Answer: $1381400
Explanation:
From the question, we are informed that Company A is considering a merger with Company B and that A has 43,000 shares outstanding at a market price of $32 a share while B has 12,800 shares outstanding priced at $44 a share and the merger is expected to create $5,400 of synergy.
The total value of the merged firm will be:
= (43,000 × $32) + (12,800 × $44) + $5,400 - $563,200
= $1,376,000 + $563,200 + $5,400 - $563,200
= $1,944,600 - $563,200
= $1,381,400
Answer:
Specialization and the division of labor can increase productivity.
Explanation:
Specialization is about an <em>invidivual</em> focusing on very specific tasks that are best suited to them according to their skills and knowledge. This concept can be applied to <em>companies</em> and <em>countries</em>, as they specialize on producing a small amount of products they excel at, for having the raw material, knowledge and/or technology to do so.
The division of labor is about breaking down the production process of a good in <em>different parts</em> performed by <em>different people</em> instead of having all workers performing all the tasks. The idea is to let workers be <em>specialists</em> in a small amout of tasks so that they can be more efficient and overall productivity can be greatly increased. This concept was introduced by the <u>'father of economics'</u> Adam Smith in his book "The Wealth of Nations" released in 1776.
Specialization and division of labor are complementing concepts that bring a company an increase in productivity and helps achieve economies of scale.

You will always want to make sure you leave your name.
Hello, you have reached _____. I am unfortunately not able to come to the phone right now, or I am currently out of the office. Please feel free to contact me via email at
