Answer:

option (b) $34,789

Explanation:

Data provided in the question:

Worth of Firm A = $35,000

Incremental value of the acquisition = $2,500

Number of shares of Firm A outstanding = 2,000

Price of Firm A shares = $16 per share

Number of shares of Firm B outstanding = 1,200

Price of Firm B shares = $40 per share

Now,

Number of shares issued = Worth of Firm A ÷ Price per share of Firm B

= $35,000 ÷ $40

= 875 shares

Value per share after merger

= [ (1,200 × $40) + ( 2,000 × $16 ) + $2,500 ] ÷ [ 1,200 + 875 ]

= $82,500 ÷ 2,075

= $39.759

Therefore,

The Actual cost of acquisition

= Number of shares issued × Value per share after merger

= 875 × $39.7588

= $34788.95 ≈ $34,789

Hence,

The answer is option (b) $34,789

How does adaptability assist a school leaver to become a successful business owner
noname [10]

Answer:

To create a high degree of adaptability, you should develop more meaningful business relationships with others. If you're mindful of being respectful to others or having empathy, your relationships are only bound to deepen. In other words, when people see that you care about them and their businesses and not just what they can do to help you, you may gain more success. When you help someone without expecting anything in return, something happens. You get goodwill returned to you. In other words, when someone has a need or sees an opportunity for you, they will think of you, so it pays to keep your professional relationships adaptable.

People with a high degree of versatility have specific characteristics: attentiveness, competence, and resilience. Versatile people have a vision for the future and the ability to self-correct. People who are not versatile are resistant to change and single-minded. As an example, our friend could not focus on anything more than client development.

Grading the performance of minority group members by using lower standards and a patronizing attitude is called
postnew [5]
In my opinion, it is called subtle discrimination. Unlike blatant discrimination, which consists in openly humiliating a member of a minority based on their personal traits, subtle discrimination is much more perfidious, as it is not always easy to point finger at it or to legally assess it. Sometimes, it even happens as a consequence of seemingly good intentions. For example, if I use lower standards to grade Afro-Americans in a class of mixed students, it still means I assume they are less capable or educated, even if I do it because I know that they had been oppressed and had historically had less chance to educate themselves.
