the acquired. c. That the brands of both companies are retained in a merger, whereas with an acquisition there is only one surviving brand name. d.

Answer: b. That a merger is the combining of two or more companies into a single corporate entity (with the newly created company often taking on a new name), whereas an acquisition is a combination in which one company, the acquirer, purchases and absorbs the operations of another, the acquired.

Explanation:

A MERGER is merger is a process where we see two firms which are usually of the same size joining forces to move forward as a new entity. This is usually called a "MERGER OF EQUALS".

An Acquisition on the other hand involves the taking over of one company by another with the latter becoming the new OWNERS and legally the former ceases to exist.

If you need any clarification do react or comment.
